This consolidation of power is a dream come true for the Big Tech platforms, but it’s a nightmare for users. While the megacorporations get more traffic and a whole lot more user data (read: profit), users are left with far fewer community options and a bland, corporate surveillance machine instead of a vibrant public sphere. The internet we all fell in love with is a diverse and colorful place, full of innovation, connection, and unique opportunities for self-expression. That internet—our internet—is worth defending.

More people gonna get their porn from darknet. And discover its wider selection of genres…
People just go to the porn sites that aren’t hosted in a jurisdiction that requires ID verification and the ID verifying platforms lose traffic or people use VPNs.
There’s no shortage of other ways to get it for an enterprising person, maybe a few extra clicks once you know where to go. That’s likely one of the goals though, whitewashing the internet. It’s such a massive business though, but maybe very fractured and independent.
Gay-torrents is still around. Though they really need to set up an i2p instance too.
