Weelllll…. Fuck.
I mean, I’ve got a VPN so this is a non issue for me. But it’s still a government screaming THINK OF THE CHILDREN while all they’re actually doing is creating a privacy and compliance nightmare.
Plus the whole “who decides what’s porn” and then suddenly after Reform get in you need to be 18+ to look up information about LGBT issues.
Also wondering if it’s going to affect the fediverse.
Yet another nail in the coffin of the golden age of the internet.
