Tighter government control of the internet is, of course, the natural outgrowth of initial failed attempts to control the internet.
In fact, in some cases, that initial failure is entirely expected and built into the plan. In the US, AV advocates said early on they knew initial bans wouldn't work.

Politically it's easier to pass the less onerous restrictions, the ones that just seem like common sense — "like flashing your ID at a liquor store!" The government builds a moral panic, then promises its easily solvable.
That panic, once taken hold, now provides cover for bolder restrictions.

I'll give you a US example:.
The main age-verification lobbyist — a man who largely believes porn should be outlawed — admitted the state-level bills he pushed for won't work and were really a predicate for federal action.
He wants the DOJ to seize domains.

!["So, ultimately, I think what you're going to have to do is to have the states pass all these types of bills. You'll see that they're ineffective in some capacity, and it'll create a demand for Congress to act at the federal level. And then you could have DOJ take a pretty aggressive approach. I think back to the Unlawful Internet [Gambling Enforcement] Act that shut down online poker in this country... it was back 15 years ago... DO] seized those domain names and basically shut down online poker in this country even though those were foreign actors. I think that's the type of thing you could maybe do at the federal level. I know Mike Lee is exploring this right now with a bill called the SCREEN Act. But, look, we look at the states as the laboratories of democracy. Missouri has an opportunity here to really go on the books and say this is what we support, we want to protect kids in our state. And then I think Congress is always slower than the state legislatures, so….. maybe they act later."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:34ydeurdtukrpzjjelklch4y/bafkreiakfuzwuef34lm53mitlznbkxzxs445lt7reae5mrzrjliso7m5hy@jpeg)

Now, it's hard to campaign on "The US government should seize millions of foreign domains and build a Great Firewall."
But passing bills that are doomed to fail gives you years to rile up a societal panic. When the laws don't work, you blame porn again. At which point, maybe people are ready.

Earlier this week, I testified in Missouri on behalf of HB1993, a bill that would require age verification for porn websites to prevent minors from accessing pornographic material. Eight of these age ...

I wasn't mixing, just listing flavors ^^;
But I think Cinnamon and Pecan would go hard together
Also, I use to get pecan icecream bars that had pieces of pecan in em, and they were really good, thought I'd hate it but no, good stuff

Edael, I think he'd like cinnamon, pecan or blueberry flavors, fruity and nutty sweetness.
If we're talking pokemon berries, Magost, Custap, and Oran berry icecream, p much sweet all around.
