Surveillance creep is once again striking in the age verification debate. This is happening at the FCC this time.

I'm not defending this shit, I'm of course against it, but a true freedom of speech means you should not need to worry about hiding your identity when saying what you think. The law supposed to protect you from any repercussions from the government.

The fact that we do, means that perhaps freedom of speech was taken from us much earlier than that.

The law of the government was supposed to protect us from the government... Something tells me that was never going to work in the long term.

That theory pretty much only works for a limited government with a clear separation of powers and some actual accountability.
