GOP Senator Introduces Bill to Make All Porn a Federal Crime, Following Project 2025 Playbook


Yes, but the far left wants people to accept trans people in society, prosecutions for cops killing civilians, and the removal of statues put up to praise racists, and that is the same the same as looking into suspending habeas corpus, due process, and sending everyone we don't like to El Salvador.

Exzacteley the same. Checkmate, liberals!

 
Florida is doing the same. It's also not just pornhub. It's also, Xhmaster, Redgifs (just gifs or porn clips) etc. There are some that are completely not impacted because there are so many porn sites it's going to get overlooked. The fact of the matter is, this is the GOP using the "safety of children" as a way to police what people do and see in their own home.
 
Porn is prostitution so at least it would establish some consistency in the law.
Prostitution isn't federally banned.

Did @Napoleon run away because he was caught making shit up from his first post? I do not know, we will have to check on this but I do not see any other posts from him.

No. I’ve been engaged in more interesting topics. Who does the punishing is irrelevant. What is relevant is the disparate treatment between street walkers and porn actors despite the fact they’re all engaged in prostitution. If prostitution should be a criminal offense then it shouldn’t matter who is paying them, be it a studio or a John.
 

Neither prostitution nor pornography are federally illegal. Different states have different laws concerning prostitution. The same goes for pornography. This is a thread about a federal effort to make pornography illegal.

What are you blabbering about?
 
John Oliver did a nice piece on them the other night.
I love the clip of the daughter of one of the head honcho's speaking out about trans student on a team that she played against, and they lot Bigly.
Only snag? There WAS NO trans player on the team.
Yo mother****ers don't let the truth get in the way of a wholesome outrage.
 
Who gets to decide what porn is?

Are we going to need to put black rectangles on paintings in museums?
Lest we forget this backward thinking bullshit.
 
Even though I think it should be taxed, highly, like all sin taxes, and believe it is poison for our communities, it should never be banned.

Oh okay, thanks for level headed fundi Christian opinion.
 
For a law to be valid, there must be a compelling governmental interest. In part attempts, promoters used protection of minors as a rationale. In 1957, SCOTUS ruled against that, in
Butler v. State of Michigan
352 U.S. 380 (1957)
In this case, the Court rejected the principle that adult material must be restricted because it might harm minors. Striking down a Michigan statute outlawing printed material that contained obscene language "tending to the corruption of the morals of youth," Justice Felix Frankfurter noted that the sweep of the restriction was far too broad: "The State insists that, by thus quarantining the general reading public against books not too rugged for grown men and women in order to shield juvenile innocence, it is exercising its power to promote the general welfare. Surely, this is to burn the house to roast the pig."

Justice Frankfurter held that the law violated the due process clause of the 14th Amendment because it "reduce[d] the adult population of Michigan to reading only what is fit for children."

This decision repudiated the earlier, longstanding test for obscenity. Based on British common law, the "Hicklin principle" declared obscene any material that tended to "deprave or corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences, " including children.
See:

I find it hypocritical that Republicans used to believe in states rights until they want to ban something nationally.
 
Wow, the commies are really getting down to it, huh?
The porn industry is an enormous player in and beneficiary of sex trafficking. The only way to stop it is to make it unprofitable. At the very least, I would say our society is overdue for a conversation about whether your jollies are worth supporting entities that profit from sex trafficking by hosting content featuring victims.
 
Is it persecution if the thing someone accuses you of is so off base, they might as well be in orbit?

Or is it it just dumbassery?

Thank you for providing your Christian fundimentalist opinion. I thank you for it.
