    the law isn’t about access to porn it’s about stopping access to lgbtq spaces (and anything else the government doesn’t like)

      If this is true, then this censorship is a terrible tragedy. I still would like government imposed ID age verification for porn though.

        Yes, you probably could make access to those mutually exclusive, but why would they want to when the point IS blocking access to both? They might not say it outright, but there’s a reason they call it TERF Island and it ain’t because they love the LGBT community. This regressive view also goes hand in hand with villifying sex ed in general and it’s easy for them to correlate it without saying the quiet part out loud.

        All this to say I and many, many people don’t trust the government to not abuse this and limit legitimate, lifesaving resources from being found by those that need them most.

        Your intentions are good faith. The reality is that the government rarely does us the same favor nowadays.
