What can be described as porn is subjective to individuals. It should not be regulated by a government body outside of criminal activity surrounding it's production and distribution.

My question is what defines pornography? Will museums have to cloak statues of naked people? Remove a renaissance era painting because of boobs? How about a movie that has tasteful nudity? Or just ads for Victoria Secret?
As is always the case with fascists, the laws will apply to the people they don't like and be ignored for the people they do like. So long as Victoria's Secret's CEO continues paying the bribes, it's not porn.
Anything they disapprove of.

Gotta love it how one party steals rights away from Americans and it's always the one party that screams the loudest about "muh rights!" and they're constantly supported by smooth brains who just can't stop talking about "muh rights or you get muh bullets!!".
I'm still waiting for those bullets to fly but smooth brains are occupied now by trump jingeling some keys calls "no trans bathrooms" in front of them so they're a bit busy

”I'm fairly sure if they took porn off the internet, there'd only be one website left, and it'd be called ’Bring back the porn!’ ” - Dr Cox
Is that what the ~~Saudi~~ Qatari gift of a new Air Force One to the Talibangelicals was for?

Is it just me or does Mike Lee look like the kind of guy that would have a kiddie porn dungeon
You want citizens? I'll get you new citizens tomorrow! Just ban all pornography!
A few months later.......Sir, the people are still not fucking! The males keep trying to rape the females and the females have evolved teeth on their hoohaas....oh no, waif, wait, that's a blurb about a movie I'm going to watch. The women are being raped in higher numbers though. We need those citizens born so we banned abortions.
HA! Haha. Ha. Oh man, that’s a good one. All they’ll end up doing is making VPNs even more of a wise investment.
I remember this interview with pornstars before Trump’s first term where they were asked who they are going to vote for. Many said they were going to vote for Trump because “he a gud biznidmyan” and only voted for him for the tax cut. I hope they got what they voted for cuz they need that extra cash.
Okay so previously I would’ve thought this is performative with no chance of it passing. However states have already passed laws that require proving ID to sites like pornhub before you can access and I am SHOCKED that they did it.
People in these areas are either using VPN, verifying an account with pornhub, or just not using pornhub. All 3 of which would be absolutely surprises to me but it’s gotta be one of them, right?
VPN almost certainly, or just finding sites that don't comply.

USA has the biggest porn industry in the world, doesn’t it?
Soon that will be "had"
Mind you, this will end with a lot of porn disappearing from the Internet because most of it is on US servers
Someone should start downloading all of it and have some federated repository available
100%. Porn is what pushed the development of e-commerce and credit card payments online.
What they WILL get is eID laws as a result, and the total lack of privacy online.
THIS is how you make print media relevant again
