This is goofy posturing when those laws aren't about "gooners," but what is accessible to minors. I don't think it's likely a very useful law because it can be circumvented and is liable to just obstruct non-porn things like seen here, but to take this extremely anti-moralizing-moralizing stance as though the claim was that 13-year-olds are being labeled "d-generates" is comically bad faith.

I dont have the hard data but I've been noticing that SWERFy rhetoric has been gradually accepted in like "left leaning spaces" like 5 years ago being a SWERF used to be something to be laughed at but now the word SWERF is barely used anymore. I feel theres some astroturfing going on (like paying someone 5 dollars just to post about the evils of PORN ADDICTION) and a really misguided belief that the best way to prevent sexual harrassment and SA is by making everyone disgusted at everything related to sex. Like personally I am not a huge fan of sex stuff but these people seem to miss that what's ultimately important is CONSENT. Perhaps because I lived in a country that is very prude (Indonesia) I know that mentality ultimately does nothing and if anything arguably made the issues worse.

Anyway in Occupied Korea national ID is essentially required to access the internet it led to great things such as people getting cyberbullied and doxxed through ID leaks. Herr Starmer and Rowling really saw this and thinks that's a good thing.
