Canada’s S-210 is part of a wave of proposals worldwide seeking to gate access to sexual content online. Many of the proposals have similar flaws. Canada’s S-210 is up there with the worst. Both Australia and France have paused the rollout of age verification systems, because both countries found that these systems could not sufficiently protect individuals’ data or address the issues of online harms alone. Canada should take note of these concerns.

frothing mouth puritanism intensifies

Sorry, frothing at the mouth implies that you are a sexual degenerate. We have to ban you now.

We can't trust adult websites to stop minors from entering!!!... Now give the adult website your personal info to visit!!!

Maybe sex ed is actually better than banning stuff? I know that doesn’t track with conservatives though.

I mean its a great way to encourage everyone to use a VPN...

Leading to a blanket ban on VPNs "for the children."
