I had to travel to Austin for work a few weeks ago. Got off the plane, checked into the hotel, took a shower, decided to use mother nature’s melatonin to help with the jet lag… then, boom. Upload your driver’s license.

So I had visited some sites that were hosted outside US and didn’t give a fuck about Texas’ stupid laws.

These laws are not only authoritarian, they’re fucking useless.

In any given situation, sites beholden to these laws are much less likely to be hosting CSAM

Other way around:

Sites that COMPLY with laws and exit the state leave behind sites that do not comply.

The sites you CAN reach in Texas are more likely to have trafficking victims and underage participants – because those sites clearly don’t give a hoot about laws.

Texas drove away the wrong sites!
