There’s absolutely nothing they can do to ban porn, and the number of people who watch and view porn is so large they can’t arrest everyone, maybe just arrest their enemies?

Also this guy is obviously a pedophile or something, no one else spends this much time talking about porn

Someone should check these idiots’ hard drives. I’m willing to bet they have a lot of nasty stuff that’s already illegal on there.

"If all porn got deleted from the internet there would only be one site left and it would read ‘Give us back our porn’ " - Dr Cox

It will be several orders of magnitude worse than prohibition era policies if it passes, although I suspect part of the impetus is because save for the ideologues they are better at competing and prospering in black markets than they are in open markets.

You know what’s crazy? The part about feeling shame. There’s been some recent studies about a lot of previously diagnosed sex/porn disorders and addictions being tied to shame due to misinformed religious conservative upbringing. If anything, we need to be talking about and teaching more about sex. Not learning about it correctly leads to hangups and shame about the human body, love, and self love that makes you nearly incapable of showing or expressing yourself correctly. That’s why all these conservatives are so fucking weird.

God I hope they do. It’ll be hilarious to watch how quickly all the incels turn on Trump. Not to mention all the married Conservatives who hate their wives.

New Bill sounds like kind of a dick. Bring back old Bill.

Damn, there goes OnlyFans, republicans just killing more american jobs.

It always comes out the people writing and advocating for these end up the sickest and most twisted sexual deviants out there

This will backfire spectacularly. Red states are bigger fans of porn than blue.

If you think the porn industry is exploitative and abusive now, just wait until they push it all underground.

It would be for 10 hours, then Trump would remove the bill and be seen as an hero. As usual.

There’s SCOTUS precedent saying that pornography–but not obscenity–is covered by 1A. (Obscenity isn’t very well defined, but it’s generally understood to mean pedophilia/anything involving minors (including drawings), certain acts of violence combined with sex, bestiality, and possibly necrophilia. Other extreme sexual acts–such as crush fetishes–might also fall under obscenity.) You can’t pass laws to unspool constitutional rights; your only legal recourse is either stacking the court with people that want to change precedent, or amend the constitution.

Oh wow, I hope they do it. Nothing is going to upset the MAGA crowd faster than losing access to the trans pornography they view in the privacy of their own homes while condemning publicly. I’d imagine a lot of them are not going to understand VPN.

At this point, US politics has gone far beyond the point where we can make jokes about morons voting for the face-eating leopard party. Anybody who didn’t vote for Kamala Harris because she wasn’t critical enough of Israel, didn’t do enough for LGBTQ rights, didn’t have enough left wing policies, etc. is now reaping what they sow.
