Hahaha... why? You don't think they wouldn't pass a national ban if they could muster the votes?

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

They would. "States' rights" is bullshit that they start with only when they fail to regulate at the national level. Every time.

Yeah, we have to stop it! Literally pussy, tits and cocks power the Internet use. I wouldn't use it if it was just reading shit.

Why wouldn't they pass that in California? California loves monitoring people. Right now it's mostly with cars (license plate readers, and now digital license plates with tracking built-in), but I really don't see why they wouldn't do this. They're already starting with social media, I would assume porn would come soon after. Yeah, they have something akin to the GDPR, but that's not at odds with tracking people, it's just a nod so people don't notice what they're up to...

Screw California, they don't care about privacy at all.

A system that needs ID verification to access a site is a problem. What if it's used for other websites as well?
