The “trustworthy” porn companies are unwilling to serve to regions that require them to store government IDs.
Source: All the good porn sites blocked my state.
Because that’s like them having to become HIPAA compliant. The amount of work with the potential of breaches and lawsuits isn’t worth it by any means.
Also, I can’t recommend Mullvaad enough as a VPN. I’m on the east coast of the US and can exceed 1gbps down with a connection in Sweden, or max out my bandwidth on servers closer to me.
Mullvaad
Or Mozilla VPN if you want to use the same tech and also support our friends at Mozilla.
That’s true, Mozilla VPN is mostly just a wrapper around mullvaad, so basically giving mullvaad their standard vpn rate and Mozilla another 5 dollars
My hot take was “the notoriously hackable companies are now trusted to not get hacked”
I’m not worried about pornhub/redtube/xhamster/xvideos/chaturbate/only fans leaking info but more someone hacking in. There’s a potential goldmine of blackmail/sextortion material from seeing what fetishes someone has.
Even if they do need to authenticate some digitalid, there’s no need to store it and there’s no reason for it to link to an individual person.
This is a very dangerous idea as is.
And this won’t even stop kids from finding porn. I think it is based on good intentions but they are too proud to say “yeha, maybe this has more cons than pros”
It’s obviously not based on good intentions… how can you be this naïve? If a conservative says “but think of the children”, you know fully well whatever they’re proposing is not for the wellbeing of children.
When a conservative says “think of the children”, what they mean is “think of the queer kids that will be outed to their parents and sent to conversion therapy”.
Also porn history is a really good clue to figuring out someone’s sexuality and gender identity. And useful to conservatives for demonizing queer people as sexual deviants. I 100% believe this is an indirect way of harming queer people by outing them and their sexual interests.
Damn it! I come to Lemmy to laugh at US politicians saying stupid things! If the CPC win the election I fear c/memes is going to have more Canadian Content.
that this is not enough of a dipshit statement to exclude him from everybody’s good books is… like, what’s the point
if you cannot plainly see that this is the most retarded suggestion it is possible to make under capitalism, it can only be because you have paid attention to no world event since like 1750
the plastics recycling lie (it’s just been shown that plastics recycling does not work, can not work, and that the oil companies have known this, lied about it, and then made money selling additional recycling-related products since like the 70s) is so recent and yet still walks out there, with his bare face hanging out, and says this shit
I’ve never heard that plastic recycling straight up doesnt work but it sounds like something the oil companies would do. Do you have a link to a documentary or something about that matter?
Basically it costs too much to recycle most plastic. It’s just so much cheaper to sell it to impoverished countries that will either burn it or dump it somewhere.
Maybe if we could solve for plasma arc gasification plants to turn garbage into clean energy. But not presently
This is just one article but
John Oliver did a bit on it 2021
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Small government, right CPC?
To be clear: climate change requires individual responsibility. Keeping your kids off legitimate online pornography websites is too big for citizens to handle on their own and requires government intervention.
Well yeah, one of them involves standing up to corpos and the other one would require actually talking to your kids, and conservatives are nothing if not cowardly, so
Remember: to conservatives, private companies can do nothing wrong.
And here I was thinking banning flipper zeros was the top of our government stupidity

So much for once bitten, twice shy…
This is interesting. This incident resulted in the Video Privacy Protection Act. I wonder if you could apply this to streaming providers who sell your watch history to advertisers.
Meh, I’ll vote for the conservatives still. Housing and food prices are still too high and the liberals have been incompetent for the last 8 years.
Nevermind the infringement on human rights and the conservatives’ historical tendency to cater to corporate interests. Affordable housing wasn’t a priority under Harper either.
Whether you’re a troll (it’s 2024, grow up) or someone whose brain is literal mush, do the world a favor and cut your internet access…
Conservatives, famous for reining in the profiteering of corporations, banks, and landlords.
Granted you are correct about the liberals sucking insane ass. But I don’t think the solution is to once more flip back to conservative and then repeat this exact same thing but reversed in a decade. Both the cons and the libs have shown very clearly over the past decades thar they can’t govern properly.
