I think a large part of it's popularity has become the porn, because it passes all those filters. Especially since Musk backed conservatives are blocking porn in red states, but as far as I know, never twitter.
Treat it like a porn site and lots of Republicans need to give up their ID to show they're old enough. They can't VPN around it because social media hates VPN
I know this isn't the intent but oh god I never considered that porn sites being blocked would open an avenue for a bloated billionaire to try to capitalize on it for themselves.
Every new law changes the rules of the game. Every new rule presents an opportunity to those who can circumvent it.
The wealthy have always succeded by gaming the system.
They had already succeeded because they had the workaround figured out when their friends made the rule.
