        Who is behind it? The whole world collectively decided to start pushing it. So what big money is behind it? It doesn’t seem organic.

      When they decided “protect the kids” was a good enough excuse to ramp up the surveillance state.

      It isn’t like creepy rightwing ultrawealthy men with shadowy connections to pedophiles and other criminals own those companies they are uploading the photos to!

    Whatever hurdles apply to 18+ media should also apply to online gambling and alcohol stores.
