You realize this is being used to force ID for internet use right?
I see how it could be a slippery slope. But porn is not the whole internet. And it can be viewed on social media sites that won't be banned.
I guess we'll see if you are correct. But I support the notion to protect children.
It will be expanded to everywhere porn could potentially be seen so any site that allows user generated content, meaning anywhere people can communicate. This does nothing to protect children and that is the same argument used to attack the second amendment.
Explain how someone is being forced to use an ID to use the internet.
It will be expanded to every site where porn might be posted meaning any site that allows user generated content even if forbidden in the TOS and also establishes precedent that we have no right to anonymity. This means that soon it will be impossible to communicate without submitting ID.
It mostly already is.
Let’s be serious, handshake, probably 80-95% of people on the internet, if not more, used an ID to get there, and most of those have it tied to their telephone number.
Yeah but we don't have to give the sites we use that information directly.
