Plenty here applauded when porn sites rolled out age verification systems completely oblivious to the fact that this was just the camel's nose under the tent.

The end goal is to remove the ability for people to post anonymously on the internet. It's worse in Europe, of course, where posting wrongthink can lead to a criminal charge. In America, you'll only lose your job.

Yep. I sometimes wonder if conservatives are in the minority of posters here on Free Republic. It certainly wasn't 25 years ago.

The American tradition is just the opposite, as the Federalist and anti-Federalist papers were posted anonymously.
