My artfight ad. Hope to see you there!!! Will do my team card a bit later when I can.

This is also tied into the "Think of the Children" rhetoric as well. 'Age Verification' has been a problem for a very long time, and that'san entire rant on it's own. There will always be ways around it, and there will always be fallout on everyone else whether they agree with it or not.

Authoritarianism is not the answer. It scares the shit out of me too see so much danger and there's little I can actively do to stop it.

It's mostly Rich Old White Men doing everything they can to cling on to every aspect of power they can, and it's hurting the entire country. It affects you even if you "don't fuck with it". It will still go right ahead without your consent.

Many of us have said it before and will say it again: It's never about 'the children', it's about control and power. Do not give it to them.

"Utah isn’t alone in trying to legislate the impossible into being. In the UK, the House of Lords — Parliament’s secondary chamber — voted 207-159 in January to ban VPN services for under 18s, with those amendments now due to be debated in the House of Commons. VPN use jumped by more than 1,400% on the first day of age verification enforcement in July last year. Meanwhile, France’s digital affairs minister, Anne Le Hénanff, has said that VPNs are “next on my list.” Wisconsin considered similar VPN provisions earlier this year but scrapped them due to heavy backlash. To date, the only countries that have made progress in blocking VPN traffic with some success are authoritarian regimes with ISP-level surveillance."
