He'll just cash out and let it burn. He got what he wanted out of it.

It's odd that you would say that, after admitting multiple times that we're already living in a dictatorship.
there is an amazing level of difference between criminal accountability, which he needs to be held to, and civil liability which is what i was talking about here.
More to the point, it was a hyperbolic statement showing the absurdity of removing this particular rule especially as it can have such potential damage to the Melon Felon.

Arizona is! Bill 2112 is back for another round of attempts at censorship 'age verification' requirements. The governor vetoed it last time, here's hoping.

It passed and was signed this time, as of yesterday. KOSA is back on the docket federally, too.

On the other hand, all those annoying cookie warning popups may be going away:

No they're not. Part of the reason those popups are everywhere is that California put a similar policy in place a couple years later, and I don't see them following this new change as it would effectively put half of Silicon Valley out of business.

Sure did. 'cause why expect parents to teach and monitor their kids when we can threaten censor blame companies, sites, or individuals that Certain People decide are Objectionable.

Again, what does anyone shilling this stuff actually hope to get out of it? What benefit could eradicating "adult material" actually have? What good does censoring the most random stuff on the internet get anyone? So far all I can come up with is it's "infinite money for me forever" (somehow) and/or "we control the horizontal and the vertical, we own you now". It's practically cartoon villainy at this point.

(Yes, slightly rhetorical. I know the actual answer is "destroy anyone that disagrees with me and my views".)

No politician that's loud about "protect the children" actually gives a damn about real children. It's just the best lever they have to make anyone opposing them look bad. (Hint: if you actually cared about real kids, politicos, you wouldn't be using your other hand to gut health care, education, and social services.)

And of course anyone spouting this BS won't be affected by it, remember consequences are for normals...

Their goal is to get anyone and anything not-straight labeled as "adult material."

The ultimate goal is to make it illegal for LGBTQ+ people to exist.

Hence the rhetorical, yes. And my reactions to this crap still make me feel stupid, because I keep trying to apply logic to their bigotry (which is impossible).

And to dictate standards for female dress and force them back to the 50s and earlier.
But, yes, mostly to declare all LGBTQ+ people as illegal
