this would destroy cyber security in-general, and essentially all companies along with it.

How would this work?

Corporate VPNs would be allowed presumably.

doesn't look like its written that way

[–] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Eh you made me read it now. It's not super clearly written but it does sound to me like it is only services that are designed to circumvent the moralising that are prohibited. It's a little ambiguous though.

The more interesting thing I learned from reading it is that it isn't just about banning porn. It's also about banning the depiction of trans people - even descriptions! Insane. Come on America.

yeah, I mean the whole point is to be able to control people. 'Design' and 'adult content' have nothing to do with it.

"designed to" is in the text of the law. But it's not clearly written.
