      So I feel like I’m now hearing more successful pushes for censorship through this stuff.

      Just last week I learned how Texas has a bill that makes it so if anyone ever invested in green technology that they wouldn’t be allowed

        I saw a post saying /r/period required an age check.

        They’re gonna censor as much as they can with this.

          Ah, yes. As we all know, periods start at 18, when you’re a legal adult. It’s illegal to have periods before then

        That makes no sense, surely everyone has invested in green energy through workplace retirement plans, no?

        not yet, but the wikimedia foundation has been fighting against it expecting that it would be a class 1 site and require it.
