these laws are all about control and tracking what you do online. they make the internet MORE dangerous, because (as with everything the government restricts or bans) there will be a black market, which is always more dangerous and exposes people to more things than they were looking for in the first place. you think dark web providers are gonna make you upload your id to stay compliant? no, they’re gonna continue anonymously operating through TOR and serve up some very questionably sourced content to those teens that are searching “boobs” and can no longer access pornhub

Fuck it, let's get back to something like the way it was.

Anonymous, amateur, just slightly hard to access to keep the mouth breathers out.

being able to use obscure internet forums does not preclude you from being a mouth breather

Well now that sounds a little like the fediverse itself!

I really, really dont want to search for porn on the dark net...

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 14 hours ago

That’s what this is going to become. And that’s another point to this. They can just go after people using the dark net claim it was for kiddie porn even if it wasn't. the masses will just believe them.

There's like a gazillion porn sites on the clearnet though, I can't imagine them being able to track then all

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I am aware of many, I am just saying looking at the dark web is not a good idea because... well... OK we're all adults here. That's where all the CP is and I have no interest in seeing that shit.

That’s a kinda not true tho. There is a fuck ton of cp on the clear web. The only thing I can say, is that Twitter used to have a lot of spam posts with links to cp.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 points 6 hours ago

I actively avoid those. I used to go on the chan forums but after seeing people just posting random attachments and someone saying 'get that kiddie shit out of here' before it stayed up for a while I turned tail and ran from those and never looked back.

There is so much of it on the internet in general that you can’t really do much about it. On top of the fact it is still all over torrent websites as well.

If a government agency cant find them, they will be very difficult for average users to find as well
