The weirdest thing about 2024 is the rapid rollout of unconstitutional age verification laws for websites, and how little the “free speech” tech crowd seems to care about this.
@matthew_d_green If we're talking conservatives, they never cared about free speech. Worth remembering though is that anti-privacy and anti-speech bills are often depressingly bipartisan.
@matthew_d_green My sense is that there is a great deal of concern, but so long as these are all trapped in the legal system there isn't much to be done in a practical sense, and in fact courts are generally not looking at these favorably except in limited contexts like commercial porn.
