Australia loves empowering the black market. These age verification efforts will lead to a proliferation of CSAM and be as useful as the various other bans Labor has implemented. Shit, this might make porn MORE accessible to minors seeing as the social media ban already got teens used to using VPNs or otherwise tricking verification. The vape/tobacco ban only made vapes and tobacco cheaper and more accessible, the same effect will happen with porn and csam.

More sites need to take a stance to just shut us out, and when Australia doesn't have access to barely anything let's see where we go with it.

Albo is playing with fire. Cost of living, housing, inflation, interest rates all mean nothing compared to this.
Messing with voters' porn is a guaranteed way to lose an

You didn’t hear this here, but Vivaldi browser comes with free Proton VPN.

Cool, Good thing you're only skirting around age restrictions and not trying to stay anonymous while protesting https://privacyradar.com/news/privacy/proton-mail-payment-data-stop-cop-city-activist-identified/

Proton VPN has a free tier and AFAIK you can use as extension on most browsers.

This is just more Corporate Welfare for foreign VPN companies.
Sex workers and performers should be getting all the Johns money, rather than a portion going to ExpressVPN, SurfShark, NordVPN, etc.
