    Something tells me that if the headline turns out to be true, people will find a workaround.

      This is how you get darknets.

      Ive been thinking of making one for the area I’m at. Looks like a fun project at the very least.

        Yeah I wonder if it could get darknets from the dark nasty garbage dumps they are now into a more mainstream privacy-conscious network. Basically, what they were always meant to be but only the really dark people used it and scared everyone else off.

    The same crap is happening in the EU too. It’s everywhere.

    The “for the children” boomers get their wish. The rest of us lose our privacy. And the kids? Well they’ll just get their smut from torrents. Those sites don’t obey the law because if they did they wouldn’t have existed in the first place. Nothing will actually change there.

    And really, who hasn’t viewed tons of porn when they were young? And turned out totally fine?
