Those are class 1.111B domains. I actually buy them a little cheaper, but have to do it one year at a time. It’s only 6-9 digits though, not any string of digits

Cloudflare sells domains at cost

There’s no way there is a connection between the person asking the question and the shooter. It was a debate with Charlie Kirk. Of course gun violence is going to come up. Especially since it started by asking about gun violence involving trans people.

It was recently increased to $15 USD. Though the Plucky Squire actually looks like a solid game published by Deveolver Digital. Looks like it has gone on sale for $15 before, so it’d basically be like buying that game. And you get Grapple Dog thrown in

Tribalism is literally human nature, though. People have a natural tendency to have a group they consider their own, and those outside of that group. It absolutely is human nature, and has been for thousands of years.

product of a society that demands conformity, hierarchy, and defines community through exclusion

Have you ever thought that maybe those happened because of human nature, and not the other way around?

The files are pre-internet encrypted. Shouldn’t matter who gets the backup file

I mean, I just use the scheduled backups and back it up to a locally hosted server. Though the scheduled backups just go to a folder on my phone

We’re basically at least 50 different countries. It depends on which sub-country you’re in to know how strict the regulations are. However, what is illegal on paper is very different from what is often enforced.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

That’s awful for so many reasons. How are business/products expected to be held accountable? Obviously when you let free reign of negative reviews, you’re going to get some nonsensical ones or absurd ones, but people filter those out most of the time anyway. If you prevent (or there’s even a threat) for negative reviews, you’re just letting shitty companies and products get away with being shitty. It’s a loss for both consumers and the country wanting to have good businesses, though a win for shitty companies.

It’s going to have exactly the same efficiency: none

It’s objectively wrong to say the regulations had no efficiency. They absolutely made it more difficult gain access to. Kids should not be a single google search away from accessing hardcore porn. Will they be able to access it still? Of course. But they’ll likely be older, and learn to be more tech savvy to get around the block.

“Child’s protection”, “anti-terrorist”, “against pedophile” so many emotionally triggering words so that we slowly accept more and more control.

I do not want to be associated with right wing Conservatives because I kind of agree on a single topic. The only part I mentioned was child development, which research has shown to have a negative impact (just like we did with cigarettes and alcohol). The hardcore Conservatives seem to want to take it away from everyone, adults included, but I don’t give a shit what adults do.

I don’t acknowledge vaporware.

I am not asking you to. I am saying that it should be implemented this way. That’s it. I am advocating for secure and private age restriction on internet pornography witb true zero trust implementation. The more people that advocate for it, the less likely it will be vaporware. Research is already being conducted on this exact thing, it absolutely can happen. If it’s going to happen at all, this is how it needs to.

Right now, yes. But this is all still very new. There was a point in time where all internet traffic was HTTP. Would you have called me stupid for suggesting internet traffic would be encrypted in the future? My point is research is being done, and it can be done securely. If it can be done securely, it seems most arguments against it would no longer be applicable. There would still be the issue of convenience, but this whole 1984 idea would not apply here. There are so many other area’s that are more concerning as far as ideas that 1984 goes. The current US government is constantly denying reality and manipulating history. Controlling harmful internet pornography should not be lumped in with them to dismiss valid concerns and actual research with legitimate secure solutions

The privacy-preserving promise of this “double blind” method has inspired various countries to further explore and develop ZKP-based age verification solutions. In the European Union (EU), a ZKP age verification protocol is being developed as part of a European-wide EU Digital Identity (EUID) framework. However, some organizations have pushed back against linking age verification tools to digital identity solutions, citing concerns over potential misuse and user privacy. While the EUID solution is set to be released by the end of 2026, the EU launched an interim age verification app in the meantime.

I don’t give a damn about your “research”, because it is clearly intended to ruin the lives of people.

I don’t think you understand how research works.

No friends, let alone people to have sex with. You would have to walk many miles to find other people, most of whom were at least three decades older than me. Plus, my parents DIDN’T have friends nor social lives.

You didn’t go to school? You didn’t interact with people your age? Could your lack of friends not be partially caused by your dependency on the internet

I guess if you still hold that belief, then it is fair you think ID for internet pron is also wrong. Though I imagine most people support the controling of alcohol and cigarette sales. In which case internet pornography should fall into the same category

Why do we regulate alcohol and cigarettes? Why dont parent’s just parent their kids? How would the kid even bave the money to buy them in the first place? To be clear, when these restrictions were being put in place, people absolutely had the exact same arguments you are making right now. The onus is on the parents.

Even kids with parents that have reasonable restrictions are easily able to access internet pornography because internet devices are everywhere. Internet devices are easier to access than cigarettes and alcohol, and can do just as much damage to their development. Why wouldn’t the government also control access to confirm someone’s age.

Please do not respond to me about giving out your ID if you do not acknowledge my comment on use zero knowledge proof’s to verify you’re over an age.

That’s what people said when they took away cigarette vending machines. Why should adults have to suffer because other people can’t control their children

You haven’t demonstrated what harm comes from googling naked girl and seeing boobs.

I cannot, since I am not a researcher. The research is out there though.

If you want devices with parental control you will need to pay for them.

If it is definitively negative, parents should not have to research, install, and pay for such restrictions onky to be easily avoided on another device.

I don’t want to turn the entire Internet into 1984 so your kids doesn’t see boobs until he’s 18

I don’t have kids. This about an entire generation and all future ones. Have you read 1984? While sueveillance is a part of it, it’s largely about authoritarianism and the control of reality itself. Being ID’d for a porn site is not that. 1984 is already happening, and the porn has nothing to do with it. Regardless, you have made no comment on the idea that I want it done with zero knowledge proof. The site would know nothing about you except you are over 18. There is absolutely nothing 1984 about that

Not all people have YOUR privilege of having friends, platonic or otherwise. What you trying to steal from my childhood, is a better future for someone you don’t know.

Are you advocating for replacing social interactions with internet porn due to rural conditions? Basically all of human history has had a very limited number of people they can interact with, and that only changed very recently.

My emotions were stunted by living in rural isolation

Research has shown that not socializing during development harms their emotional and social growth. There are people there you could have socialized with, but you didn’t have to because the internet provided an escape.

I explained my circumstances, and you ignored them. You have demonstrated why conservative values are evil

I am not conservative. I am not religious. I am literally only talking about research, which is neither a religious not conservative thing to do. Even if someone had anecdotal experience as to why alcohol helped them get through their childhood, that does not mean we should allow children to have alcohol. Likewise, it does not matter if it benefited you (which I am skeptical of to begin with) if research shows it to be harmful to kids and teens.

I am not religious, and religion should stay far the fuck away from government and laws.

However, if there is conclusive research on the negative impacts of watching internet pornography during developmental years, why should that be allowed? Once someone is an adult, they can do whatever the fuck they want with internet porn. But we stopped letting kids drink alcohol and smoking cigarettes because of the negative health impacts that were far worse when consumed prematurely.
