    It would be pretty easy to subvert tbh for anyone tech savvy enough.

    It’s like bypassing windows 11 “cloud account” and using a local account instead. If a person cares enough to ask why someone needs a cloud account to access their own PC.

    For ID verification a personal VPS purchased in another country and routing all your home network traffic through that would bypass any ID checks. Also offline copies of websites and downloading content through P2P or usnet would be visible in obscuring your “viewing history”.

    And porn can still be purchased or shared on bootleg DVDs.

      Those solutions don’t really work if you need an ID to connect to the internet. Can’t access your VPN without internet access, can’t get on a P2P or usenet without accessing the internet first.

      And porn can still be purchased or shared on bootleg DVDs.

      They’d definitely prefer this, that gives them a physical media that they can track and the police can seize.

      Plus it’ll give them more excuses to search through people’s belongings.
