They aren't proposing to shut down porn sites, or demonetise them, or even make sure that they aren't hosting CP.
They're going to require online ID to view porn. That's it, that's what we're cheering for; the further normalisation and institutionalisation of porn.
So what is a porn site? Pornhub, no doubt, but this will actually help them by shutting down smaller competitors who can't afford to implement an ID system. We can post pictures to this site, which could be porn, so every site with user-generated content is now a potential porn site and thus requires ID.
That's what this is about. We're not preventing another 9/11, we're not stopping kids being left behind, we're not even protecting them from porn (see Youtube Kids); we're getting rid of the anonymous internet.
And I know "nobody's really anonymous" but from a criminal law standpoint, we are. They can make a really educated guess at who we are, which is enough to rile up a mob or even for a civil action, but for a criminal matter, where they put your in jail for "hate speech", they still need to prove who you are. Digital ID does that.
Don't be useful idiots. If this were actually making the world a better place, the government wouldn't be doing it.
Even the word "censorship" is vague.
