Potential Rule 8 Question: Regarding the Recent Anti-NSFW Content Bans...

[TheFabulousCustodes]

SCOTUS last Month also threw in some complication from FSC v Paxton by putting Age Verification in a Schrödinger's Constitutional Right by instead of reviewing Porn as the content it was reviewed on who it impact and declaring it's a violation for adults to be forced to do Age Verification but not children.

So wait, the Supreme Court ruled it's okay to force internet age verification on minors, but not on adults?

How would you tell the difference when someone tries to access content?

The only way I could think of at the moment would be for Internet Providers to check the account owners age before allowing access to said content, and because the VAST majority of phone, cable, and internet bills are paid for by adults, effectively every access attempt would go through.

Maybe something could be done with phones, because they're registered to individual people, but through tablets, pc's, etc connecting to home wifi?

I find it very amusing and ironic that governments are forcing age/identity verification to use the internet… in the early days it was the parents/adults responsibility to keep children out of bad sites, that and the children's fear of getting caught by said parents if they went there anyways.

I mean the governments have no issue requiring ID/Age to buy Lottery Tickets, Booze, Smokes and Cigs, travel to other countries etc. so this isn't really that much of a stretch (other then of jurisdiction)… But asking for ID to vote is where some draw the line… like pick a fucking lane!

Hey, parents nowadays are too busy with more important stuff to actually parent their crotch fruit or keep age inappropriate electronics out of their hands.

Schools are also too busy with important stuff to teach stuff like internet safety and enforce basic discipline.

As to governments, well:



I mean, it is not like historically unpopular governments would do something like suppress the opposition or spy on them, right, right.

And we also have the alleged "demographics crash", which some of these patronizing moral guardians blame on porn and the internet.

Thread Tax to try and avoid getting another Infraction for even simply participating in Discussion:
Something for Utah:
SB73:
They're pushing forward an anti-VPN Bill by making Age Verification a thing even if using VPN for Commercial Websites... somehow. Also making providing instruction on using one Illegal*. It's only if the Website has "substantial material harmful to minors".

VPN companies arguments against it is it's basically demanding world wide ID checks and is a liability trap.

Anyone concerned about this: England also is trying and failing to and China gave up long ago trying to. If China can't do it Utah sure as Hells ain't gonna succeed. Trying to legislate the planet again.

*never seen a single Website provide such, it's always Advertisements on YouTube or just people saying you should be using one from the amount of Viruses and Malware making the Internet hazardous to any computer without one.

Also a somewhat funny side thing in SB73:
Utah put a Tax on NSFW Content specifically. Not sure how they'll do that.

Only one NSFW specific I could find. Rest probably violates the "no general Censorship" thing from it being Social Media AV. Still might impact QQ from that technically being Social Media but it's not NSFW specific.

It's the Logic that "Porn=Drugs". It's even one of the arguments for Age Verification that they're just doing the same thing as if it were a liquor store. Ignoring how there's a mountain of difference. They also cite Pseudoscience.

Like campaigning to make the Government do it for them to suppress Wrongthink and Incorrect Ideas from Society as a whole, to forcibly create a candyland echo chamber where only Morally Approved Ideas are allowed.

Moral Guardians just are useful idiots for the ones who fantasizing about children when they say "think of the children" who feed them whatever they are told to blame.
