      swear to god I’ll bring rotten.com back and fill it with the nastiest filthiest autopsies I can steal.

      I’ll make these fuckers take me to court and force them to spell it out that they “find autopsies sexually stimulating”, and then I’ll call them sick fucks.

    As with most things of this nature, it’s presented in a way that makes it difficult to argue against, but the evil will come with how it is enforced.

    Basically everyone agrees that harmful content should be harder for children to access, and reigning in social media’s exploitation of psychology is laudable.

    Right now, there isn’t a good way to control access without handing a ton of personal information to a 3rd party agency with questionable oversight. When you want to access pron in meatspace, you share your name and age with the store clerk, who will promptly forget it. The system doesn’t translate to a digital medium with permanent records.

    Haven’t even looked at the bill, but I’m willing to bet my testicles there is some bullshit going on in this bill.
