USA has the biggest porn industry in the world, doesn’t it?
100%. Porn is what pushed the development of e-commerce and credit card payments online.
What they WILL get is eID laws as a result, and the total lack of privacy online.
Also helped drive vhs uptake in the 1980s
Didn't porn kill betamax?
Not really, no.
Let me rephrase, I thought porn got on VHS and that is what helped it win the format war.
And Blu-ray/dvds in the 90s
70s.
There already is a total lack of privacy online.
There's still corners, like Lemmy, where you can reasonably not be tracked. Even if you do the right things, you can degoogle and use reddit or other social media platforms and have it not just ping hot that it's you.
Imagine a world where you have to show a government ID to use nearly any service, like what LinkedIn has been doing. While the eID version could (should) actually make this MORE anonymized by using hashed confirmations of being over 18, the data is too juicy for anyone to not jump straight to that point.
THIS is how you make print media relevant again
Soon that will be "had"
Mind you, this will end with a lot of porn disappearing from the Internet because most of it is on US servers
Someone should start downloading all of it and have some federated repository available
The Gooner Liberation Front will rise
You're either jerking off with me, or you're jerking off against me.
Interesting point. This would further harm our economy. Not that they'll care about that.
