Millions blocked from porn sites as free speech, child safety debate rages across US

The intent of the law is fine. The problem is that it won't stop kids from watching porn. Where there's a will there's a way. If we suddenly have to age verify every time we go on a site that might have content that's objectionable to the Bible Thumpers, then the internet becomes unusable. They will demand age verification to do all sorts of things. It is practically impossible, and in the end, this is just another dog and pony show for the cult. There is not a worse attorney general in the country. I seriously doubt this will stand. The Trump cult demographic matches up almost perfectly with the a typical porn consumer. If volsrock, or TDAK, or Sheriff Woody, or .... , lose access to porn, they will be left without a happy ending.

I could see myself typing this in response to another restricting/banning effort …

The intent of the law is fine. The problem is that it won't stop criminals from getting a firearm. Where there's a will there's a way. If we suddenly have to jump through more hoops every time we purchase a firearm or are banned from purchasing a certain style of semi-auto that's objectionable to the Gun Banners, then the Second Amendment has become ineffective. They will demand jumping through more hoops to do all sorts of firearm relatedthings. It is practically impossible, and in the end, this is just another dog and pony show for the cult. There is not a worse attorney general in the country who would support more restrictive firearm legislation. I seriously doubt this will stand. The Liberal cult demographic matches up almost perfectly with the typical Gun Banner philosophy. Last sentence omitted

Of course, Fredo. Why do you think the Republicans don't want Immigration Reform? All of their big business campaign donors would bitch if the Republican Congress advocated Immigration Reform since it would cost them too much money.

yet trump defies them anyway and advocates border enforcement.

it's called character over convenience and doing what's right for the regular people instead of the fascists.

true populism is on the right now.

and it's not a cynical lie like it is on the left.

of course, you will always be with the fascists because you're a coward.

Your fantasies are why you'll make a great patsy for the Threepers, Fredo. :thup:

The fact you focus upon Trump's Maginot Line and don't want Immigration Reform tells me everything I need to know about your ability to see clearly.

[FONT=&]A high-stakes battle over pornography, child safety and free speech is heating up across the nation, with more than a half-dozen states passing age-verification laws aimed at halting minors from accessing Pornhub and other adult web sites.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Texas this week became the 7th - and largest - state to pass some form of the controversial legislation, which effectively blocks millions of adult video enthusiasts from entering Pornhub's site unless they can prove they are at least 18 years old.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Attorneys and advocates for porn sites argue that the laws are not just prohibiting minors, but adults, too. Pornhub says it had no choice but "to completely disable access to our website in Texas" in order to reduce the risk of hefty fines and penalties.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]In addition to Texas, Pornhub has reluctantly blocked site access for people in other states with age-verification laws, including Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah and Virginia.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]“We are fighting not only for the rights of our members and the larger adult entertainment community, but for the right of all Americans to access constitutionally protected expression in the privacy of their own home," said Alison Boden, Executive Director of Free Speech Coalition, a national advocacy organization for the First Amendment rights of adult businesses. The group filed a lawsuit in federal court last year over what it called an "anti-porn ban" by Utah lawmakers.

The HB 1181 law passed earlier this week in Texas requires companies that offer "sexual material harmful to minors" to verify that guests on their website are 18 or older either by proof of government-issued identification or another system that uses public and private data.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a member of the Republican party, sued Pornhub's parent company, Aylo, to force them to comply with the HB 1181 law. Paxton also threatened the company with millions of dollars in civil penalties — including up to $10,000 per day and $250,000 "if a child is exposed to pornographic content due to not properly verifying a user’s age."
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]“Texas has a right to protect its children from the detrimental effects of pornographic content,” Paxton said in announcing the suit. “I look forward to holding any company accountable that violates our age verification laws intended to prevent minors from being exposed to harmful, obscene material on the internet.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]The Texas case illuminates similar restrictions on pornography websites across the US. And it shines a light on the debate over the balance between keeping children safe online and free speech protections guaranteed by the First Amendment.

Its funny how much you hate having stuff "shoved down your throat" while simultaneously demanding that "women" with penises be allowed to use womens bathrooms and compete in womens sports. Its not that you people are hypocrites that bothers me as much as your absolutely refusal to see that you're hypocrites. Transfreakism is your leftist religion and if you speak a blasphemy against it you people go insane. Your idiot president even transposed your religion over Easter. With no due respect STFU
