    The first time I installed a keylogger was to snipe my dad’s AOL password so I could turn off parental controls on my account.

    Put any problem between teenagers and porn and they will solve it in an efficient and repeatable way.

    I love these bills because it’s gonna create a second generation of hackers.

    I remember back when age verification meant Leisure Suit Larry asking me about Watergate.

    This is just the most ridiculous mockery of how terrible this legislation is.
