This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Soon they’ll start recording you jerking it to cross reference with previous sessions as identity confirmation.

At least they owned the liberals, right?

It must be real inconvenient to have to turn on a VPN, it's like a whole button that they have to click, Libs totally owned. Meanwhile the actual weird idiots that voted for this can barely operate a mouse and so they actually do have to suffer the consequences of their own decisions.

well yes it's inconvenient to have to pay to pretend to be in another country to access a website

Why another country? Just pick a neighboring state so you don't get terrible latency.

And Proton VPN is free and is probably fast enough to get the job done. Or there's Tor. You don't necessarily have to pay.

"Verification is carried out by 3rd party". Totally no potential to misuse of collected data.

Why no, they specifically mentioned it being highly secure

I don't care if kids see porn.

If that's the worst thing ever, justifying this invasion of privacy, whoop de shit. Let 'em.

There's a lot worse on the internet. There's a lot worse on daytime television. Blood and guts and cults and informercials. Desirable crude entertainment is obviously not worth locking down the internet. I mean for fuck's sake, at least with "four horsemen" excuses, like terrorism and money laundering, people agree that those things are bad.

It's absolutely reprehensible that you think it's okay for a child to see an infomercial

Lol I saw Lemmings celebrate Australia's Ban of Teenagers from social media, then simultaneously criticize this lol 🤣

(Both are bad, btw)

I think it's uncontroversial to say that porn is bad for children, and I would say that social media is bad for children as well. I think as one matures and becomes an adult both become less bad, less fraught, but the difference between the two of Is that one with one of them you sometimes want to be anonymous, and the other one you almost always want to be anonymous.

I mean I'm against requiring affirmative identity verification online anyway, even as a solution to keeping children away from things that are unhealthy for them. You can't sacrifice the freedom of adults on the altar of protecting children.
