Another State Lawmaker Wants To Criminalize Porn Through Age Verification::Here we go again, everyone. Another far-right state lawmaker has introduced a bill requiring age verification in order to access porn sites from within state limits. This time it is Tennessee state Rep. Patsy Hazlewood who introduced yet another extreme age verification proposal that essentially makes it a crime to own a legally operating porn…

It’s definitely a coordinated, global effort. This doesn’t just happen in multiple states and countries all at once by chance, it really feels like some group is conspiring to make it happen. We already got this passed in the UK by a de-facto unelected leadership who whips their party into voting their way.

I have to wonder if it’s linked to how many women saw success with OnlyFans and the like, so they could avoid working in horrible conditions like at an Amazon factory that pretends to have rules on how long you can do work that probably damages your body, and then just conveniently lets it slip that they ended up making you do what was supposed to be 30 minutes, for several hours. Some capital owners are already trying for child labour, so their desire to abuse workers more than usual is already established. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all connected, but I’m not sure if there’s solid evidence, so this is just a fun theory I have.

I agree it’s a global and concerted effort but just because they are all banging on about porn and using it as the Trojan horse, this isn’t about porn or nudity or sex.

You remember when ‘Arab Spring’ happened? And all the usual suspects said how great it was and that the internet had a democratising influence? The were welcoming the changes in the Arab world but saw the true power of the unmediated internet in those coordinated protests and vowed they’d never let it happen to them.

Within five years we’re going to see gigantic walled gardens where people can only sign in using their given name and confirming by a passport or driving license. We can already see sites where you have to use a OTP or authenticator code on a smart phone to sign in. Extrapolating your identity from that info is trivial.

I think there will be another internet available only by using other protocols but it will be forever looked down upon and payment providers will not service any monetisation there.

No, but it does present more data for the unscrupulous.

I doubt the entire gig economy adds up enough to worry our masters.

She ran unopposed in the last election after claiming she was going to retire. However, because the local Democratic party can’t get its shit together to run a candidate, she just filed her papers and extended her career of taking those free tax dollars and putting them in her pocket.
