What really hurts is that, ultimately, the initiative derives from and serves the interests of the Island Man Class.

The solution isn’t to cave in. It’s to fight these laws in every state and nationally too. This is the result of Meta’s lobbying and also a campaign by the Heritage Foundation, because conservatives have viewed age checks as a defacto ban on porn and a pathway to ultimately ban whatever else they see as morally wrong (LGBTQ).

The worst part of this is Democrat legislators are proposing these laws even in blue states. Every single one should be recalled or challenged.
