All this word salad and smooth talk about the "middle ground" just worries me even more. We have been living in such an unusual period of peace, prosperity and freedom that the pampered, wealthy segment of the Western people is considering children seeing porn as a some sort of catastrophe, warranting extreme countermeasures. However, meanwhile in the actual reality, people are still being killed on the basis of sexual orientation.

I would support reasonable measures to block children from accessing pornographic content, but making people upload government IDs or biometric data does not belong to the realm of what is reasonable.
