and require platforms to implement age verification technology for users accessing pornographic material, among other measures. This shit is a trojan horse. Because the next bill the Republicans push through will be to define anything LGBT+ as ‘pornographic’. So now they can block kids from accessing educational material and resources, and they can also start building a database of everyone in the country who’s LGBT+ … for reasons.

Use fake IDs, encourage people to use and make fake IDs. Share tools to make fake IDs. They need to know how stupid and overbearing said laws are. Bonus if you make said Fake IDs and their generation easily accessible to kids.
