  is it tho because we have been doing porn since forever and porn is not gatekeeperd by SE at all. seams like long term slow burn to Gov tendrils just like digital ID and how desperate the example came across as to show any real function, contradictory even. Pivot, what about the children. small steps and right back on the gradient of slippyslope we are

  People search porn in google? Because google is internet itself?

      Absolutely no one searches for porn on Google except if they don't know the URL of an aggregator. Which that one kid will tell everyone if they don't.

        More people than searches for free fonts at least (couldn’t think of a good comparison search term to “Free porn” off the top of my head) https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=Free%20porn,Free%20fonts&hl=en https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=...

  While anyone who wants to ban people looking at porn will be on side with this, the political oomph is probably more from authoritarians who are working towards a digital ID. Anyone who cares about the porn angle would be forced to admit this won't do very much. Anyone who wants to keep the wrong people out of politics would be quietly noting that this is a small but unquestionable win.
