Trump branded chastity cages.

What I hate most is that that would be an effective tactic for right wing extremist groups. Keeping men sexually frustrated and insecure in their masculinity is a powerful tool for them.

Actually come to think of it, I really wouldn't be surprised if there were a variety of political themed pro dommes these days. It seems like it would be lucrative

The whole porn ban thing is probably my all-time favorite example of conservatives voting against themselves.

Meanwhile, in California, I can watch all the porn I want without registering myself in a database and walk down the street to the weed store. And the women in my life still have rights over their own bodies.

So I guess Democrats are actually the party of freedom.

I don't think the above commenter is saying GOP isn't worse, but having lived there for a few years and since moved away, it's taxed quite a bit more than other states. You definitely get a lot more out of it, so it's just that tradeoff. Either you pay little taxes and have to pay separately for private things to do everything yourself (good for rich people, bad for everyone else), or you pay more taxes but have way more public services.

This is pretense to intrude on other things and more importantly remove the ability to browse pornography anonymously, which is dangerous. I would never use an account to browse a porn site because why would I ever want that data linked back to me? Look at the government right now. You watch a gay or trans porn video and in a few years that could be grounds for never being able to have certain types of jobs or worse, being deemed a “miscreant”

If this was truly about protecting children they would encourage open dialogue on sex in homes and increase inclusive sex education. This is evidence based. It would still be necessary even with this nonsense because obviously vpns exist, as well as amateur run sites, sites run from outside of the USA, torrents, etc that don’t give a shit about us laws requiring age verification and will show all kinds of obscenely hardcore videos

The third party has a very secure agreement to very securely sell data to 572 advertising partners and that is very securely being bought by the FBI.

Not that outlandish, since the FBI and the US police already buys advertising data streams to get access to data they are prohibited to collect directly.

It's impossible to ban all VPNs. And even if they somehow do it, you can get a VPS(virtual private server) from one of the cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure etc.) and host your own vpn service (OpenVPN, Algo, Vultr). You don't need to know a lot about it, there are step-by-step guides for it.

The people pushing these laws are hoping it will have the "California Effect."

Like when California says "Cars need to meet X emissions standards" so far makers just make cars everywhere meet those standards.

They are hoping that by making age verification a thing in a few states, it will become a thing everywhere.

This fails to realize that one, it's easy to geofence a state online (VPNs being anwork around). And Two, companies generally comply with California laws because, on the whole, California passes mostly positive limitations. It only makes the cars and world better if they all meet the better emissions standards. Blocking porn like this, is a net negative.

Also, on the subject of kids accessing porn. They are going to do it anyway, anyone thinking otherwise is oblivious to the world, and two, it's not up to the state to nanny this shit, it's up to the parents.

There is so much voter suppression in the US. I didn't realize some of the more subtle ways it was suppressed until I moved to a state that has way less of it.

The US needs to end voter suppression. There are several ways of doing this but the top items: Mandate all election days (even those just at the state level) be paid holidays, automatically register all citizens to vote as soon as they turn 18, and make voting compulsory (not with punitive measures)

In Texas, the following is routine suppression other than the common nationwide suppression:
-People are often purged from voter registration even if they're an active voter and voted in the last election. If you don't check your registration months before the election, you'll think you're fine because you just voted but may show up and be told you're no longer registered.
-Voting registration is cut off 30 days before the election. This is on the high end of the cutoff and further increases chances you get purged, don't realize it in time, and then can't re-register.
-Voting registration is mail in only. You have to physically print off the form and mail it in. This takes substantially more time when the post office is no longer a common trip for most people. It could easily be an online form like it is in many states.
-Rotating polling locations and hours for early voting. If you try to vote early on a day off for instance, you may get to the polling location and realize it's only open on certain days of the week while other locations are open the full week or it has arbitrarily reduced hours on certain days. Other locations may then be much farther from that location.
-Polling locations far way from you. You may have to drive 30 minutes to 1 hour away to vote even in a city or if you don't have a car, public transit may take prohibitively long (2+ hours one way) to get to the polling location.
-Attacking mail in ballots as fraudulent and often throwing them out. Based on 2022 data, 6-20% are thrown out depending on the county.

There are so many more little things which all add up to the purpose of preventing people from voting. No wonder people don't vote or attempt to vote, can't, get discouraged or don't have more time off to vote, and give up.

Holy shit, that's brutal.

Glad where I live you just have to show up with an ID at the location assigned based on your permanent residency. Even passport is okay if ID is lost or expires.

If you can't, you can request a voter card that allows you to vote anywhere in the country. If you can't vote physically, you can do mail-in.

While voting is physical, you can request voter card via e-residency login. You can also call your local voting committee and request they come to your house directly if you are disabled, elderly, or unable to come.

Expanding on this, a lot of this is very consistent in the amount by which it suppresses voters, and thus, much like gerrymandering, can be designed around or intentionally enacted. I mean, that's sort of an obvious thing, but I think it's still important to take note of and point out, much like gerrymandering and every other form of voter suppression, because it makes it all the more obvious that we do not live in a democracy, even by a little bit.

I would love to agree here, but I live in an area where they do such a piss-poor job of announcing when people need to vote, that even I have a hard time knowing all of the things and when they happen. I signed up for email/text alerts and they only go out a few days before voting day. For some people, that is not enough time to plan to be off and be at the polling place.

The problem is that it's political suicide to be the "pro sex, pro smut" politician. Consistently the counters to anti sexual freedom laws have come from the courts. By saying "age verification on porn has gone too far," a politician more or less accepts that their entire campaign is going to be about this. And when that happens the right has the advantage because they have the ability to be short and quippy as they misrepresent you and play to emotions.

Oh yeah I do see the slippery slope of this whole deal, the only thing that irked me was the wording of this comment as if xhamster is a basic human freedom, but I find that a little odd since xhamster and pornhub steal from sex workers to provide it "for free" y'know.

But with the banning of books and trans people unable to get in or out of the country.... It is fucked up and scary.

Honestly, these laws are just gonna hurt old men in Republican states. Like, I grew up with piracy, torrents, and old school forums. These educated me on computers enough that I made a career out of it. And most of that computer knowledge was gained because I wanted to see big tittied women sit on each other's faces. These laws don't stop horny teens from accessing porn. It just makes them better at it.

And this is definitely not one of the cases of "oh it'll reduce numbers overall though". No the fuck it won't. It's porn. They're gonna access it. Literally every YouTuber they watch is sponsored by a VPN.

The only healthy thing to do is actually talking to your kids about porn. Educating them on its potential harms. But Republicans don't ever want to talk to their kids. Ironically, these "drain the swamp" people just want daddy government to "prevent" their kids from accessing it. Which these laws don't do.

Yep. If these red states actually cared about kids they'd care about proper sex education. But I think this stuff just proves that Republicans are afraid of sex. They had an awkward conversation about it with their dad once and have been leaving their wives unsatisfied for 30 years since. They have no idea what to do if their kid actually came home from school and asked them what the difference between a clitoris and a vagina was. They are absolutely afraid of the female body and it's why they try to control it so much.

Sorry. A bit of a rant. If this was a different conversation I'd have plenty to criticize about the sex industry too. But these conservatives don't have enough brain cells to actually talk about the problems with it. So we have old men making laws that do nothing but make them feel better. Or it's projection for their own porn addiction.

You know I think a lot more of their politics and general life outlook makes more sense when you understand that probably a lot of these super old guys are not computer literate enough to look up their niche fetishistic porn interests, and are probably still consuming porn the old fashioned way, which is becoming increasingly nonexistent even though it's still something that actually exists. Plus the propagation of morally puritanical values means that if they kept any of that material around at all, they'd be hypocrites, so they can't have that. Probably a lot of these dudes are walking around super pent up and sexually frustrated, I'd bet.

I think your theory is partially correct. But I think it's just as likely they are gooners themselves. I feel like porn addiction (gooning) is more prolific which people that have reactionary beliefs. My theory is that their political leanings are a counter to their actual actions. I don't think the gooner needs "material" to goon to. I think in it's absence it will happen through a Macy's magazine etc.

It's similar almost to priest being the most common pedos. I think these types of conservative/reactionary ideologies just create sexual suppression that manifest in addictive behavior. This is not to say that all conservatives are pedos. But to say that those beliefs combined with sexual suppression often creat these extremes. Whether it be addiction to gooning (outside of their access to goon material) or otherwise.

Idk. I just think that it's an unhealthy relationship with sexuality that any generation can fall pray to. But it's happens more often based on the circumstances of each individual/generation. And it's why it seems to be so extreme in both boomers and recent generations. They both are experiencing extreme economic material conditions/contradictions.

It’s similar almost to priest being the most common pedos.

Pedos tend to aggregate around any job that will give them trusted or unrestricted access to children. The suppression you're talking about in this case isn't just from religion, but permeates all of society. Like, they can't even hypothetically leave the church and move somewhere more liberal where their desire for kid fucking isn't being suppressed. At least not until the weird libertarian crypto-bros who oppose age of consent manage to create such a place.

I disagree, I just think what makes them bad for adults is different from what makes them bad for kids.

The privacy and security issues of this are pretty obvious. However I do think that the easy accessibility and ubiquity of porn and highly sexualized content for children and tweens is a serious problem that people who make fun of porn restriction efforts fail to address or even acknowledge.

Certainly a lot of the responsibility falls on guardians, but it's hard to moderate when you're up against the giant machines of social media. They need help to limit exposure. And this isn't some prudish "oh no protect the children from the titty and the peen" attitude. I don't think most people feel comfortable with the idea of 10-year olds sharing videos of aggressive gang banging or throat fucking like it's a normal thing. And obviously this isn't exclusive to porn. Plenty of explicit and gruesomely violent content out there to be worried about. But the internet footprint of porn dwarfs everything else put together.

Why is it everyone's problem that parents can't figure out that their kids shouldn't have unlimited unrestricted access to the internet? They know not to let their children loose on the Las Vegas strip, why can't they apply the same logic to the internet? I don't agree with 10 year olds looking at porn even slightly but also it's not my problem. I'm tired of the world making everything child friendly.

Because we live in a society and things that impact society impact you, as a member of society. It's the same reason why we have age restrictions for alcohol, porn stores, and cigarettes. It's also why we have laws about seatbelts, labour, and certain non-toxic but excessively unhealthy ingredients. Even if you take giving a shit about others out of the equation, the self-interested view knows that what happens to others' kids now can and do become your individual problem down the road.

Enforcing age restriction is not a ban. I think as an adult it's entirely your perogative to watch your dwarf porn. However your framing of "making everything kid friendly" is a bit misleading and disingenuous. It's quite the same as complaining everyone is always trying to make things kid friendly because they check your ID at the liquor store. Would it be more convenient if you could just grab and go? Sure. But the social harm without it clearly outweighs the inconvenience.

The fickle problem with the internet porn is still privacy and data security, but that's a separate issue.

Porn will be accessible without ID regardless, because plenty of sites operate outside the neutron jurisdiction of the US. All this does is punish responsible sites and push kids onto sketchier websites.
