i feel like he’s making a good point but in a really disconnected way. governments that restrict or outlaw “vices” or particular behaviors do not eliminate those behaviors- they only get rid of the safest ways to engage in them. people will always find a way to watch porn. people will always find a way to get an abortion. but instead of pornhub it’ll be a classmate’s nudes, instead of mifepristone it’ll be a coat hanger.

So true! It’s so bad how the evil right forces new terms to refer to people that have to be accepted or it’s a hate crime. That they promote that the whites are inherently evil. That they remove people from their jobs and ruin their life for calling someone the wrong gender!! There’s no good side. Politics is a joke, both sides want to control the people.

This dude is mentally stuck in 1992. He can’t conceive of politics beyond having the ability to engage in vice, and he projects that onto us. He’s an eternal teenager, gnawing on the hand that feeds him while we go hungry. He couldn’t possibly understand what’s at stake. It was men like him that happily threw away the nation their grandfathers fought for in exchange for sex, drugs, and rock & roll.

Banning porn? They’re just putting age restrictions on it. Is that a problem for you?

honestly yeah, it is a problem for me. why should our government IDs be on file with sites that commonly get hacked? its a moral problem fs but this “solution” is a major privacy concern

I don’t think the effect of regulation is negligible. It acts as an incentive to ward off violations, albeit an imperfect one, but an incentive nonetheless.

I can understand this concern, and I think a more granular approach to digital ID is necessary. After some brainstorming: If you have the ID info, including a simple boolean (true/false) that stores whether the person is of age, encrypted (RSA encryption, same security as your banking details) and stored on the device itself, you could give certain sites/apps temporary access to the value of that boolean without reading the rest of the ID info.

There would still likely be ways to circumvent this using other operating systems like Linux, but you could probably get Apple and Microsoft to implement this kind of feature.

That way, neither hackers nor the site owners could ever get access to anyone’s IDs, and there aren’t any new privacy boundaries being crossed since plenty of people are already comfortable storing their banking details on their devices with tools like Apple Pay or Venmo.

State identification to browse the internet? You’re fine with that? Sure, first it’s porn, then it’s YouTube, and then it’s every time you search up a banned book. And the state knows. You trust the government that much?

side tangent buttttt book banning is such a bigger problem than we think it is too. im in Missouri and its a felony here to be a school librarian and distribute “pornographic” or sexual literature to minors. that law, however, never specifies what that exactly means, and there’s serious potential it could be weaponized against queer and even health-related literature.

i worked with a detention literacy nonprofit and its a constant struggle trying to get informed content to juveniles and support literacy in that already restricted environment, so facilities are not open to any content that could land them in legal trouble at all.

It would store the boolean token, which is literally a single bit of information (either 0 or 1 depending on if you’re of age) in the device’s secure enclave and route all access through an encrypted network the same way you voluntarily give location data to doordash or your credit card number to Amazon. No actual identifying information would ever be transmitted from your device. What part of this do you not understand?

The part where you think the government isn’t interested in identifying you. You’re under some delusion that we “threw away” the country for vices that have always existed. The video OP is right, the goal is to control you, and your sick idea about internet security won’t ever be used. Obscenity laws are a cover to control the information you consume, and using a State ID to access “obscene” materials put you on a list.

Ok now you’re just resorting to tired libertarian platitudes instead of addressing my actual argument. My “sick” idea about internet security is ALREADY in use by companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft with their payment processing software. I’ve studied network architecture and cryptography, this is a perfectly secure and reliable solution that does not violate a single new privacy boundary in any way, shape or form.

So unless you plan to stage a boycott against online banking, you should pack up your empty grievances and find some actual oppression to fight against.
