this "party of small government" really hates the first amendment?
REMINDER THAT ONLY ONE PARTY REMOVES RIGHTS.
And that's the party the majority of voting Americans voted for.
Hope you all enjoy this sinking ship.
Germany seems to be trying to remove the rights of the afd, but in general absolutely.
And then they will render all Anti-Trump talk obscene.
I say pornhub releases all DC IP addresses if it goes through.
They should release their search history and announce which of them have been banned as well, whether it goes through or not.
Ted Cruz's history and time stamps sent to his family lol
God. if I worked there you can bet id work on that
This will bring down the price of eggs.
The definition of obscenity necessitates a lack of "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."
This bill won't ban porn, it'll just make it all require a plot.
so ao3 is probably fine
If porn becomes a political issue (because one political group is far more likely to support it's prohibition than others), then technically, couldn't it be argued that creating and sharing it has political value as a protest of the effort to ban it, and therefore that it has political value inherently?
This is a very fair point - my concern with the original definition is the word “serious”
I can see no fault in this logic.
If that's what you need to get there, no kink shame here.
There's already some good plotlines. My favorite is the Lemon Stealing Whore. Tier S writing there.
"This isn't a beach, this is a bathtub!"
This bill is part of Project 2025 and the aim is to make it illegal to be a trans person.
The end goal of project 2025 is to establish a Christian nationalist fascist government, strictly enforcing gender roles is just part of that
So said the Supreme Court; so, too, can that Court change its mind.
Of course it's Mike Lee.
Fuck Mike Lee.
Just don’t film it.
no thanks
With Marry "Hitler did nothing wrong" Miller as cosponsor.
Isn’t porn a staple of the religious conservative? I’m sure they will vote for this in the belief that it doesn’t apply to them.
No, you’re thinking of gay porn. That won’t be illegal if you are just doing it for research.
Oh, you better believe they’ll have ‘religious (Christian) exemptions’ to laws, carved out under the guise of using ‘freedom of religion’ as a defense from gov’t control. Just like they already do for molesting choir and altar boys.
Losing the incel vote probably won’t work out for their numbers.
So many incels are no fap though or were recruited through Christian nationalist pastors
Sure, but do you honestly believe they’re telling the truth?
I guarantee this douchebag has a very weird search history on pornhub. Like amputee clown porn. Or latex and animals. It’s something odd. I mean if that’s your thing and it’s legal go for it. But something that would cause a lot of pearl clutching if it was made public.
Why not just require ISPs to block it? That’s what many countries do without having to go through the trouble of criminalizing and prosecuting the consumers.
I don’t agree with the spirit or purpose of the law nor with banning or criminalizing. But one is less harmful than the other.
Because the point is to be able to enforce it arbitrarily. To be able to Target specific people and groups. Being harmful is the point.
Need every possible excuse to send people to El Salvador
But one is less harmful than the other.
Lol. We're talking about the Republican party. Their fetish is to hurt Americans. And American's fetish is to be hurt by them.
Meat for the base, this will go no where
No, I think it’s time we started taking shit seriously. Clearly laughing and brushing it off, being in denial, hasn’t been a good strategy for us collectively
They said that about abortion or DEI
And draining the swamp, deporting illegals, etc. Where in a new world where the Bill of Rights and constitutionally mandated agencies aren’t protected from the Executive’s and oligarch’s wrecking ball / grift.
Porn is part of my religion.
I will also join this religion.
See you in prison everyone!
Probably this doesn't even come up for vote.
In the event it does, well, they just went to war with the biggest streaming platform independent of Google. Do they have any idea how much muscle PornHub has if they were so inclined?
This exists purely to put the opponents of the bill on the side defending porn.
Land of the Free
Thank the good Lord, I get so bothered when I see a woman's ankles.
That’s definitely going to work. And not a huge fucking waste of time or money.
