Ken Paxton, as a born and bred Texan I feel comfortable in saying you and your cronies can go fuck yourself. Paxton and Abbott are among the worst things to happen to this state.
Hey now, don't forget Ted Cruz!
Can't forget about Fled Cruz
The Paxton's were family friends when I was growing up. We'd drive out there and visit, and my brother and I would always play "jedi vs sith" with their son tucker where they'd team up on me, and I'd always lose, lol. I also remember canvassing for Ken with my parents back when he was running for state congress or something. It is so surreal to see what Ken has become. My parents won't talk about him. Fuck that guy.
Seconded
It’s going to be harder for him to fuck himself without Chaturbate.
I wonder how this would apply to the Fediverse. Is Texas going to sue individual instance owners if someone posts some boobs?
Hey Paxton. Come at me bro! boobies
And here's a pair of tits to go with them!
They belong to a real nutcracker
(I suspect more ornithologists need to grow up…but I’m glad they didn’t.)
Hey that needs a NSFW tag! /s
Yeah probably. How long until every site with user generate content starts banning texas?
In the worst case, it’ll be something like piracy communities. You can bully lots of small instance owners, but there’s always going to be someone who’s willing to host it someplace where enforcement is lax.
Texas should go after Twitter.
Chaturbate is doing "substantial business" in Texas, which gives Texas the ability to regulate them. If you aren't doing business in Texas (charging people for services), then you have nothing to worry about.
Do they have a physical presence in the state, though? If they don’t, then Texas has no authority whatsoever over them. A physical presence is the only way kowtowing to these fascists makes any financial sense.
Laws don't apply the same way. Paxton was suing other states and out-of-state hospitals for surgery information related to gender. They've gone off the deep end
People should really think about how much money is wasted on bullshit laws.
Imagine all the advances in science we could be making, all the homes we could be building, and all the children we could be feeding.
But instead, we spend money to ensure rich people can make more money.
It's fucked.
Nah, this is for political points, not utility. They're only interested in the big ones who can get them some money, which ~~definitely won't be wasted on blackjack and hookers~~ will be used for political campaigning.
Just block the state lol
Every Texan that gets blocked from porn should burn a church, until things even out again
Or a Republican state representative (figuratively)
Literally!….in Minecraft
I could get behind this.
So doggy style, eh?
What's next onlyfans patreon and twitter? Paying for porn is a common use on these platforms. Maybe visa/mc too for processing the payments? This is all really stupid. Being free is starting to sound expensive.
This is Republicans' idea of small government
We're in the porn age and nobody told me?
Hopefully 4chan will receive a fine as well
What is chaturbate? And am i missing out?
