No, I’m saying there are enough methods of so easily breaking through any of these protocols the legislators are even talking about that the idea itself is farcicle.
With sites like onlyfans we are already talking about pay models.
There are whole forums of websites that just download specific onlyfans accounts, to counterpoint your example.
The internet is more complex than what you are suggesting… the battle against (legal of age) porn and weed has been lost.
Face it, we are all human beings who want to have fun smoke weed and have sexy time I guess…
I will say that I am a little concerned about underage folks being groomed possibly online or taken advantage of… but this is a joke to even consider our government is capable of handling this issue, when they are refusing to release the names of the fucking actual pedophiles they have videos and names from the damn Epstein files… right there in front of their faces. And none have been prosecuted
But they wouldn’t even be groomed on the sites you’ve mentioned as far as I know, nor regular porno sites
Of course there are, but I was replying to a comment that said basically well we can just VPN out of Wisconsin and so the sites won't know we're from Wisconsin so they won't enforce Wisconsin's laws! And my response was not so fast, there are sites that see you're from a VPN connection and instead say "oh we don't know where you're connecting from so we're going to collect your ID." That's it.
I'm not suggesting anything technical about the internet. I'm observing what some companies are doing technically with respect to VPN usage. I have speculated, when asked, as to why these companies may be doing what they are.
Agreed.
Right on, I was drinking last night and may just have been being a little contrarian or something, I think we are both basically in agreement. Happy Saturday.
