what a fucking surprise. now the teens only watch porn that is already skirting around laws just by virtue of existing. truly nobody could've ever imagined this would happen
jesus christ i'm so tired of stupid politicians
They are not that stupid, they do what they want.
i genuinely cannot see how this improves anything. if they want to keep them kids in the dark about sexual stuff - how is pushing them to be exposed to most likely hardcore bdsm on the front page assuring that?
Making more people criminals. Ayn Rand wasn't a pleasant person and her writing is worse than even mine, but she was entirely correct about this motivation.
Also getting leverage on services that should be checked against regulations. Doesn't matter if they are going to host any porn. The check itself is pressure.
Getting funding.
Creating posts with small power, subordinate to posts with bigger power. It's like bullshit jobs in an authoritarian country, people who are dependent on the regime for their wage and are not very qualified, except it's higher rank.
Making the legislative apparatus busy with that instead of something real.
Stuffing rules harmless taken alone into the law, as a preparation for another time.
