Idaho is starting a registry for at-risk men with erections, to prevent impure thoughts. You need to send a picture of your dick, where it will be validated by an evangelical priest.

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.

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

Soon they’ll start recording you jerking it to cross reference with previous sessions as identity confirmation.

[–] Goun@lemmy.ml 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, they know what parts of what videos you watch, your favorite keywords, time/days patterns, location, I'd say they can train AI on that data

Me: This is America.

Pornhub: This content is not available in your state due to ID verification legislation.

My VPN: This is Germany.

[–] adm@lemm.ee 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My favorite small example of this is trying to watch a video on YouTube. If my VPN is set to United States then im told 'You can't watch this unless you log in.'

I switch to Germany and like magic the video plays. So clearly they didn't need to confirm I wasn't a bot. They just wanted to track my viewing habits.

I don't care if kids see porn.

If that's the worst thing ever, justifying this invasion of privacy, whoop de shit. Let 'em.

There's a lot worse on the internet. There's a lot worse on daytime television. Blood and guts and cults and informercials. Desirable crude entertainment is obviously not worth locking down the internet. I mean for fuck's sake, at least with "four horsemen" excuses, like terrorism and money laundering, people agree that those things are bad.

[–] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 62 points 1 week ago

It's absolutely reprehensible that you think it's okay for a child to see an infomercial

That's what you voted for. You want republican rule taking away your freedoms. Well now you Floridains have what you wanted and voted for. Don't be mad you made your bed and dont like the sheets.

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 32 points 1 week ago (12 children)

Given how close most elections are and the low turnout, I would say at least 40% of voters and 50% of the population didn't vote for this without even having to look at the election results.

At least they owned the liberals, right?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It must be real inconvenient to have to turn on a VPN, it's like a whole button that they have to click, Libs totally owned. Meanwhile the actual weird idiots that voted for this can barely operate a mouse and so they actually do have to suffer the consequences of their own decisions.

[–] hinterlufer@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (7 children)

well yes it's inconvenient to have to pay to pretend to be in another country to access a website

Guilty Canadian Admission:

In my teens I lived in Brockville Ontario near Ogdensburg New York and watched a lot of US channels. The Star Spangled Banner came on at the beginning of the broadcast day for some channels.

For many years, I thought the first line was "Jose can you see"

When I was a kid I thought the "for which it stands" in the national anthem was in reference to a country called "witchistan", which was presumably full of witches.

You are free to be as conservative as you want. What more can you ask for?

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 1 week ago

you're free to be as conservative as the heritage foundation wants you to be.
