    In totally unrelated news, VPN services are thriving and have many other useful features.

    This is dumb. Any decent VPN will provide exit nodes in non restricted states. Getting around this block is trivial

    Florida also “blocked” kids under 14 from social media. My 12-yo and I had a solid laugh.

    This all may turn out to be a good thing! Kids will learn more about security and internet!

    LOL sounds like a thinly veiled effort to get more good ol’ boys to go fight for Russia. North Korean soldiers there are going crazy over porn, after having restricted internet access their whole lives.

    I don’t think I give a shit if kids see porn.

    If that’s the thing we’re worried about, and the price of dealing with it is strangling privacy, then the problem is not worth solving.

    There’s a lot worse on the internet. There’s a lot worse on daytime television. Blood and guts and cults and informercials. Desirable crude entertainment is obviously not worth locking down the internet. I mean for fuck’s sake, at least with “four horsemen” excuses, like terrorism and money laundering, we agree that those things are bad.

      Things that tucked me up on the internet as a teenager wasn’t porn, most of us knew that was fake. It was the live leak shit that really broke millennials

      States are requiring age verification by giving your id. Sites like PH just said nah and block you from viewing the site if you’re in one of those states.
