  The same crap is happening in the EU too. It’s everywhere.

  The “for the children” boomers get their wish. The rest of us lose our privacy. And the kids? Well they’ll just get their smut from torrents. Nothing will actually change there.

    This is how you get darknets.

    Ice been thinking of making one for the area I'm at. Looks like a fun project at the very least.

      Yeah I wonder if it could get darknets from the dark nasty garbage dumps they are now into a more mainstream privacy-conscious network. Basically, what they were always meant to be but only the really dark people used it and scared everyone else off.

  I can forsee the number of muggings going up, as criminals look to use people’s IDs to bypass censorship.
