    I miss the internet being a wild west.

    It certainly had its downsides, but it felt a lot better than the nonsense that’s been happening over the past decade+.

      It’s the same as fighting against “fake news” which just creates a false trust that everything on the internet is truth. Which is the opposite of what one should believe.

      Star Trek, Star Wars, Lego, PORN!

    1. Add censorship for mods containing adult (sexual) content.

    2. Slowly move the bar so that more content falls under definition of “adult” (themes of violence, LGBTQ+ themes).

    3. Continue to move the bar until desired level of censorship is obtained.

    Well done, you’ve used moral panic to control your media.

    Dark futures aside, why do I think that folks are just going to VPN their way in?

    I was preparing my verbal pitchforks, but it seems they have chosen a middle ground. they will only require verification for adult content, and only in the EU and UK.

    which means that if you don’t need adult content or you can use a VPN, then it seems it won’t affect you. so they are probably doing the bare minimum required by law
