Why the UK is going on the anti porn crusade?

    Sees dissent on the internet.

    1. Mandatory opt-out ISP porn filter
    2. Age verification for porn, also covering every other site with any adult discussion.
    3. Crackdown on “Icky” niches, to build consensus for
    4. VPN ban

    And now dissent on the internet can be prosecuted.

    All the age verification stuff is just the excuse to de-anonymize your online accounts, all without needing to get a warrant and go through an ISP for the IP, etc. so they can easily identify an individual directly whenever you say something online. And if you use the same username everywhere, they only need to identify one to know who you are with 99% certainty.

    It has nothing to do with age or porn, that's just the easy excuse.

    They're on a downward spiral to conservatism again. Last week in the comments of a youtube channel (big Clive) I like I saw some comments saying something like "you should do a colab with the black belt barrister". Always looking for new stuff, I checked it out. One of the first videos I saw was titled "This nonsense needs to stop", while the text in the thumbnail read "Labour's attack on girls' rights". It was the "transgender teens shouldn't be in girls sports" trope, complete with everyone in the comments cheering him on. And while this is only one channel, the fact that multiple people seem to recommend it in a channel I'm following says a lot to me. The anti porn crusade fits right in, just keep people mad about stuff that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, have them vote right and steal everything.
