It would be nice if we could protect children from the depraved filth clogging up the Internet. Unfortunately, that would be transphobic.

Via Tech Policy Press:

Advocates, legal experts and computer science researchers told Tech Policy Press that current methods of online age verification are likely biased against trans people, cutting them off from swathes of the internet. …

LGBTQI+ people are seeing their rights violently stripped away globally, but in a particularly regressive way in many of the “Global North” countries where age-verification is being implemented or proposed as a policy. LGBTQI+ content—particularly in education and libraries—is explicitly being targeted by local and state policies in the US, and at risk in the UK and some places in the EU.

By definition, all LBGT content is sexually perverted. So it should come as no surprise that measures limiting access to filth would have what liberals call “disproportionate impact.”

[Supposed e]xperts say age verification is being sold as a simple solution to a complex problem, while in reality, it is expanding surveillance, entrenching discrimination, and cutting marginalized people off from essential parts of the internet.

The problem of protecting children from pornography is only complex because there is opposition to it.

Where moonbats prevail, they impose a caste system. Those upon whom treasured “marginalized” status has been bestowed occupy the highest castes, with the ostentatiously sexually deranged at the very top. Children do not have the good fortune to be marginalized.

On a tip from Steve.
