I see another shift beginning too- people starting to take decentralized services seriously. The fediverse gives me hope for a return to more of the Wild West days of early internet and more collaboration.

I was also wondering if the new laws could be gamed with malicious compliance- could you overwhelm whatever enforcement agency is trying to do these porn lockdowns by submitting every one of the 75 billion different random places and sites that have porn? Every random image host, everything? Every single google image search result? I can’t imagine VA trying to send out and follow up on a billion cease and desist orders is at all practical, especially with domains constantly changing. Trying to lock down a few big popular money makers like pornhub, sure, but good luck blocking the whole world.
