This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
Whenever someone says, "who cares, proton VPN is free," I get a bit sadder. If Proton ever drops the free tier, honestly? I'll understand. Because God knows, seeing people who can't be fucked to give a damn about open access to information using costly infrastructure to watch their shitty porn, I might've just cut it already.
The whole porn ban thing is probably my all-time favorite example of conservatives voting against themselves.
Meanwhile, in California, I can watch all the porn I want without registering myself in a database and walk down the street to the weed store. And the women in my life still have rights over their own bodies.
So I guess Democrats are actually the party of freedom.
B- b- but, California b-b-bad! 🥺 Don't you see how oppressed you are? You're really oppressed out there. 🥺
California is bad for voting to keep prison slavery and refusing to solve the housing crisis with a council housing system much like the UK used to have.
who would've guessed
Time for fediverse pron
We have lemmynsfw
Me: This is America.
Pornhub: This content is not available in your state due to ID verification legislation.
My VPN: This is Germany.
My favorite small example of this is trying to watch a video on YouTube. If my VPN is set to United States then im told 'You can't watch this unless you log in.'
I switch to Germany and like magic the video plays. So clearly they didn't need to confirm I wasn't a bot. They just wanted to track my viewing habits.
What ?
you need to login to watch youtube in US ?
Didn't knew that
Americans now need a wanking license.
Idaho is starting a registry for at-risk men with erections, to prevent impure thoughts. You need to send a picture of your dick, where it will be validated by an evangelical priest.
OI OI OI!

Fortunately, this is easy to work around, just get a VPN hosted in a didn't different state or country.
We have something similar here in Utah, so I have a WiFi network that is always connected to a VPN in a neighboring state. If something isn't accessible, I just swap WiFi networks and I'm good.
So what who cares. VPNs cost money and this is a question of basic freedom.
Honestly, these laws are just gonna hurt old men in Republican states. Like, I grew up with piracy, torrents, and old school forums. These educated me on computers enough that I made a career out of it. And most of that computer knowledge was gained because I wanted to see big tittied women sit on each other's faces. These laws don't stop horny teens from accessing porn. It just makes them better at it.
And this is definitely not one of the cases of "oh it'll reduce numbers overall though". No the fuck it won't. It's porn. They're gonna access it. Literally every YouTuber they watch is sponsored by a VPN.
The only healthy thing to do is actually talking to your kids about porn. Educating them on its potential harms. But Republicans don't ever want to talk to their kids. Ironically, these "drain the swamp" people just want daddy government to "prevent" their kids from accessing it. Which these laws don't do.
These laws don’t stop horny teens from accessing porn. It just makes them better at it.
Exactly. And it punishes the responsible sites that follow the law and drives people to the sketchier sites that don't.
If you want more viruses and identity theft, I guess this is a good law for you.
Honestly, these laws are just gonna hurt old men in Republican states.
You know I think a lot more of their politics and general life outlook makes more sense when you understand that probably a lot of these super old guys are not computer literate enough to look up their niche fetishistic porn interests, and are probably still consuming porn the old fashioned way, which is becoming increasingly nonexistent even though it's still something that actually exists. Plus the propagation of morally puritanical values means that if they kept any of that material around at all, they'd be hypocrites, so they can't have that. Probably a lot of these dudes are walking around super pent up and sexually frustrated, I'd bet.
We need to introduce local community college and library courses to teach these elderly boomers how to goon
This is pretense to intrude on other things and more importantly remove the ability to browse pornography anonymously, which is dangerous. I would never use an account to browse a porn site because why would I ever want that data linked back to me? Look at the government right now. You watch a gay or trans porn video and in a few years that could be grounds for never being able to have certain types of jobs or worse, being deemed a “miscreant”
If this was truly about protecting children they would encourage open dialogue on sex in homes and increase inclusive sex education. This is evidence based. It would still be necessary even with this nonsense because obviously vpns exist, as well as amateur run sites, sites run from outside of the USA, torrents, etc that don’t give a shit about us laws requiring age verification and will show all kinds of obscenely hardcore videos
That's what you voted for. You want republican rule taking away your freedoms. Well now you Floridains have what you wanted and voted for. Don't be mad you made your bed and dont like the sheets.
Given how close most elections are and the low turnout, I would say at least 40% of voters and 50% of the population didn't vote for this without even having to look at the election results.

Guilty Canadian Admission:
In my teens I lived in Brockville Ontario near Ogdensburg New York and watched a lot of US channels. The Star Spangled Banner came on at the beginning of the broadcast day for some channels.
For many years, I thought the first line was "Jose can you see"
When I was a kid I thought the "for which it stands" in the national anthem was in reference to a country called "witchistan", which was presumably full of witches.
Soon they’ll start recording you jerking it to cross reference with previous sessions as identity confirmation.
"Verification is carried out by 3rd party". Totally no potential to misuse of collected data.
I don't care if kids see porn.
If that's the worst thing ever, justifying this invasion of privacy, whoop de shit. Let 'em.
There's a lot worse on the internet. There's a lot worse on daytime television. Blood and guts and cults and informercials. Desirable crude entertainment is obviously not worth locking down the internet. I mean for fuck's sake, at least with "four horsemen" excuses, like terrorism and money laundering, people agree that those things are bad.
It's absolutely reprehensible that you think it's okay for a child to see an infomercial
People with humiliation fetishes are gonna love this shit.
Will porn be the straw that broke the mountain's back?
Prohibition but worse
