  If I had to guess, they don’t care at all about porn and are using this as a pretext to censor sites that talk about LGBTQIA+ people.

  And also to block access to any sex ed content that talks about how to protect yourself from predators.

      This pattern is so predictable, The Outlast Trials (2024) was based around it; your character is given trials based around fascist manipulation following this (“protect the children”) among many other patterns.

      You are the shepherd, who would save the poor little lambs from Mother. Deliver them to the warm embrace of the Church, and we will let you out.
