>If Tiktok is banned why not Discord too? Discord is owned by China so stop with these double standards
I agree actually.
>The Internet would be so much better if we banned porn
And this is where they lose me. Has it ever occurred to Rightoids that if porn on the Internet is made illegal then that will just push it towards the darknet?
CSAM is illegal in most countries but this hasn't exactly stopped pedophiles from consuming it and every time a CSAM site on the Tor network gets shut down by the glowies, new CSAM sites take over and the glowies have to start over again in spending millions of dollars just to shut down one illegal website. It's a complex game of Wack-A-Mole where every day pedophiles get smarter and bolder that the glowies have trouble keeping up with CSAM rings anymore because illegal services on the darknet in general are like a Hydra in Greek mythology that's very hard to put down.
I can only imagine the problem will be further amplified if porn featuring consenting adults becomes illegal too and thus forcing the glowies to further thin out their already strained resources that could've been used to tackle much more serious crimes (like pedophiles exploiting children).
>Or making social media require ID verification
Does Kiwi Farms even hear themselves? We've already seen the chilling effects of the UK Online Safety Act where people are being arrested in the UK over political dissidence and edgy memes.
If tomorrow America started to implement the authoritarian practices for the Internet as we see in countries like the UK then Kiwi Farms will eventually cease to exist due to burdensome regulations that would make it even harder to host an edgy free speech site.
This take by Junkpop has aged very poorly.
