Plus making it impossible to function as a site and remain profitable, effectively banning them in all but name
This is really all it ever is. Its them considering something a societal cancer, and then trying to make the government ban it.
You'd think they'd have read up how well Prohibition worked. Its even a nearly 1:1 comparison considering the damage alcohol does and still does daily to everyone, yet we realized banning it didn't accomplish anything.
Except this time their get out of jail card is to claim that the sites voluntarily shut down access in their state and it's not an actual ban. They won't mention the bureaucracy, red tape and impossible requirements they implemented that led to this situation.
Exactly, and then the whole time position themselves as "the good guys" because they said the word "CHILDREN" and that instantly makes them the morally superior.
Because when you say think of the children, you are always in the right everytime forever and anyone who opposes you wants children raped and groomed and ruined.

Unless you're a right winger who actually opposes children getting groomed and raped. Then you're just a transphobe who needs to be cancelled.
Because I grew up in Moonshine country where people have actual storied histories barely a generation removed explaining how they got away with ignoring it or dodging it, and in turn spending more time in the presence of criminals to assist in those endeavors.
Nascar and stock racing alone got its start by an entire criminal industry forming in response to it, and that's just a single operation in one area of the country.
The people who were causing problems due to alcohol didn't and weren't going to stop just because of a law, all it accomplished was punishing innocent folks from having freedom. No different than "common sense" gun laws, which I'm sure you'll whine "bubububut that's different!"

But prohibition did reduce crime, reduce deaths from alcohol & associated illnesses.
Why do you feel that banning it "didn't accomplish anything"? Is that based on data?
