Lie cheat and steal to hoard billions while people die, but its cool as long as you give some of it back later /s

The same dumb stuff they did in the US.

Kids can access porn sites if unsupervised. So they blamed the porn sites for not properly age-verifying users. The only way to do that would be to force porn sites to check IDs.

So instead, those sites just block traffic from the states that passed the laws, and all the porn visitors either use a VPN to access the site anyway, or find an even shadier site to visit.
