Comment on Utah tells porn sites to take the P out of VPNs, and it's their fault that they can't

Realistically…. How many kids (under 18 in the US) are using vpns for porn? Like this is definitely just another ‘think of the children!’ Deflection to pass horrible spy policy.

I think in the case of Utah it’s something beyond just wanting to spy on people. I think the LDS(Mormon) church legitimately wants to stamp out porn all together among it’s members. The first step to that is of course, getting a comprehensive list of everyone viewing porn, via ID collection. Then hand that list over to the LDS church, who can name and shame members they find on it.
Now, they probably will not be able do this everywhere, but, in Utah, it is absolutely with in their power given how much power it has over the state government.

Eh, I remember kids using proxy sites to get around school internet filters when I was 14. And now that virtually every Youtuber has a VPN sponsorship, I think that 14-18 range of kids definitely has a sizable chunk who knows what a VPN is and what they could use it for…

I don’t understand. You can just google “porn” and go down the results until a site doesn’t immediately bombard you with an ID verification system. How hard is it? There’s an entire fucking world of servers under varying legislation to check. Meanwhile Utah makes up 0.000000000001% of that structure. Utah is in lala land.
