    Lmao good luck idiots. Already tried it with alcohol, then with weed. How’d those work out? Porn isn’t even tangible.

    American Taliban.

    Simple as that.

    Domestic terrorists who typically look unkempt and dirty, attempting to oppress others.

    American Taliban.

      At the speed at which this is happening, there won’t be, and I’m not joking.

      No one is coming to save us.

      Arm up. Train. Help everyone you can arm up and train. Form networks and use encrypted messaging apps to communicate.

      I’m not going to pretend like I know how this will play out, but the one thing I know is that our federal government has been captured by literal fascists and they’re going to dial this up to 11 and see what happens. Maybe they simply don’t have enough national support to really pull it off. Maybe they do. I do know that you don’t want to be unprepared if they do.

      It can happen here. We never thought we’d be where are are right now. But we are.

    From the bill:

    “Pornographic material” includes any content, digital, streamed, or otherwise distributed on the internet, the primary purpose of which is to sexually arouse or gratify, including videos, erotica, magazines, stories, manga, material generated by artificial intelligence, live feeds, or sound clips.

    Soooo they want stronger plot lines in their porn? Is that what I’m hearing? Something that they can sit down and watch with the family?

      In case it wasn’t clear to everyone, the end goal here is not banning porn, but to classify being gay, trans, etc, as sexually arousing and ban any speech by anyone in those groups, followed by banning those groups.

      I’m in Florida and so many sites block or want to verify me that I automatically hit my VPN server.

    They’re just making a market for someone to compile a 1TB “Best of the Best Cumpilation”, copy it to a handful of cheap terrabyte drives and resell them (to legal adults) in a verification state.

    • This comment should not be read as condoning copyright infringement, but rather as a commentary pointing out that prohibition instantly creates very easy to serve and lucrative black markets that will be filled by someone.

      Hello, I am here to condone copyright infrigement and advocate for the abolition of the intellectual property regime and the criminalization of pro-copyright advocacy for they are enclosers of culture and therefore the enemy of humanity and should be ground into a fine powder.

      Also, abolish Michigan !

    As a relatively recent country (by European standards), USA did not go through the Middle Age. I guess this is it. Enjoy the public burnings of heretics.

      I see it more as a step towards banning a ton of content they don’t like by claiming they are porn, or porn-adjacent (for example any LGBTQ+ content)

        It was literally outlined as this in Project2025, ban porn then define speech you want to suppress (primarily LGBT but also women’s health) as porn.
