    This guy is why IT needs to train everybody at work every year to not open attachments from people you dont know, but he still somehow does.

    So hey Pierre.

    I’m no fan of the LPC from a long time back. But you are convincing me that a Conservative majority will be a shitshow.

    You might just snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with this braindead stupidity.

      Let’s hope they do. They are a dumpster fire. I’m fine with perpetual minority governments with NDP Liberal and Green coalitions or supply and confidence agreement. Give me electoral reform damn it.

    It would be very stupid to set up a system where you have to give the porn site your ID. Better to just have an attestation that this user is over 18 years old.

    There even ways to do this without the government knowing which site you visited with zero knowledge cryptography. But that would probably require everyone to get a Yubi key or equivalent, which might be hard to swallow

    The porn companies should together agree that they will create a public record of all conservative politics viewing habits if the bill is passed. This would kill any bills in a millisecond.

    Wow. Under what stone has this guy been living since the start of the digital age?

    As if any site that stores such data would not be a prime target for hackers for a number of reasons, and as if any site could really defend against a dedicated attack for as long as this law runs.

      Being able to out porn viewers is almost certainly the point. I’m sure from their PoV, it’s giving them sources of this info that they can subpoena, but if it all leaks publicly, that gives them what they want, too.

    Because porn sites are known to be serious, trustworthy entities that definitely don’t have a long history of distributing viruses and scammy penis enlargement products, and generally trustworthy ad networks that aren’t spooked out by porn as their source of revenue. They totally wouldn’t sell user data as extra income.

    There totally won’t be fake porn sites that needs your credit card and now your ID to verify your age and identity before they show you all those hot chicks in your area.

      They know it’s not secure, they’re hoping it will broadly stop (or at the very least, extremely hinder) people from watching porn

      Making anything that isn’t missionary position between a married man and woman under the covers with the lights off for the sole purpose of procreation illegal has been a long standing goal of modern conservatives, and they’re currently inching their way there

    Want to see how hypocritical the conservatives are? Replace the word digital ID with masks or mandate
