This was rolled into a directive concerning CSAM. Because adults accessing porn need to be de-anonymised to avoid child exploitation?

Carnegie UK, did this in the UK… the same Carnegie that was one of the original “robber barons” of the Industrial Revolution, until the public were so angry about the wealth gap the governments of the time were forced to introduce labour laws and stop their greed. This is sounding familiar…

Anyway 100 years later his companies and “charities” are back to fuck with us again.
