Yup. People forget that the internet is adult by default. A child cannot buy an internet connection.

The "protect the children" crowd, while they think they mean well, are fucking clowns. Let's start with actually protecting them, you know what the biggest killer of children is? Cars. Let's ban them first, shall we?

We should never have to show ID to use the internet, it's crazy dystopian, giving governments and corporations more and more control of our lives.

Cars. Let's ban them first, shall we?

We need walkable cities and ample public transit first.

Not disagreeing though. It'd be great to transition back to them in the US

Yeah, obviously we shouldn't ban them, just like we shouldn't be requiring ID to visit websites or whatever.
