Summary

Project 2025, a manifesto supported by the conservative Heritage Foundation, calls for a ban on pornography, labeling its purveyors as criminals and advocating for strict penalties, including jail time for producers and registered sex offender status for educators distributing it.

The manifesto argues that porn lacks First Amendment protection, framing it as harmful and exploitative.

With a right-leaning Supreme Court, proponents aim to overturn existing protections established in Miller v. California, potentially impacting mainstream media.

Donald Trump has pledged to bring Project 2025 contributors onto his team.

Oh man do I ever hope they ban porn in the US. That would be fucking hilarious.

[-] moon@lemmy.cafe 1 points 4 hours ago

That's a terrible way to think

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

The Americans can choose between Vlad's Russia, CCP China, 1979 Iran and All of the Above. WTF, the fucking Nazis did not ban porn.

[-] spector@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 hours ago

They're doing their own version of Iranian revolution aren't they.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 33 points 10 hours ago

The porn ban will just be the excuse they use to crack down on VPNs so they can implement a full on Chinese style internet censorship program.

[-] nexusband@lemmy.world 12 points 10 hours ago

Goof luck for the companies depending on VPNs...but hey, Donnie's going to crash the economy anyway, so why fret.

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Tank it purposefully and then say he's the only one who can fix it.

[-] Joker@sh.itjust.works 33 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

People who voted for Trump after he won:

The same people after he declare porn illegal.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 21 points 13 hours ago

So? The president is a felon. Crime is legal.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 73 points 16 hours ago

I hope they actually do it. This is like the abortion issue, if they actually go through with it people will be like "What?? How could this happen??"

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 22 points 13 hours ago

Considering the countrybas a whole didn't learn from 2016, there is absolutely no way anything would change.

First president to make pictures of his current wife illegal

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 72 points 18 hours ago

First president to have actual nude photos of his wife available.

If any other president, especially a Democrat, had nudes of their wife it would be a scandal.

But America is so beholden to these idiots that it doesn't even matter to anyone.

Doesn't this proposal also make anyone who participates in the production of porn into a criminal?

Is the first Lady going to get arrested for her involvement in the creation of porn?

[-] Squorlple@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago

Historically, you can’t be charged for crimes you committed before the law criminalizing them was passed. However, precedence and fair application of the law have lost all meaning so you could be arrested, but she wouldn’t.

Good luck! Literally all his fan base are probably rabid porn junkies.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 12 points 9 hours ago

Ironically, they're also significantly more likely to watch transgender porn. People are weird and stupid.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago

I mean invest in VPN stocks then?

Do you want angry fat basement dwellers to rise up? Take away their porn. Let's see how this plays out.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

Half of them have heart attacks walking up the stairs and the other half turn to ash when touched by sunlight.

I guess I gotta do my part and jack off twice a day or more to get the best of the porn we still have.

[-] SwampYankee@mander.xyz 135 points 20 hours ago

registered sex offender status for educators distributing it

If a book in your classroom or school library has anything beyond a heterosexual peck on the cheek, congratulations, you're now a sex offender. Not a joke.

Historically speaking people have two things they riot for, safety and comfort. How that comfort manifest varies but pornography is definitely on the same level as whiskey, and the United states has had a rebellion on that.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 24 points 15 hours ago

THE GOONER REBELLION, WOOOOO!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago

And somehow we just elected a guy who has no qualms with turning the military and the police on its own citizens despite legal doctrine.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 25 points 16 hours ago

Well luckily the military has a good chance of not listening to him, atleast in my opinion. The police on the other hand are more of a threat, though not an insurmountable one.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 points 12 hours ago

The liberal officers are going to resign in protest then pat themselves on the back and call it integrity.

Then the fascists are going to follow orders.
