      The UK, the EU and soon the U.S. making it mandatory to give your ID when you want to see anything “NSFW”.

      Maybe also payment processors folding before puritan christian nationalists.

          I know, thats whats so fucked up about it. It is advertised as “protecting children” (as always) but just ends up as a censor, ignoring the fact that tech savy people of any age can circumvent this. It is population control, as the masses won’t realize whats happening. Disgusting.

        Or visiting trans or other LGBTQ reources. Or aborion, mental health, autism, or whatever else they decice to persecute next.

        This isn’t just a threat to what they don’t like now. We’ve seen how Trump turned perfectly normal things into targets. It’s a threat to whatever they decide they don’t like in the future.

        Thank you. I did read some of the news. Just wanted to know if I missed something.

        Unfortunately, I can already see the term “NSFW” being abused to fit whatever narrative the governments.

        Moreover, it is setting a dangerous precedent for rest of the world, especially countries already leaning towards fascism.

        also some of the flimsy pretexts that ICE and border control are using to “prove” that people are members of criminal gangs.

      Basically, we’ve been waiting since the early 2010s for people in the “i have nothing to hide club” to figure out why they should protect their info. Now, they have built psychological profiles on us all to the point that their surveillance algos know what we are doing before we do. When the government further destabilizes just a little bit, everything we’ve ever done will be used against us. They will ramp up the abise as soon as they can get away with it. God help these company executives who are furries on the weekend and have unicorn tail buttplugs at parties. So many people are going to be cancelled over puritain rhetoric for nonsense tribial quirks that nobody should give af about.

        If they’re coming for us anyway then give them a middle finger instead of a whimper. Wear your buttplug with pride.
