I traced $2 billion in nonprofit grants and 45 states of lobbying records to figure out who's behind the age verification bills. The answer involves a company that profits from your data writing laws that collect more of it.

That makes a lot of sense and that pisses me off.

We're doing big brother for fun now because it gets some people some money.

Every one of those politicians takes the money not realizing that they will suffer just like everyone else. The more cunning they feel, the more susceptible they are to the same data profiling and manipulation.

Capitalism and exponential growth is not sustainable any other way. We’ve simply run our ethical and legal ways to drive more sales. What’s left is unethical stuff, or moving the goal post for what is legal.

We need to either implement a new system, or suffer the consequences.
