    Good thing meth stopped being a thing after they locked real cold medicine up in the pharmacy and you have to show I.d.

    It’s like nobody in power remembers…

    And you’d think they would, since they’re old enough to have been there!

    Guess it must be the dementia.

    What exactly are the data hoarders going to be doing? The material will still be readily available on the internet.

      Ah, so we have a happily willing participant! Just fill out this form with your name, dob, ssn, address, fingerprint of all 10 plus your penis and/or clitoris, salava and sperm sample (if possible), banking details for our constant analysis and records, and send it via registered mail to Do You Fucking Get It Yet, 1 Washington Is Fucking You Road, Washington DC.

      Imagine filling out an application with this sort of shit, just to buy beer or bang a prostitute. But nooooooo, it’s fine! This is different! We are protecting the children! We are just keeping people safe! The next step is to ban porn as a whole, just like prohibition. Fuck off with your bullshit. I have - checking my notes here - 63GB of my own personal library, and that’s rather small I’d say, only been collecting high quality content for about 21 years. Someone somewhere has TB in their collection, and the smart ones will be relaxing in bliss while everyone else is blue-balled and nutting to the lady on a can of soup.

        What are you talking about? The material will be available because it isn’t hosted in the USA, not because I’m going to provide my id. Pirated stuff was already illegal but that didn’t stop pirates.

        Also I store over a terabyte of obscure stuff I like (but I don’t share it online).

      Ensuring data availability, of course.

      I do have concerns how the incoming fascists “administration” in the US will handle encryption, VPNs, etc, and what that will entail for privacy and acquisition of certain types of data. I’m confident the internet will always find a way, but it’ll definitely be interesting to see what happens in the coming years. I’ve been on a download spree as if late because I’ll be damned if media corps have free range to bleed us dry to listen to music and watch movies, nevermind what conservatives will try to censor next.

        If the US outlaws VPNs I will genuinely, honestly and truthfully sell all of my personal belongings except my 16tb hard drive full of personal photos and 🏴‍☠️, and move out of the country. My right to privacy is (one of many places where) I draw the line.
