| I wonder if American citizens from states which requires age verification to access porn (25 US states today) will be fine with it or these states will start demanding ID to access freedom.gov. It would be delicious irony. |

| Or, since it's apparently run by HHS, surely they will protect people looking for resources about abortion, hormones, etc. Real rich material coming from the government demanding it's biggest Internet companies unmask government critics. |

| Previous propaganda channels from the government couldn't legally be broadcast within the US itself, so it's possible they'll try to pull the same thing here. |

| Right. Porn will probably be most of the traffic. The number of people in Europe who really want to access US neo-Nazi sites is probably not large. |

| ▲ | graemep 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | There is a lot more blocked than porn and neo-nazis. This will also allow access to sites that block access because of laws: Imgur is not accessible from the uk, nor are a lot of smaller US news sites. Ofcom are after 4 chan too. | | |

| ▲ | sensanaty an hour ago | parent [-] | | First off, the UK isn't in the EU, and 2nd, not a single website is blocked for me here in the Netherlands, quite literally none. I can access Discord without an ID, I can watch all the porn I want, I can pirate anything I want from anywhere etc. How many states require IDs to go to porn sites, again? How many journos is it now that Trump blacklisted from the White House? Yeah, lotta freedoms over there... |

"Tie me up and tell me what I'm allowed to do daddy government, I will agree no matter what, you know what's best." |
