Then where’s the call to ban apple products? They famously defied the FBI’s call for a backdoor during a terrorist investigation after all. Apple’s actions have proven themselves to be more resistant to regulatory actions than frickin tiktok which actually proposed letting an American company host and oversee tiktok’s infrastructure and data collection for the USA as a solution to such concerns.
That would be incredibly stupid to do that for the commerical real estate industry alone. The online retail industry alone is equal in size, and that doesn’t even take into the dozens of other similarly large industries that would become too risky to exist without TLS and other encryption schemes.
I think it’s significantly more likely that the effort is actually genuinely about muh terrorism/muh pedos than I about protecting landlords that are dwarfed by the industries this kinds crap would undermine.
A slower connection is better than ending up in prison, the re-education camps or worse, beheaded.
Without average Joe’s using it for nonsense Tor usage is basically a neon sign saying “I’m doing something worth hiding. Come and kill me.”
I can’t wait for musk to be arrested for distribution of CSAM because of his shitty moderation policy decisions because that’s clearly what he wants to happen.
That’s the thing though paid porn is niche to begin with, and for people that pay for it there are three groups. Group 1 that cares about production quality, group 2 that has some hyper-niche fetish, and group 3 that wants more than just something to best their meat to, they are looking for a sexual parasocial relationship.
Your future of ai porn of anything and everyone could only address group 2. Group 1 will take quite some time before they are satisfied with generated porn (it would need to be indistinguishable from real 4k porn with high production values.) and group 3 would require the computational power to render it in real time with both a believable personality and high quality graphics.
