Many public WiFi hotspots have content filters. Kids are not going to be seeing porn at the library.

The issue here is there's a difference between a mainstream service, like a cinema, and a tiny author website which probably gets a few hundred hits a months at most.

And the ultimate ideological aim is to take all erotica offline. Especially any kind of queer erotica.

This is using ID issues for ideological censorship, not trying to set up an ID system to streamline access to adult material by adult consumers.





kids shouldn't get internet access at libraries. there are books in libraries. adults can show their ids and get wifi access.

Block kids at the on ramp to the internet, all the problems go away. I just don't understand what I'm missing here, why do we allow kids to use the internet?
