    it was only a matter of time until these crusty desiccated old clueless fucks tried to go after VPNs. how are they proposing to prove that user X accessed a given site with VPN, while user Y didn’t? and how are they going to go after overseas sites? and good luck trying to get a single ISP on the planet to block all VPN traffic

    morons. these are the same people who want to “move on” from epstein

      They’re not intending to prove anything. The goal is to put the burden of risk on websites, to force them to just block VPNs completely. Even if it’s unlikely that a VPN user will get unmasked as being underage, the risk of being liable if it does happen will (in theory) be too great for them to ignore.

      I imagine they will have conservative activists use VPNs to access these websites, and then pass that information onto law enforcement, who will then use that to try and bankrupt said websites and services.

        conservatives look at porn just like everyone else. again, it was never about “protect the children.” it’s always been about surveillance and control. they’re using the “stop kids from looking at porn” rhetoric to justify removing every last shred of privacy there ever was on the internet.

        they don’t give a flying fuck about kids. we’re talking about the party of epstein pedophile rapist con men.
