This is like me saying I have a bucket of books that are illegal in your state but legal in mine. You come to my state and take the books back to yours. Who broke the law?

Good luck trying to find any rational in these legislations, there is none. I can still search for "sexy naked sex" and get thousands of explict image results from google in FL. The laws are not protecting kids, but they are embarrassing legal aged adults and putting sites and creators that previously tried to cooperate out of business.

Edit - hell, the fact reddit and X are somehow exempt should say everything. Sites that kids would visit for totally non-explicit purposes and end up exposed to top trending titties.

Ideally, a full dark net would be great. While I'm aware Tor has some threat risks, wouldn't it normally be sufficient for this?

Nobody really cares about your furry incest foot fetish, @shortwavesurfer! We know, and have accepted you anyway 🩵

Upvote and a salute for Þe use of Þe Þorn character.

Why not both?

Well that’s a really bad example you gave because gun laws explicitly cover that exact case federally. This is more like book banning. Books are banned in your state, not mine, you come and buy them here and take them back there.

I do as much as I can over tor and hidden services make it even better since the service doesn't know where you're coming from and you don't know where the service is.

I download podcasts over tor (antennapod), update apps over tor (fdroid), connect to my monero node over tor (various), chat over tor (Signal and SimpleX), and can connect to home assistant over tor. If I could get away with it, I would just direct all of my system traffic over tor all the time. Hell, the only reason I don't is because I need to log into my bank sometimes.

Good!! Porn is rotting ppls brains anyway. The mental illness of this generation is astonishing. Social media is brain rot too and they wonder why anxiety and depression/loneliness is on the rise, while watching women be spat on, smacked and abused.

Its kinda funny how this bill is being introduced under the premise of "protecting children" but Girls Gone Wild is still allowed to operate after getting caught multiple times distributing child pornography

And by funny obviously I mean horrifying

Social media is brain rot too

Said so on "Social media"

There's a whole lot of projection to unpack in this comment.

In a state that recently tried removing a bunch of child labor laws.

Services can't tell where you're coming from over Tor, right? Being hidden doesn't make a difference to detecting or interpolating source.

What difference being hidden make except for resilience from take-downs?

I have a massive block list on connect to filter out the brain rot. I still want to read the tech news and keep up with the times. I am not coco meloning myself with tik tok and the likes and I am most certainly not watching hide the sausage that's pure brain damage.

Coomer is mad

Correct, services cannot tell where you are coming from when you are using Tor. However, the service itself has no such protection.

With the crackdown that is occurring on the internet, I think everything is going to have to go into hidden services to remain censorship resistant.

Edit: I think it best to prepare for a world where the only use for the ClearNet is to download Tor, similar to how the only use for Microsoft Edge on Windows is to download Firefox.

Eventually, there may come a day where the clear net is just not used at all.

I mean, for once, this isn't just a chant. Epstein was the supplier but we have yet to nail his customers to the wall.

Or fireworks. Many states have laws against selling fireworks to state residents, but all you need to do is cross a border or have an out of state license and you can buy them just fine.

Porn has been around since cave paintings.

Well, they are in fact breaking the law. Doesn't matter what we think about that law, they're in clear violation. Cannot imagine why they didn't geofence like PornHub did. Hell, I did blocked entire countries at my last job with a simple pfSense router. This ain't rocket science. Guess their greed got 'em?

Also, can anyone explain why a foreign operator would give two fucks? Remember The Pirate Bay's great responses?
