Ohio internet ID law

Not sure if this appropriate to post here, but I don't think this ends at "Be it a win for child safety or a leap toward gov-approved bedroom behavior."
Logical_Hospital2769@reddit
So, they still got their dick in the pie? Confusing visual.
Fucking absurd "law."
HaleyMFSkye@reddit
Now you have to show ID before you fuck the pie I guess.
Scary_Bus3363@reddit
Nobody is going to do the pie if they have to connect that to their identity. Pies will be celebate going forward

welcome to social credit age
WhatIsHerJob-TABLES@reddit
And all the republicans who spent decades lambasting china’s social credit type policies will now suddenly welcome this with open arms
kittykathigharch@reddit
Which I recently found out all of china doesn't have! Its only something in some major cities, kinda like a credit score to get apartments and stuff
Scary_Bus3363@reddit
We have that here and its every bit as evil
kittykathigharch@reddit
No literally. Being afraid if their social credit is just propaganda when you dont think about our credit score that way.
Scary_Bus3363@reddit
I actually DO think of our credit score that way. Its got its tentacles into everything and can make or break a person. I think it needs to be reformed. Just because we do something evil does not make it less evil. So I agree sort of but I DO think of our credit score in every bit that way when used for anything except getting credit cards and loans

They’re too fucking stupid to see the writing on the wall. I work with many of those dumb fucks. Some of them have switched out of shame, yet some remain loyal out of stupidity.

AntiSonOfBitchamajig@reddit
I personally believe this will expand to digital IDs / CBDCs / control over information. Over on r/ Ohio They're talking about how they're using such laws to change news and general media.

Yeah the party of "free speech" is killing it with all their "small government".

In Europe they're already using such laws to censor other "bad" things, like news.

These people are so fucking weirdly obsessed with sex, it's insane. Age verification to view porn but who cares if the women in the videos are of legal age to give consent and/or not being trafficked. 🙄
hurfery@reddit
It has little or nothing to do with sex. This is about surveillance and control.
iridescent-shimmer@reddit
Oh I know, but even the guise of religion to care about porn has always been so weird to me. Like everything else, just don't look at it? It's not hard to ignore porn if you aren't seeking it out.

AntiSonOfBitchamajig@reddit
You really think VPNs will work once they start taking over other things? This is a freedom of speech / censorship issue cloaked in "save the children".
Slammedtgs@reddit
If we want to save the children, we should have just stuck to banning TikTok and then moved to ban reels and shorts, that’s the real brain rot.
FuzzzyRam@reddit
Or, you know, not elect a child rapist as president?
Slammedtgs@reddit
Circle jerking aside, the problem I highlighted is a real problem and we should take it seriously. As for who we elected. I guess this is a fuck around and find out moment for a lot of people.
1nquiringMinds@reddit
As opposed to a pedophile running the country into the ground?
Slammedtgs@reddit
You and I might not have voted for this, but more than half the country did and agreed that pedobears should run the country. Sad state of affairs.
1nquiringMinds@reddit
Well, first off, no the fuck they didn't. And even so we're supposed to just accept that? WTF is wrong with you?
Slammedtgs@reddit
Just to keep the facts straight, what were the votes for each candidate (please link to the source)?
We don’t have to like it, but we do need to accept that the orange guy is the president. He’s your president (assuming you’re in the U.S.) and mine, even though we didn’t vote for him (unless you did?)
Non of that negates the other point you’re trying to make.
Any-Safe4992@reddit
While I see your point, you and I both know they mean half of the people who bothered to vote.
Reindeer_Adept@reddit
You mean especially one that was clearly part of a sex trafficking ring and is now on the way to pardoning the lady that organized it to keep her quiet about it?
Reindeer_Adept@reddit
Just don't give your kids phones. 🤷♀️ Sure they can watch their friends phones, but won't be able to brain rot all day every day on their phone, until of course they grow up and do what they want, can't control that, how many adults are all brain rotted out and didn't grow up with cell phones?
Slammedtgs@reddit
You can watch this garbage basically on any internet connected device (not just phone).
Society at large has a dopamine addiction and needs their fix daily.
Get a firewall on the home network and block all the domains, only thing I’ve found that works.
anthro28@reddit
I took me forever to figure out how to selectively ban short form content on my network.
YouTube in particular makes it a nightmare.
Slammedtgs@reddit
Do please share! I absolutely hate it and YouTube makes it impossible to turn off. I just block YouTube on my kids devices which also kills quality content.
BarbaricCleric@reddit
The fact that the Pedophile In Chief and his Gang Of Pedophiles are all still in office is all the evidence you need that anybody who says they want to “save the children” is full of shit.
auntie_clokwise@reddit
Yeah, there will still be a way. Pirating movies, music, and TV shows is illegal and has been for a long time. It's even got corporations with deep pockets to enforce the rules. Piracy is still alive and well and easier than ever.
AntiSonOfBitchamajig@reddit
Easier until they start mandatory online ID with data tracking. And in some cases its already investigated at federal level.
auntie_clokwise@reddit
It'll just go deeper underground. Remember that simple possession of CP is highly illegal essentially everywhere and virtually universally agreed upon as evil and wrong. Yet it's still available if you know the right corner of the internet to look in. There will be a way, there will always be a way. Us techies are faster and smarter than any government.
Gavin_Tremlor@reddit
Nope. I expect them to outlaw VPN's next.
Barnaboule69@reddit
Nah, they'll take over the VPN providers and use them as a honeypot to track potential dissedents.
auntie_clokwise@reddit
You do know you can do your own VPN, right? Find an inexpensive VPS in your country of choice, pay with some anonymous method (plenty of second tier hosting providers will take payment in crypto), and setup AmneziaWG. Make sure to turn off any logs in your VPS. If you're extra paranoid, you can tunnel one VPS to another from a different provider. There's even a few free VPS providers, like Oracle Cloud (yes, that Oracle, somehow). But there's plenty of other cheap providers that list their services here: https://lowendbox.com/

auntie_clokwise@reddit
Try Mullvad. They don't even want your email address. You can even pay in cash, if you don't want your payment traceable.
Smooth_Influence_488@reddit

new_math@reddit
Likely websites will just block them. Many corporations are already getting very good at detecting vpn (Netflix, sports networks, etc.)
RossCollinsRDT@reddit
You need to repost this to r/ConspiracyTheory
It's gonna happen.
Mapkar@reddit
The biggest concern I have is what happens as the net tightens around the globe, it’s like playing whack-a-mole with countries that the VPN can be based in.
We’re seeing this authoritarian movement worldwide, the only thing that changes between countries is whether it’s secular or religious in flavor.
flowerchildmime@reddit
How can they outlaw them. They route through another country. Wouldn’t that still work.
CatoChateau@reddit
I think using or having one installed would be the illegal part. Have ISP's check if the data going through their equipment is rerouted at all, trace which connection is supporting it, etc. "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about."
Versificator@reddit
VPNs are used by pretty much every business with meaningful network infrastructure in the US.
The protocols used for VPN tunneling can be made to look like normal web traffic (TLS/SSL).
There is no way to "block" VPN or make it illegal without making causing massive disruptions to businesses, let alone the impossibility of enforcement. Even China cannot do it.
CarolOfTheHells@reddit
Wouldn't be surprised if GOP morons shove it through anyway and are surprised at the disruptions to businesses
Versificator@reddit
There's no way to "shove it through" as the same handshake/encryption is used for all other web traffic. Blocking is impossible. You can block the VPN concentrators however that is a cat and mouse game that even china can't keep up with.
CarolOfTheHells@reddit
I meant politicians shoving through legislation banning VPNs to the detriment of everyone, corporate or not. Corporations crying out in terror over tariffs alongside the rest of us hasn't stopped Dump from shoving them through.

Don't forget Nine and Fourteen as well, not to mention the backdooring and poor opsec that inevitably leads to leaking of this data to foreign adversaries too.

Their line of thinking is that if men are using porn they aren’t engaging women and having sex.

Randy-Waterhouse@reddit
Points for the cheeky campaign.
Not sure how anybody is going to geofence any content, government approved or not, when my encrypted exit node is in Switzerland.
PurpleCableNetworker@reddit
They’ll monitor and ban traffic to entrance nodes. Entrance/exit nodes for most VPN’s are well known. Next step is they will ban VPN’s and come after you for trying to connect to one.
FuzzzyRam@reddit
That's always been the cat and mouse game - VPNs getting new addresses and masking tech, ISPs/Netflix/1984 tracking the new ones down. I'd love to see how they expect to track .onion sites, and pornhub already has one.
PurpleCableNetworker@reddit
This is where people don’t realize that VPN’s get around ISP for one big reason: they are not allowed go stop you at this time. That can change in the future. It’s easier to implement than you think: All traffic has to get filtered through some network device at the ISP level (most commonly called the gateway). They will do one of two things:
1. Demand that traffic be sent unencrypted so they can read everything at the gateway. This has serious issues since HTTPS using encryption and makes major issues with how things such as banking get done. Or 2. Utilize a classification system with the ISP devices with a default “block” rule. Unless the traffic is going to a known “good” service/IP the traffic automatically gets blocked. This is how firewalls today work - implicit deny with only certain previously filtered categorized or sites allowed through. This is likely how countries such as North Korea handle it.
Number 2 is the most likely scenario as it’s the easiest to deploy and doesn’t require cooperation from anyone but the ISP (which would easily get persuaded) What will happen after time is that they will hunt down most services and terminate their entrance nodes. A small handful will likely get smuggled into service somehow, some way (admins can be sloppy with clean up). Those small handful will become invaluable for people with live OS systems using a purely public internet connection with a device that they bought without an electronic payment form (to avoid mapping MAC addresses to someones credit card).
Yes, these kinds of systems can be defeated with some know how, but not by the general public. Unless you use your own dark network, there is no way around scenario 2. Once your traffic leaves your device it can get filtered.
If they implement this there will be zero privacy online (not that there really as any more anyway).
FuzzzyRam@reddit
I mean isn't that just the great firewall of china? They play the cat and mouse game with VPNs, but it's not hard at all to find a working one. If you default-blocked all traffic to everything except a whitelist you'd literally break the internet - as is probably the case in North Korea, sure, but think of every service, every startup, every internet-connected fridge... if a new bill took them all down at once the damage would be in the trillions of dollars - that's the difference between us and NK, you're not allowed to piss off Elon and Peter Theil like that here.

Maybe if they break the Internet all these idiots would wake up and join the thinking folks here with realizing we are in a dictatorship.

Mysterious_Eye6989@reddit
In my view the worst consequences of online anonymity have already been realized, with the proliferation of trolls and bots on social media leading to the election and re-election of Trump and the subsequent dismantling of American democracy.
Countries and states taking these kinds of moves now just feels like adding insult to injury. An internet in which everyone in the west is held to their every online utterance by official ID verification while veritable armies of trolls from Russia, China and anywhere else are still allowed to run rampant spreading discord and misinformation is the worst of all possible outcomes.

Catatonic27@reddit
Thankfully there's really no way to put vpns back in the bag. The technology is based on open protocols and too many people know how they work, you can just build more. They can't prevent vpns without preventing virtually all encryption
Human_Culling@reddit
They can write legislation that slaps you with the computer fraud penalties for even thinking about launching a VPN then stick your ass in federal prison for 20 years. I’m just saying if anyone does this, they’re gonna need flawless opsec because they’re gonna make it the boogie man
Catatonic27@reddit
I'm not saying they couldn't do it, I'm just saying it would make no sense. There are too many "legit" reasons for VPNs at the corpo level, they're part of the infrastructure now. You can even make a VPN connection look exactly like HTTPS browser traffic (using the same protocols) so at a technical level any legislation against VPNs is going to fall apart instantly I think.
At the end of the day, any technology that random citizens can boot up on their home WiFi and plasubily pass off as working from home or connecting to work servers is going to be hard to keep away from people.

Right? I doubt there’s much support for young children having unfettered internet access to stumble across all manner of violence and gore and adult sexuality. We all recognize that not all information is good information for young children, especially without a caregiver’s knowledge to allow them to contextualize it. But the potential for abuse is so severe that we haven’t rushed to restrict access before now. It’s not going to stop now that the flooded gates are open. There’s way too much to gain.

This all has to do with project 2025 plan to completely ban pornography. this is the first step. this step alone will deter some people who don't use VPNs because who wants their ID tied to their porn search history.
Then they will crackdown on VPNs because they will claim kids are using them to bypass the law.
Then(or concurrently) will start criminalizing aspects of porn little by little.
buttercrotcher@reddit
It's all for blackmail purposes, identify potentially gay people, build databases etc. if you don't think porn engines won't turn it over, an executive order citing national security will.

There was no train station
There was no down-town
South Howard had disappeared
All my favorite places
My city had been pulled down
Reduced to parking spaces
Ay, oh, way to go, Ohio.

VPNs for now, but it's sounding like it's going to get a lot more complex later in how they're wanting to ID people on the internet in general. "Know your customer" laws are already getting pretty serious for transactions, this is just another step in full online accountability / tracking.
Ecstatic_Bee6067@reddit
With all the collection on its own citizens, has the US government ever presented a "win" after all that spying? A "this is why we have this" to try and justify it?
Seems like it would be awfully expensive.
AntiSonOfBitchamajig@reddit
Well, they've nabbed a ton of people who thought they were safe using cryptos in recent years. Literally showing up even in Appalachia arresting people from all the data collected.
Overall_Midnight_@reddit
I hadn’t heard about this and am interested, specifically the Appalachia part. Could you help me with any links or more specific search terms so I could find articles please?

Banning porn is a good thing
Zyloof@reddit
Elaborate. Show me the data that supports this claim.
PreparationBrave7710@reddit
While I'm sure there's sum out there I just believe that ppl should go out and fuck real ppl instead of there hand and I'm getting so much hate for my opinion
Zyloof@reddit
I didn't ask for what you believe. I asked you for data to support your claim. If there is some out there, go find it. If not, perhaps you can refrain from making such definitive statements about nuanced topics that you don't fully understand.
This is coming from someone who gets out there and fucks real men and my hand.
GazelleOne1567@reddit
You're bragging about fucking men? Sounds kinda gay my dude. Idk if that's government approved bedroom behavior.
PreparationBrave7710@reddit
I have the right to my own opinions
Zyloof@reddit
You sure do. You do not get to force other people to be subject to your judgments based on that opinion.
PreparationBrave7710@reddit
Ah yes I'll call you the government and tell them that since I think it's a good idea that porn is banned that they don't get to do it
Zyloof@reddit
You just described the GOP. Fun fact: they are a party with real legislative power, and they are doing exactly what you just implied to be a farce.

Is it worth submitting every aspect of your life to constant surveillance and control?
PreparationBrave7710@reddit
Never said that just banning porn is a good thing
scuttledclaw@reddit
If we're talking real world, nuts and bolts of what the government would have to do to actually ban porn? Yeah - that was what you were saying. Just marinate on it awhile.

You're in the wrong sub brother, /conservative is over there.
KaleidoscopeLeft5136@reddit
So people going to learn how to use vpns?
Orwells_Roses@reddit
Seems like this would make it pretty easy to locate people belonging to specific groups.
If an authority wanted to persecute someone for an act, monitoring their internet use would be a good way to find people interested, and perhaps participants in, said act.
Ricky_Ventura@reddit
Not really. People that engage wouldnt need to also seek it out. This is why, for example, gay porn is hugely more popular is deeply religious states.
Orwells_Roses@reddit
I think you're missing my point.
Laws like this put people at risk if the content they consume is deemed illegal or otherwise "bad" by the powers that be.
Flatmilk47@reddit
Vpns about to be a booming business in ohio.
Entropy_Pyre@reddit
Here’s something I don’t really understand. Bans like this only work on legal adult sites, not illegal ones. What’s to stop someone from going to a porn site based out of Russia or a third world country? The US doesn’t utilize a firewall, and only has ISPs block larger sites, not ones that get squirrelly. It doesn’t seem any more effective than banning online streaming sites, they still exist everywhere and in droves, and taking one down just results in more being made.
Ricky_Ventura@reddit
They can just impose the restriction on your ISP meaning to get any internet at all you need it.

Corruption is running wild in the states pushing control. Media has been basically blacked out so nobody sees and news. They have no idea what’s going on.
