So it'll have porn?

I wonder if American citizens from states which requires age verification to access porn (25 US states today) will be fine with it or these states will start demanding ID to access freedom.gov. It would be delicious irony.

  • Or, since it's apparently run by HHS, surely they will protect people looking for resources about abortion, hormones, etc.

    Real rich material coming from the government demanding it's biggest Internet companies unmask government critics.

    • Pretty sure it will be like TrumpRX. Big PR blitz and when the details are exposed, a nothing burger.

  • Right. Porn will probably be most of the traffic. The number of people in Europe who really want to access US neo-Nazi sites is probably not large.

    • There is a lot more blocked than porn and neo-nazis. This will also allow access to sites that block access because of laws: Imgur is not accessible from the uk, nor are a lot of smaller US news sites. Ofcom are after 4 chan too.

  • Previous propaganda channels from the government couldn't legally be broadcast within the US itself, so it's possible they'll try to pull the same thing here.

Government mandated uncensored free porn access. I wonder if this will this also apply in US states requiring age verification to legally access such content?
