  well it's already happening. look what recently happened in Mississippi with age verification.

  protip if you're American and you ask "how long until America has such and such" chances are, 9 times out of 10, it's already happening or has happened and you're just not aware.

    The states are the future of Federal law. And all things considered, yeah.

    We have the OSA here in the UK which requires age verification. I connected to a VPN server in America and got age gated because the server was in Texas. So much for “land of the free”.

  I do tech support on a global company, and some customers have started to demand their cases not to be readable for our usa based colleagues, nor the shared info hosted on usa clouds. So that wall is somewhat already there.

    Canadian here. Most of our data is stored by American companies, even if they’re physically located in Canada. And as Microsoft recently admitted, American law supercedes our data and privacy rights. So effectively the US has ownership of our government, education, and health records.

    Understandable. I kinda wish the UK would copy the EU’s move for digital sovereignty and invest in FOSS/Self Hosted shit but the OSA has kinda made me a bit worried about that. You could get it past the Flag Shaggers easy though.

  No firewall, you’ll just have to log into the Internet via a federal ID and speeds will be cut in half because every packet gets copied to a government server for evidence against you-- I mean, to protect the children.
