      You know damn well not all Floridians voted for this shit. This is the same kind of out-group bullshit red hat shit bags do. You’re just being intentionally divisive.

          Most people assume politicians don’t lie. I know it’s absurd to think about but even people of middling intelligence still deserve rights.

          So all Americans deserve the bullshit?

          Edit: I knew commenting was going to ruin my morning. You guys act like compassion is part of your moral code but when the “right” people are getting hurt you cheer it. It’s grossly hypocritical. This is people having their rights trampled on and you look down your nose at them telling them they deserve it.

            You have my sympathy, but not my compassion.

            My compassion ran out when America continued to embrace - even celebrate - right wing rule

              Yea that’s fair. We are an embarrassment to the world right now but for us to fix it we need to be working together instead of carving ourselves up into more little tribes.

    Guilty Canadian Admission:

    In my teens I lived in Brockville Ontario near Ogdensburg New York and watched a lot of US channels. The Star Spangled Banner came on at the beginning of the broadcast day for some channels.

    For many years, I thought the first line was “Jose can you see”

        They’ll ultimately just have to cut off the US Internet from the rest of the world, right? As long as we can access other countries with more freedom, we can enjoy that level of freedom on the Internet. Or am I not understanding how the Internet works (entirely possible)?

      It must be real inconvenient to have to turn on a VPN, it’s like a whole button that they have to click, Libs totally owned. Meanwhile the actual weird idiots that voted for this can barely operate a mouse and so they actually do have to suffer the consequences of their own decisions.

          Then there’s “normal” websites that use cloudflare and blocks vpn access for no good reason (looking at you Home Depot and Lowe’s), or worse yet, they redirect you to a country-specific website based on the ip location.

    This is pretense to intrude on other things and more importantly remove the ability to browse pornography anonymously, which is dangerous. I would never use an account to browse a porn site because why would I ever want that data linked back to me? Look at the government right now. You watch a gay or trans porn video and in a few years that could be grounds for never being able to have certain types of jobs or worse, being deemed a “miscreant”

    If this was truly about protecting children they would encourage open dialogue on sex in homes and increase inclusive sex education. This is evidence based. It would still be necessary even with this nonsense because obviously vpns exist, as well as amateur run sites, sites run from outside of the USA, torrents, etc that don’t give a shit about us laws requiring age verification and will show all kinds of obscenely hardcore videos

    “Verification is carried out by 3rd party”. Totally no potential to misuse of collected data.

      Well at least it’s not going to the federal government so it should be somewhat safe

        The third party has a very secure agreement to very securely sell data to 572 advertising partners and that is very securely being bought by the FBI.

        Not that outlandish, since the FBI and the US police already buys advertising data streams to get access to data they are prohibited to collect directly.

        It’s so bad there are already middlemen who buy data and compile it into products for law enforcement.

          You forgot to mention that of course 253 of the 572 advertising partners consider their use to be a ‘legitimate interest’ under privacy legislation despite being nothing even close.

        If it was last administration I’d say it’s just slightly annoying that our day was going to the federal government. But it’s admin…maybe not
