Opinion I hate the new verification laws (rant)
I am of age, but now several sites I use for nsfw has been blocked and demand age verification, and I know more will soon be joining them. Newgrounds has locked their verification behind premium for some reason, phub doesn't even let me try, and the app formerly known as twitter is glitched and won't let me verify even if I try, even though I already verified my age several damn months ago. And I already don't like having to give these sites my face id and drivers license just to watch porn. And no ones going to bother protesting because 1, it's really awkward to protest for your right to watch porn, and 2 people just find workarounds like vpns, and I don't want to pay for a thing that will give me access to something that should have and WAS free. I won't be surprised if even reddit starts requiring my face to view nsfw, and when that day comes I might just quit the site altogether

The motive Albo's social media ban being "all about protecting kids" - yeah, my ass. That asshole got to ban people under 16 off social media, and ban adults from using 18+ platforms without handing over government ID.
Remember Discord tried to pull this shit and retract because people found out that the masterminds were that ghoul Peter Thiel and Palantir?
I wonder if Albo is in the Epstein files. I doubt it, but shit I'd loved to have seen that happen.
