Wow good job Spain.
I guess this works because email doesn't exist.
I guess this works because file sharing applications and websites don't exist.
I guess this works because VPN's free and paid don't exist.
I guess this works because Tor, i2p, Freenet, and Yggdrasil don't exist.
I guess this works because torrenting doesn't exist.
I guess this works because black markets don't exist.
I guess this works because chat applications don't exist.
To be a fly on the wall of these government meetings where they talk about this shit would surely be the funniest fucking thing in the world.
I want to be at the meeting a year from now where they realize only two people have ever signed up 'Yay we fixed porn!'
Buy who am I kidding they brought VPN shares before this was introduced
and probably have some of the most depraved porn habits imaginable
Bought VPN shares and water shipping company shares because they know wasting money on this shit instead of on public infrastructure to provide more reliable clean water is only good for commercial interests.
You are right, it's really stupid.
But it's also stupid not to consider, that it's not the real reason they made this in the first place.
They want to track you, and porn is the first excuse. If this is a success you might need this passport for alot of other things.
Thank you for contributing!
