Senator Admits “Kids Online Safety Act” Will Target Trans Content Online.::The lead sponsor of the “Kids Online Safety Act,” otherwise known as KOSA, has stated over the weekend that it will be used to “protect minor children from the transgender in our culture.”
Before you know it, it will be almost impossible to browse the internet normally without getting a visit from the feds for some bs reason. Guess we’ll all be using the dark net for everything.
Thus driving people to the place where CSAM is.
As it always was. The usenet alt.* address set was actually for Anarchists, Lunatics and Terrorists. The public will respond to internet prohibition the way it responded to alcohol prohibition (or abortion prohibition, or speeding prohibition, etc.) And to get technology to cover our tracks, yes, we’ll be making friends with terrorists, pirates and even collectors of CSAM and less accepted porn. Sellers of state secrets, too.
However, these unsavory elements have way more in common with the regular public than politicians who want to persecute undesirables to further their careers, or law enforcement officers who are eager for any excuse to kill a poor person.
No, that was just a dumb joke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt.*_hierarchy
Curiously, when I learned of it it was a dumb joke that was the actual name of the alt. hierarchy, and I was corrected when I initially assumed it meant alternative.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but there are enough people who believe the joke that I can’t assume it’s just a joke. And Wikipedia used to say differently than it does today.
And/or the invention of the darkernet
Darkernet implies a darkestnet.
Now you’re gettin’ it!
