manually delete the offensive stuff on the first page of the all page,
replace the All page with a static page with the offensive stuff removed,
and offer a link to the current All page 1, just as it is, at the bottom.
Hope it would make defacing articles at the top of the alphabet sort slightly less attractive.

I think they'd be OK w/o the surveillance machine part of it, but they have never seemed to care about anything besides advancement of the tech or its side projects.
I can imagine a world where they were fighting for displaced workers, for Altman/Elon-suggested UBI/universal "high" income plans, and where they'd compensated those in the training set, and cut deals with publishers & content creators instead of scraping anything they could get their hands on. Would they be unpopular?
“The internet is built to, and will always, route around censorship. If Utah successfully hampers commercial VPN providers, motivated users will transition to non-commercial proxies, private tunnels through cloud services like AWS, or residential proxies that are virtually indistinguishable from standard home traffic. These workarounds will emerge within hours of the law taking effect. Meanwhile, the collateral damage will fall on businesses, journalists, and survivors of abuse who rely on commercial VPNs for essential data security.
These provisions won't stop a tech-savvy teenager, but they certainly will impact the privacy of every regular Utah resident who just wants to keep their data out of the hands of brokers or malicious actors.”
Unfortunately, these efforts will continue so long as the idea that "if I'm not doing anything wrong, I have nothing to hide" remains commonplace.
The optimist in me hopes that attempts to censor popular and relatively harmless content like pornography will discredit this notion for good, sort of like how Internet commerce put to rest the idea that cryptography was only useful for governments, corporations, and bad actors.
> Utah legislators should know the reason the EFF makes this statement is that it’s true.
Well, it's not true, and Utah's legislators know better than the EFF. The whole idea that political restrictions can be fixed by technical means is a scam. Simply put, today Utah - tomorrow the universe. This didn't start in Utah and it won't end there.
The piecemeal removal of privacy and freedoms has reached an advanced stage and one of the major factors that made it possible is the misplaced faith in circumvention by technical means.
A nice idea in theory, but would you seriously argue that all the Internet censorship in several countries has been completely without effects? A law doesn't need to be impossible to circumvent to cause great damage.
It can, right. One effect’s directly listed (“the collateral damage will fall on businesses, journalists, and survivors of abuse who rely on commercial VPNs for essential data security.”)
Perhaps your CEO has less political capital than Meta’s.
Story goes they need proof of humanity for their business (advertising) survive. Pesky things like the continuity of businesses they don’t own, that can be figured out later.
