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
Funnily enough, porn is sort of the canary in the coalmine for free speech. Their use of banning it will be through defining what is and is not obscene. If they can get a case run up to the supreme court, who then confirm that this self expression is obscene, that opens the flood gates for them to freely define what self expression is obscene and ban it or send people to jail.
From there it's a small step to calling something like a dissenting political opinion obscene.
The thing about them is that the ones that claim to hate porn the most are usually the ones with the most fucked up fetishes. If you look at my porn habits you'd fall asleep.
Make everyone a criminal, selectively arrest your enemies. Very simple.
They do that even without their enemies doing anything.
What happens when they decide they have the right to enforce that law abroad?
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.
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.
"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
If Dr Cox and Mr Cox cable got together for a video it would be two cox at the same time! Highly illegal to have two cox at the same time once this law passes. I need to find more cox at the same time videos to watch before I can't watch two cox at the same time anymore!
I love cox
2 or more cox at once are a recipe for happiness.
Especially if the Janitor, Bob Kelso and JD appear
