The whole suddenly not allowed to sell porn games, and all these states and countries in acting id laws is just a precursor to censorship and blocking us from organizing against the super rich. They will ban porn but next violent content. But unless we stand up and fight back they will block all annomimity on the web.

Hoping that the pushback will crush these new regulations, this really sucks for creative freedom and consumer choice.
