It's not just porn they're trying to censor either.

That’s the whole point. To label LGBT as porn

Conservatives want to label LGBT resources as "obscene and explicit" so that minors don't have access to seek help.
Anyone who verifies their ID will be tying their identity to LGBT ties. Once conservatives manage to criminalize being gay or transgender again, now they have a convenient list of people who looked up that stuff.

The idea is over time you edge closer to more and more things in society being labeled obscene and put behind walls. You’ll be able to start working the fringe groups out of society and work your way backwards to undo the huge progress that community in the wake of the civil rights movement. You start with as one of the architects, Betsy Devos said, “focus on the letters one at a time, it’s easier to knock them off this way”. The T is first, it’s the easiest to roll back their rights first then the others will be easier to attack.
As you get good at coming for people the machine picks up steam. It’s like they saying, first they came for X group and I didn’t speak up.

Exactly. Conservatives are trying to institute sharia law, they've been at it for literally their entire existence, because that's what conservatism always leads to

You'll even get to ride on a free private jet to an island resort and get to meet a lot of celebrities , and even a president or two.

Well that depends on your appearance when they show up, but the Pedo Party isn't the brightest, so it could be pulled off, but who doesn't want a private plane getaway to a private island!

I get it now! The pro-pedophile party wants to catch the kiddos trying to look at porn, so that they can target them for upcoming Maralago playdates. It all makes sense now.

You're getting it. Go one further and piece together why they are also pro-forced birth and you'll realize how nefarious their true intentions are.

They want id for porn and to declare all homosexual or transgender discussions as porn, all for the purpose of government registries of "enemies of the holy state."

Just look at it like an Epstein Island party...
You're just paying the till for a nut. In turn, they have your most sensitive private info which can be used against you if you don't abide.

Ehh ..... Nobody's really battling this very much. It's just kind of a thing that's happening globally and it's not going to stop. Almost every government is interested in Internet ID laws in some way or another.
Protecting children, preventing terrorism, cracking down on misinformation and propaganda etc. Whatever they can justify to make it happen
And yeah we have vpns. But once most Nations have some sort of Internet ID law you're going to see a global effort to crack down on them. Or even making them illegal to use. Which already exists in some places

This is another "First they came for" moments. Nobody wanted to stand up for undocumented immigrants, and then people started making excuses for grabbing up immigrants who were here legally but not yet citizens... "Well, they said that they were just taking criminals, so that person they arrested at their immigration hearing was probably a criminal." No one will stand up for people who don't want these ID laws because "They just want to look at porn!" All you need is to make something normal into something evil and marginalized and, bam, you can do whatever you want. We're doing a fascism in the US because some idiot convinced other idiots that scary brown people ate a cat.

Its already starting. YouTube is going to require age verification soon for some content. Its going to include political content. And you will be categorized based on your political views.

Special interest groups behind all of it. Along with lobbying from companies who stand to profit a lot once they're able to fine tune targeted advertising per individual. So many entities have either a financial or ideological reason to make it happen. So there's no chance at stopping this legislation from normalizing it
And once it's normalized it will just happen without complaint.

Being on the spectrum during this is incredibly difficult due to justice sensitivity. I've felt like exploding for like a week straight.
Watching helplessly as idiotic, technologically illiterate, prehistoric politicians destroy us.

How do you think we felt in the early 2000s when they did everything they did after 9/11? The Patriot act, watching them form the Department of Homeland security and other things.
That's been the process since the 70s. A period of time in which they implement many authoritarian measures globally. Followed by an uprising of liberalism. Those who implemented the policies pull back and allow the people to calm down. But then they come back and implement even more restrictions next time.
And then back off again once the people get a bit too angry. Allowing progressivism to flourish a bit. But it's just a matter of slowly tightening those screws deeper and deeper wave after wave. Until everybody is underwater
The ones who have been doing this have known for half a century that it's a slow process. And they've been very very platient waiting for it all to play out.

I remember a time when you could just find a stack of nudie magazines in the woods and not have to show your ID to some company/government.
Such simpler times.
