Dystopian Internet

[Brain O'Conner]

What are your guy's thoughts on the laws being pushed on the internet? Starting August 13th, YouTube, at least in the U.S. will have tighter age restrictions by requiring your ID, biometric data, or banking info to verify who you are no matter if you say you're 18 or whatever. An AI determines your age by the look of your face as well. I even heard rumors that it will put restrictions on your account based on the things you watch. For example, if you watch a lot of kid friendly things, it may assume you're a kid and put age restrictions on you. In due time, this will probably extend to other things as well such as simply surfing the web. Most people admit that it's not about protecting the kids, it is about control over citizens and what they can and cannot say. For me honestly, that is a possibility, but I am not completely sure. The one thing I hate about all of this for certain is how these "safety bills" restrict kids from they can see, hear, learn, etc. It's disgusting it makes me mad.

They are digital fascism, plain and simple. UK and Australia are all aboard the censorship train. Thank god the US hasn’t caved in to that yet. Australian Groups like Collective Shout have target payment processors to remove content deemed objectionable from Steam(video game distribution platform). I think we are often the justification for such laws, with anti-pedophilia “manufacturing consent” for anti-obscenity, anti-privacy and pro-censorship laws.

You guys remember when google tried to make everyone use their real ID to make a Google+ account and require that to use their services, including YouTube? And how everyone was so outraged that Google caved and dropped the whole thing?

Well, I got a feeling that may be coming back. And chances are they're going to get away with it this time.

There will be a backlash with increasingly radical aspects to it:

1. More explicitly pro-pornography, permissive ideology.

2. More pushback against the idea "porn" content "harms" "children".

3. More pirate ideology and freetards.

All the antis bitching and whining over this is hilarious, considering they asked for this in the first place

Attention seeking whore:”Oh im 17 and 364 days old and willingly hunted out a 20 year old to flirt with online, which somehow makes me an innocent “victim” who deserves your money and attention, if only that evil 20 year old pdf hadnt made that sex joke and robbed me off my childhood purity and innocence, oh whatever shall we do to spare these poor innocent minors from the fate I suffered?”

Goverment:why dont we just ban minors from online spaces where they commonly report getting “groomed”? Like twitter and reddit?

Attention seeking whore:NO NOT LIKE THAT

OR

Attention seeking whore:when I was 13, I saw big tity goth futa furry rape incest porn on pornhub. It was marked 18+ and nsfw and had mdni in bio, but the creator is clearly a pedophile using reverse psychology to groom innocent little ole me into clicking the photo, now I am “traumatized” and “scarred”.I am not a disgusting degeneate like them, so there is NO WAY that I clicked that clearly labled work posted on a 18+ site that said “MINORS DO NOT CLICK YOU WILL BE TRAUAMTIZED IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 DO NOT INTERACT IF YOU ARE LEGALLY A CHILD DONT LOOK AVERT YOUR EYES YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED” out of curosity and enjoyment, no way jose, it mist have been those secret pedophile reverse psychology grooming mind control powers. Evil pdfs are grooming poor wittle baby minors like me into willingly clicking incest porn of our own free will, which is basically rape. I think any adult who posts violent content like rape or incest should be censored, or banned.Violence towards fictional cartoon characters is very serious and will corrupt poor little baby minors like me since we all have schizophrenia and are devlopmentally 5 and cant tell anime catgirls apart from real living humans. Im 17 and go to college full time and have a job and im planning on joining the millitary when I turn 18 in two months but because i am two months under big daddy goverments special number and therfore a stupid idiot baby victim child, you are basically online raping me for manipulating me into seeing futa furrys get raped. In two months when I can no longer use the “IM LITERALLY A MINOR YOU PDF!!” excuse when im loosing an argument I will magically and conveniently be able to suddenly tell the difference between fiction and reality, anime girls from living breathing people, as it will no longer help me win arguments online, because thats how ageing works or some fucking shit

The goverment:ok, we will ban big titty goth futa furry rape incest porn since minors cant seperate fictional violnce from real life.

Attention seeking whore:good, as you know, I am incapable of seperating violence in fantasy and fictional content from real life, because I am only 17 and 364 days old and just an infant

The goverment:ok, and we are also banning gta 5 because it contains glorified and romanticed fictional violence for the viewers pleasure and the minors themselves claim that they are incapable of
seperafing violence in fantasy and fictional content from real life

Attention seeking whore:NO WAIT NOT LIKE THAT-

The goverment:and we are also banning and censoring all horror games and shooting games, espcially ones that contain violence directed towards minors, women, or animals, like fnaf(child murder) or minecraft(animal abuse) or roblox(contains violent games)

Attention seeking whore: NO WAIT NOT LIKE THAT I DIDNT MEAN IT LIKE THAT!!!!

The goverment:Overwatch objectifies and sexualizes women, so its getting banned too, dont want you kids getting the wrong idea, and subway surfers has adult on child police brutality, and fortnite normalizes and romantizes shooting guns at people for fun, which causes school shootings, so thats getting banned too, for the good and safety of you kids

Attention seeking whore: WAIT TAKE IT BACK I DIDNT MEAN WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE FURRY INCEST PORN

OR

Femanazi bitch:Porn is evil and basically worse than crack cocaine to kids, even “kids” over the age of consent who have real life sex all the time with no legal issue, I demand that the goverment steps in and do everything in their power from stopping those filthy degens from exposing those poor little baby infant minors from seeing anything explicit

The goverment:ok just give us your photo id, your home address, your banking info, your social security, your mothers maiden name, your left pinky toenail, and the keys to your house so we can validate that you are an adult and stop teens from seeing goth femboy piss porn on pornhub. Just like you said, porn for minors is badically worse than crack cocaine and we have to do “anything possible” to stop “poor little baby infant minors” from seeing ANYTHING “explicit”, so this will of course, also apply to youtube and spotify and rape support groups and puberty sex ed and lgbt resources and and and

Femanazi bitch:NOOOO I DIDNT ASK FOR THIS


I dont really care because pedos are already censored and this only benefits us. Pedos already cant watch porn because it is illegal, and now antis cant watch porn because it is also illegal. It will teach them empathy and cause a boom in the dark web, normalizing PIM and ahowing antis that it really isnt that hurtful or dangerous.

Minors wont be able to blow of sexual steam online, so they will have to seek sexual pleasure in the real world and sexual education from real people in real life, and only pedos will be willing to give minors sex ed and sexual pleasure, and it is less dangerous to have sexual contact with a minor in person than irl because there will be no reciepts like text messages and it will just be “he said she said” so another win for pedos

Pedos are already censored and have their accounts deleted for being too “explicit for minors” on places like twitter and bluesky. So this will once again, only affect antis

Antis will realize how dangerous censorship is and how stopping a minor from seeing tits is in no way worth destroying basic privacy and safety and will start arguing for youth sexuality.

So basically, all I see is wins for the pedo community. This stuff has either

A.already affected us, as we also cant legally goon or post our explicit works of art or opinions, or

B.Will actively drive more antis to supporting our side due to basic neccesaity. The goverment is arguing to go full 1984 to stop teens from playing jerkmate, the pedos are arguing that not only is porn fine, but actually fucking awesome for minors, and that a teen seeing pussy online shouldnt be worth going full 1984, that leaves the antis with only two choices, either siding wtih the goverment and taking it up the ass like a good boy or siding with pedos, the guys that are pro freedom of speech, pro sexuality, anti goverment, and anti sex facism. Which side the antis will pick, the goverments side of having to give out their social security number and home address just to watch femboy hentai “for the kids”, or the pedos side, of educating minors on safe sexual practices and basic internet safety and letting them masturbate in peace. Will they pick the blue pill or the red pill?

This forum already forbids UK IPs, right?
Will the same happen to Americans when the laws inevitably "catch up"?
Does it already block Australian IPs?

[Outis]

It is dystopian and the latest attack on the neutrality of the Internet.

The Internet is supposed to be a neutral resource that is available to all but there are increasing numbers of rules to censor the Internet and restrict access for whole groups of people, in this case young people. I've had young friends complain that they are getting blocked from Spotity because of explicit lyrics and other forums and services that are not porn related in any way are removing access for young people to play safe.

Dark times.

[Jim Burton]

We may well end up with a situation where residential IPs are third tier, behind proxy servers. If you can afford a VPN or know how to get one for free, you will be allowed to bypass the censorship.

I'm moderately optimistic. I think this will make more people realize that the persecution of MAPs is an excuse to control the entire internet, but that doesn't automatically mean that they will be more understanding towards MAPs.

By the way, it seems like a coordinated and quite aggressive global effort. Maybe they'll even go after VPNs next. Some countries could make their use illegal.
