问HN:我们应该如何处理州身份证立法?
7月25日起,英国政府将开始实施身份证明检查,以访问色情网站。任何允许英国居民连接的网站都必须遵守,否则将面临巨额罚款。监管机构Ofcom已要求大型网站(如Reddit,后者不再允许英国用户匿名访问NSFW子版块)和小众网站(某些约会应用程序,如Grindr等)遵守这一规定。有趣的是,这项法律仅影响“用户对用户”的内容,而不是所有色情网站。此外,美国法院现在支持州级身份证明法律,欧盟也计划推出身份证明基础设施。
即使你对此毫不在意,或者厌恶色情内容,你也能清楚地看到发达国家的发展方向。上述美国裁决已经涵盖了任何性相关内容,包括文本,自然也包括LGBT话题和性教育。我们能做些什么来对抗这一趋势,并让开放互联网再坚持一段时间呢?
我能想到的最好办法是创建一个类似于neocities的Tor版本,方便将一些有用的内容转移到更少被监视的地方。我对这一问题缺乏报道感到失望,几年前,当各州开始推出身份证明时,这还是一个值得关注的新闻,甚至在其他国家也是如此。而现在,这几乎没有引起任何关注,令人感到有些超现实。

On July 25th the UK government will start enforcing ID checks to access porn sites. Any site which allows UK residents to connect to is forced to comply, or face major fines. Ofcom, the regulator, has ordered both large (like Reddit which no longer allows anonymous access to NSFW subreddits in the UK) and niche sites (Certain dating apps, grindr, etc) to comply. Somewhat interestingly this law only effects "user-to-user" content instead of all porn sites. Additionally US courts now uphold state ID laws https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44397799 and the EU is planning to roll out ID verification infrastructure aswell.<p>Even if you could not care less, or hate porn, you can clearly see the direction the first world is going in. The aforementioned US ruling already includes anything sexual, even text, naturally including LGBT topics and sex education. Is there anything we can do to combat this and hold out the open internet a little longer?<p>The best I can think of is a neocities but for tor, making it easy to transition some useful content to somewhere with less prying eyes. I am also dismayed about the lack of coverage on this issue, a few years ago when states started rolling out ID verification it was news worthy, even in other countries. Now not even a blip on the radar, its somewhat surreal.
