The “Zionist Knesset’s” vote on a bill allowing the closure of foreign media outlets “poses a threat to press freedom and aims to block the world from seeing the enemy’s crimes.”

Izzat al-Rishq, member of Hamas’ political bureau and head of its media office, said the law—allowing...

Now, it's hard to campaign on "The US government should seize millions of foreign domains and build a Great Firewall."

But passing bills that are doomed to fail gives you years to rile up a societal panic. When the laws don't work, you blame porn again. At which point, maybe people are ready.
SCHWEPPE: Age Verification is a "Good First Step" - The Iowa Standard
Earlier this week, I testified in Missouri on behalf of HB1993, a bill that would require age verification for porn websites to prevent minors from accessing pornographic material. Eight of these age ...

I'll give you a US example:.

The main age-verification lobbyist — a man who largely believes porn should be outlawed — admitted the state-level bills he pushed for won't work and were really a predicate for federal action.

He wants the DOJ to seize domains.

Politically it's easier to pass the less onerous restrictions, the ones that just seem like common sense — "like flashing your ID at a liquor store!" The government builds a moral panic, then promises its easily solvable.

That panic, once taken hold, now provides cover for bolder restrictions.

Tighter government control of the internet is, of course, the natural outgrowth of initial failed attempts to control the internet.

In fact, in some cases, that initial failure is entirely expected and built into the plan. In the US, AV advocates said early on they knew initial bans wouldn't work.

there is only one flag these feckless imbeciles love more than their own, and thats the one that pays them the most - the flag of the genocidal, fascist, apartheid occupation.

anyone who expresses such "devoted" love for *them* should be tried for treason!

Exactly… which is why only people who have Some grasp of what “LLM” even stands for or what any of it means should be making policy decisions around such things.

It’s terrifying to think that there is people in government who are making choice that won’t affect them because they’ll be dead by then.

Anyone who doesn’t understand basic CURRENT social mechanics and especially how current technology works Personally - shouldn’t be anywhere near a position of power. Making policy decisions based old n putrid Vibes is Reckless and destructive to all progress.

How very on-brand.

As someone who was laughed at by the Whanganui police in the early 00s when I was gay-bashed in the cbd by a trio of bigots - I hate them All.

Never met a cop who wasn’t a PDFile, transphobe, homophobe or a murdeous psychopath.

I’m so sick of Rancid old people ruining the lives of everyone 20-30-40-50 years younger than them.

Age limit, and max terms of 10-15 years. Poison shouldn’t be allowed to fester.
