Party of personal responsibility says the website has to stop THEIR children from watching porn.

"Law enforcement isn’t expected to police sites. Instead the bill set up a process for parents whose minor children are able to access pornography to sue providers."

“This law is to protect the children!”

“Why won’t you bother to protect your own children by watching what they’re doing online?”

“HOW DARE YOU!”

Mike Johnson: “My son watches the best porn.”

Ugh... Thanks for reminding me that the family values conservative father/son team critique each other's porn tastes.

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

They watch it on the same couch. It’s not gay when it’s your son. Just a bonding thing.

Daddy taught me how to tie a knot.

If your religion is so great and righteous, there shouldn't be a need to outlaw anything. The powerful morals and teachings you provide your children should be more than enough to protect them from anything in the world throughout their lives.

If you can't control what they see online or on any computer, how do you expect them to go through life on their own? If they fail, it's the parents and adults they looked up to and taught them that failed not society.

Also ....... why the hell are you guys so fixated on sex and children?

[-] youngGoku@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

So then if the child uses a VPN can the VPN be sued?

[-] thallamabond@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Great question, how about another?

Does Reddit have porn?

Does Lemmy have porn?

What is porn, and is it defined in this law?

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 10 months ago

Guberment InTeRfErAnCe! :-(

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 61 points 10 months ago

Wait! Do thoughts and prayers not work to keep kids from porn just like they don't work to save kids from getting shot in a school shooting?

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

Let’s try, I’m gonna think about porn real hard and see what happens.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Well if you start out real hard not a lot will happen..

[-] joyjoy@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Instructions unclear, I now have a sticky situation.

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Just bare minimum parenting skills are effective, I'm afraid.

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 39 points 10 months ago

How long before women get thrown in prison for giving these cowards “involuntary” erections?

[-] Brokkr@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

As soon as they refuse to wear their chastity robes.

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

It’s the woman’s fault she if she gets raped anyway. She should have known. Why didn’t she have her face covered?

[-] AngelJamie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

"Hmm... maybe we should cover women in a certain kind of garb so that they don't tempt us with lustful manipulati- oh wait"

[-] youngGoku@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Lmao yeah totally.

We are witnessing the deregulation before our very eyes.

[-] jkmooney@kbin.social 10 points 10 months ago

Holy crap, how depraved do you have to be for PornHub to block you?

[-] autotldr@lemmings.world 4 points 10 months ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


404Media reported that residents in both North Carolina and Montana visiting Pornhub and other Aylo-owned sites like Redtube or Brazzers are now greeted by a video of performer Cherie DeVille, and a handful of paragraphs, telling them their states are now blocked.

Aylo began blocking access in the states last week, according to reporting from multiple outlets including The Fayetteville Observer and KRTV in Great Falls, Montana.

Despite the company’s safety claims, Aylo was recently fined $1.8 million by the federal government for allegedly willfully hosting videos of sex trafficking victims.

Louisiana, Utah, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Virginia have passed similar laws, prompting Pornhub to block access in those states as well.

Meanwhile, Texas passed its own identification law, currently under appeal in the Fifth Circuit, that also requires adult film sites to show unsubstantiated warnings about the health risks of watching porn.

Correction January 2nd, 2024, 5:23PM ET: A previous version of this article implied Pornhub currently used device identifiers for age verification; we’ve updated to reflect this has not been confirmed.


The original article contains 464 words, the summary contains 172 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

[-] traches@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

So… the republicans are saying „it’s us or the porn”? That will certainly go well for them

[-] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago
[-] takeda@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Upcoming law: VPN providers are required to track which individual uses VPN and block access for underage one. They will be required to hold all logs of users activities for at least 5 years to have Mike Johnson's son verify.

[-] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Fwiw, pornhubs take on these laws is accurate. The only sites that I can't get to are pornhub proper, xhamster, and a few others. I can still get on straight up studio websites like naughtyamerica and reality kings, etc.

The yarr sites for porn are still very much available, all without a VPN.

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

Pornhub said in its statement that it supports laws that require age verification on devices, as opposed at individual websites. Galey, R-Alamance, said she’s “willing to work with anybody to improve the law and to make it better target what we want to do, which is protect children.” She also said it’s “a little challenging to think that this industry is some kind of great player with clean hands.”

Pretty good chance those hands are covered in lube.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
