here's what will happen.
- u16 ban passes, platforms must verify all ages
- kids use VPNs, government bans VPNs
- age verification infrastructure already exists, its scope gets broader, more invasive, more extreme
- Online Safety Act forces backdoors into encrypted messaging, E2E encryption dies, gov can read everything you ever send
- CBDC rolls out, your internet passport and financial passport become the same document
- anonymous accounts posting "wrongthink" are now identifiable + prosecutable
- the generation that grows up with this doesn't remember it being any other way
- George Orwell was right about everything
- it's over
Countries that ban or restrict VPN services:
Belarus, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Turkmenistan
China, Russia, Egypt, India, Myanmar, Oman
United Kingdom?
United States?
France?
The list used to be easy to explain.
@joakial_@Mr__Comics If you can’t say no to that as a parent, you shouldn’t be a fucking parent in the first place. Quit putting kids on your poster as an excuse to force censorship.
