In an unrelated development VPN sales are up 500% in Utah.
If they could pay for a VPN, they're old enough to watch it, which is what the whole law is about.
True. I'm just worried about the privacy aspect. The data will get leaked, most likely for the benefit of the regime. I get that people here don't like porn here but the justification for this law could easily be applied to "misinformation" or "hate".
I used to completely agree with you, but kids accessing porn is becoming a huge issues with serious harm on them and society.
Let adults who want porn get a good VPN to protect their privacy, it's really fucking up kids.
I am fully convinced that the ubiquity of porn is directly responsible for the troon pandemic. Autism + porn addiction + grooming = troon.
That's probably the best balance that can be struck. The biggest problem with this law is the government monitoring what kind of content you're accessing.
We're way beyond "is becoming", we're in the "It should have been stopped 20 years ago" stage. At the latest, when Apple and big tech ran their cleanup programs in 2009, it would have been nice if they cleaned up the internet porn, but that wasn't good for the regime's plans
Minors don't get porn through Pornhub anyways. They get it through Twitter, Reddit, and Discord. Or, more accurately, the sites they use as a replacement for socialization simultaneously act as porn sites, often without any input on the user's part. And that's not even the only problem. Those sites also have far more non-vanilla porn, on top of doubling as advertising centers. So socialization, advertising, vanilla porn, and fetish porn are all being wrapped up into one package.
Not to mention, its just the same old "the people it means to stop will easily circumvent it, leaving only the innocent suffering for it" problem with legislating most of society's ills.
Because the kids will figure out how to get around it, they always do and most people here probably have their own personal example of doing it back in the day. Meaning it just punishes adults with more work, cost, and risk while protecting nothing.
It only applies to people younger than 18.
You don't need porn to jerk off unless your brain is already completely fried.
That won't sell, everyone in the UK knows it's the police that protects pedophiles not VPNs.
Hell them and the government still protect that former underage child murder despite him being a pedo viewing CP.
A pedo using a vpn is giving the cops a complete paper trail with bank details as an extra bonus. It is extremely rare for a vpn not to comply with police and even rarer for them to not have a full history of the usage.
