Another thing about this UK porn ban: it stifles small porn creators who wouldn't be able to afford the upkeep of this AgeID system. Mindgeek, which owns mainstream porn sites like Pornhub, is the creator if the AgeID system, and they're the ones working with the government to collect everyone's info... so basically they want to monopolize porn and funnel everyone to their sites.

Jordan Peterson, transphobia 

Today I would like to write a short, investigative thread which uses my first-hand knowledge of the academic world in order to answer one simple question: Who is Jordan Peterson, and where did he get where he is?

We all know, of course, who Jordan Peterson is. A reactionary transphobe and crypto-evangelical preacher for the internet age. But it seems to me that, even the most critical analyses of him and his work neglects to mention how he got where he is.
