  This is the plan all along. It’s not about porn, it’s not even about control. It’s about teaching Americans a second language. You know who’s behind this? Duolingo and Big Language.

  I VPN to Montreal servers. Everything is still displayed in English.

  soon we’ll have no states to vpn to

  I’ve yet to see any state legislature take that proposal seriously. Unlike trying to make porn sites take your credit card info in advance (a policy they hated so much gosh darn it!) you’re really fucking with the money when you try and regulate VPNs. Also, just… not really that practical. For the same reason Congress has been pretty toothless when it comes to regulating Torrents and digital encryption, going after VPNs at the regulatory level is something of a technological rabbit hole.

    snekerpimp meant if every state requires ID, then VPN to another state will not get around the ID check.

      Setting aside the fact that there’s no appetite for these laws in liberal states, its purely a conservative fetish, you can still get porn on the internet without going to the big corporate online clearinghouses.

      FFS, there was porn on Napster back in the day.

        There’s no appetite for these laws in the voter public of any state, as far as I can tell given how VPN usage skyrockets in every state where these laws are put in place. Is California no longer liberal? Also consider the people running sites in any of the states that have such a law. They may resort to just blanket ID-checking everyone rather than risk prosecution.

        Napster was audio only. Did you mean limewire, or kazaa, or one of the many napster clones that came after?

  Is there a French version of /c/ich_iel?

    I can only assume it would be something like !moi_evv if it existed.
