Of course it will. I don’t understand why Utah thinks they can censor content when countries like North Korea and China demonstrate that a circumvention is always found.
I use VPNs when I’m in China just to download anime, grim.
You’re forgetting one key fact: https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/mormon-population-by-state
EFF to the rescue.
The last time I checked, no person under the age of 18 can purchase internet access from an ISP. An adult has to enter a contract before a single byte can be transferred across the internet. All the content you see online was put there by an adult, or the responsibility of an adult. The internet itself is already an age gate.
This shit is like a nightclub sueing the government to have the bus driver check id’s
You can find an open Wi-Fi network
Local library
Coffee shop.
FBI surveillance van
what movie is this?
This is real life now. But also Idiocracy.
It’s got what plants crave.
Water? Like from the toilet?
I ain’t never seen no plant growing out of no toilet
Omfg just talk to your kids and fucking be a parent. It’s not that hard. Fucking puritanical shitlords.
These laws have nothing to do with children but on paper..
Fuck age verification
*on the Internet
More like *that empowers the surveillance state.
Honestly, I have nothing against age restricted spaces (within reason). When a bouncer checks your ID at a bar, they historically haven’t been logging that interaction. Its not used to track your movement, reported to your health insurance company, etc…
If you assigned the death penalty to CEOs who store or sell verification information I could maybe be talked into providing my ID to an online company.
Everywhere, stuff should have a knowledge or “maturity” test. People age and mature differently, they shouldn’t be limited due to arbitrary distinctions like an age.
Problem with that is different people have different ideas as to what’s “mature enough,” or even “mature” at all.
and since the point is the tracking and not the age at all there’s no reason to even try a maturity test. it’s about your identity, nothing more and nothing less, every single time it’s brought up. If they cared even a shred about kids we’d have universal healthcare so as usual it’s just flat out lies to our face.
Do… I need to point out why this is a dumb statement?
“She may be 10 but she passed the maturity test!”
“Yes officer, I’m nine, but I passed the maturity test so it’s fine that I’m smoking and drinking.”
Age isn’t a great indicator in all respects, but “maturity” is arbitrary and subjective, and makes no damn sense in so, so many instances.
Tell that to a girl’s father.
“You’re very mature for your age”
But Jesus told them to pass the law.
