Do you support ignoring the due process rights of illegal immigrants?
Do you support suspending habeas corpus?
Do you support Trump and DOGE violating the Constitution by trying to take away Congress’s power of the purse?
Do you support Trump running for a third term in violation of the Constitution?
If you support these things then you do not believe in the Constitution, and you just might be a fascist.
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.I'm not ashamed to say I've been on Pornhub and because I am a Texas resident it is no longer available. Following is the message TX residents receive. It's coming, folks! (No pun intended.)
Dear user,
As you may know, your elected officials in Texas are requiring us to verify your age before allowing you access to our website.
Not only does this impinge on the rights of adults to access protected speech, it fails strict scrutiny by employing the least effective and yet also most restrictive means of accomplishing Texas’s stated purpose of allegedly protecting minors.
While safety and compliance are at the forefront of our mission, providing identification every time you want to visit an adult platform is not an effective solution for protecting users online, and in fact, will put minors and your privacy at risk.
Attempting to mandate age verification without any means to enforce at scale gives platforms the choice to comply or not, leaving hundreds of thousands of websites open and accessible.
As we've seen in other states, such bills have failed to protect minors, by driving users from those few websites which comply, to the hundreds of thousands of websites with far fewer safety measures in place, which do not comply. Very few sites are able to compare to the robust Trust and Safety measures we currently have in place. To protect minors and user privacy, any legislation must be enforced against all platforms offering adult content.
Unfortunately, the Texas law for age verification is ineffective, haphazard, and dangerous. Not only will it not actually protect children, but it will also inevitably reduce content creators’ ability to post and distribute legal adult content and directly impact their ability to share the artistic messages they want to convey with it.
The safety of our users is one of our biggest concerns. We believe that the only effective solution for protecting minors and adults alike is to verify users’ age on their device and to either deny or allow access to age-restricted materials and websites based on that verification.
We call on all adult sites to comply with the law. Until the real solution is offered, we have made the difficult decision to completely disable access to our website in Texas. In doing so, we are complying with the law, as we always do, but hope that governments around the world will implement laws that actually protect the safety and security of users.
We encourage you to:
- Learn more about device-based age verification* solutions that make the internet safer while also respecting your privacy.
- Contact your representatives and demand device-based verification solutions that make the internet safer while also respecting your privacy.
*Device-Based Age Verification refers to any approach to age verification where the personal information that is used to verify the user’s age is either shared in-person at an authorized retailer, inputted locally into the user’s device, or stored on a network controlled by the device manufacturer or the supplier of the device’s operating system. Whether through pre-installed content blocking and filtering software, the disabling of web-browsing permissions, or other means, the user will then be prevented from accessing age-restricted content over the internet unless they are age-verified. To come to fruition, such an approach requires the cooperation of manufacturers and operating-system providers.
Porn is prostitution so at least it would establish some consistency in the law.
Prostitution isn't federally banned.
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.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.

its that whole smaller government angle.One thing about MAGA they never fail to come up with new laws that involve more policing of human bodies.
John Oliver did a nice piece on them the other night.Someone started a thread about the ADF, a super conservative legal advocacy group who has been slowly but surely infiltrating the highest levels of government. They aren't going to stop here.
Prostitution isn't a federal crime. Big whiff on that one.Porn is prostitution so at least it would establish some consistency in the law.

Lest we forget this backward thinking bullshit.Who gets to decide what porn is?
Are we going to need to put black rectangles on paintings in museums?
fear not, you shall have loads of company.That's it, I'll be locked up forever.

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

ALL skinny pants SHOULD be banned!Dang, they'll have to ban tight jeans on guys. OK, equal treatment under the law, on women too
We are already goose-stepping in that general direction.
Perhaps a discussion, instead of the attack?Oh okay, thanks for level headed fundi Christian opinion.

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.Wow, the commies are really getting down to it, huh?
Persecution complex.You presented the Christian fundi opinion. I thanked you for it. How is this an attack?
No, I presented MY opinion (who is neither Christian, or fundi)You presented the Christian fundi opinion. I thanked you for it. How is this an attack?

Is it persecution if the thing someone accuses you of is so off base, they might as well be in orbit?Persecution complex.
