EU parliament accepted a last minute amendment, mandating age verification for pornographic (whatever that is) content online, punishable with up to one year prison sentence.
This was rolled into a directive concerning CSAM. Because adults accessing porn need to be de-anonymised to avoid child exploitation?
No chance we could just… you know… tell the parents to start parenting for once? Like… idk… using the fucking parental controls in the devices they give their children and checking every once in a while what are they doing online?
No chance we could just… you know… tell the parents to start parenting for once?
“Those” parents: “The State can not tell me how to raise my child!”
Two weeks later when the State has not told them how to raise their children:
“Waaah waaah! Raising kids too hard! The State should do it for me!”
Now wait for the expanding of what is considered adult content.
This assault by religious sex obsessed freaks against civil society only stops when we ban orginized religion.
Leave porno alone. Porno is harmless. And shut the fuck up about children. Children don’t deserve all this circus.
List of names? Who made this real? Who is guilty? People deserve to know their enemies.
Carnegie UK, did this in the UK… the same Carnegie that was one of the original “robber barons” of the Industrial Revolution, until the public were so angry about the wealth gap the governments of the time were forced to introduce labour laws and stop their greed. This is sounding familiar…
Anyway 100 years later his companies and “charities” are back to fuck with us again.
No. It shouldn’t be one name. One man can’t do anything like that. There are hundreds of thousands of names.
From the second link (which seems to be the list from the EU Parliament):
Amendment 186 François-Xavier Bellamy, Javier Zarzalejos, Regina Doherty, Laurent Castillo, Axel Voss, Gabriel Mato, Romana Tomc, Massimiliano Salini, Antonio López-Istúriz White, Nicolás Pascual de la Parte, Esteban González Pons, Fulvio Martusciello, Oliver Schenk, Matej Tonin, Loucas Fourlas, Sander Smit, Željana Zovko, Fredis Beleris, Angelika Niebler, Nadine Morano, Isabelle Le Callennec, Christophe Gomart, Ana Miguel Pedro, Raúl de la Hoz Quintano, Salvatore De Meo, Davor Ivo Stier, Isabel Benjumea Benjumea, Ilia Lazarov, Karlo Ressler, Miriam Lexmann, Alma Ezcurra Almansa, Letizia Moratti, Borja Giménez Larraz, Elena Nevado del Campo, Céline Imart, Pablo Arias Echeverría, Jessika Van Leeuwen, Rosa Estaràs Ferragut, Zoltán Tarr, Dolors Montserrat, Elissavet Vozemberg-Vrionidi, Daniel Caspary
These people should be punished.
Well he also died over 100 years ago. But at the very least we should be angry at the Carnegie UK Trust that pushed through this dystopian legislation first.
Porno is not harmless. Current common US-based porno teaches young people that men abusing women is normal behavior (spanking is nearly mandatory, also rough behavior, unsolicited anal sex, even rape-like intercourse, the list is long). That is the start of a lot of problems especially for women - but mostly for society at large.
I don’t know what’s the good solution to this. Regulate porno at the source (only consensual non-violent sex allowed) ? Seems tricky. Age verification isn’t good because adults also can be influenced. Plain prohibition isn’t democratic and never works anyway, and the right kinds of porno may be good for people.
The past situation was bad and the coming one (age verification) won’t solve anything - it’s just an excuse for more police state.
Can’t wait to have to show id on every website, especially ones on which I say what I think about my government (that jails people for that)
Sneaking giant bombshell as a last minute amendment – that sure reminds me of certain authocracy’s legislative practices
