Crappy article. They quoted the popup but didn't show it at all. I just wanted to see what it was.
Remember when people on the Internet generally universally agreed that it was bad when the government (or anyone) regulated or censored the Internet?
I want those times back. It isn't any better whether it is because of left wing causes like "misinformation" or "hate speech" or right wing ones like the thing this article is about or "piracy" or "terrorist propaganda".
That was before someone on Twitter's best addition to the conversation was to call me "a caribou diaper baby" ... which while a very creative insult ... is pretty ridiculous conduct.
I agree the government regulating speech is a fine line. We don't need real information being suppressed, but we also need a way (with checks and balances) to shut people that are entirely full of shit (or people that if the Internet was a real establishment would be kicked out for being deranged and unhinged) up.
Thank you for caribou diaper baby, its getting added to the list alongside baby piss goblin and wailing flesh Muppet.
It’s not censored, it’s a warning label you can click past.
Internet porn addiction is a genuinely harmful thing.
See those downvotes? Yes, that's because those times were conditioned by the Internet being a niche thing. You can't expect such adequacy today even here.
That aside, legally fighting "misinformation" is outright obvious censorship, not even trying to pretend to be something else.
I once hoped that if the Internet were more popular, society at large would become more like the Internet.
Hahahahahaha no
"unproven" because it's Texan. Fuck The Verge, Internet porn addiction is as real as those beetles that have sex with beer bottles because they're brown and perfectly glossy like an ideal mate.
Man without the beetle analogy I wasn't going to be sold on your personal and admittedly weird crusade, but now
I wasn't kidding. https://www.thoughtco.com/the-giant-jewel-beetle-1968152
Imagine an alien species bombarded the planet with real-dolls, we basically did that to this species of beetle
