While I won't contribute to their defense funds because they have all the money in the world, I do support them in spirit. You can't beat the porn industry. You can only temporarily inconvenience it.

Suck it, Florida.

Republicans so fuckin' stupid they're trying prohibition again, but this time with porn.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 25 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

This is disgusting. Does anyone have a list of sites so I can block them all right now?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 hour ago

"Oh, those disgusting revenge sites. But there are so many! Which ones!!!"

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

I feel like porn websites have money and lots of reasons to want to burn Florida.

Meanwhile, Robin L. Rosenberg of the Southern District of Florida is the judge that blocked the release of the Epstein files.

Only when it comes to policing morality. When it comes to gun violence, fuck them children; they are on the own.

fuck them children

literally, i suppose, in the case of the republicans

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago

or child marriages (legal pedophila), or protecting pedophiles, then they literally fuck the children

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 44 points 22 hours ago

[–] RDAM_Whiskers@lemmy.ml 14 points 18 hours ago

If these companies wanted to spin up a lobbying and PR group, they would have huge reach.

Which would cause other problems down the line, but they'd crush this particular problem.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 15 hours ago

I gotta admit, I’d love to see what their lobbying could accomplish.

[–] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 36 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Two problems here.
One is jurisdiction. If the website is not incorporated in Florida, has no offices in Florida, and does not use Florida servers, why should they be subject to Florida law? Everything they do is completely legal in their home jurisdiction.
This sort of enforcement is basically impossible on the internet. If anybody can access any website from anywhere, how is the website supposed to keep up with hundreds or thousands of changing jurisdictions each with their own legal requirements? And why should they have to?

Second is interstate commerce clause of the Constitution. It reserves to the federal government the right to regulate interstate commerce. I would think that demanding that a out of state business change its business practices would fall afoul of that.

Now it could be argued that since the website advertises in Florida and accepts sign ups from Florida residents, that they do business in Florida. However the simple solution there would be to disable payment for Florida residents.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 24 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

In 2018 SCOTUS ruled that states can require businesses with no physical presence or relationship to a state to collect sales tax for the state, effectively invalidating the Constitution’s Interstate Commerce Clause. Florida may be hoping this precedent along with a corrupt, illegitimate fascist majority in SCOTUS, will allow states to project their own local laws onto the entire country.

[–] fuzzzerd@programming.dev 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

So that's why every site started charging sales tax at the same time. Wonderful.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Yup. When it comes to fucking the people the SCOTUS votes in unison.

You know what'll also protect the children? Releasing the Epstein files.

Time to start small-time porn groups.
Ask your friends for their nudes.

Meanwhile Nascar literally has races sponsored by BlueChew and every other fucking ad during a race is for bent dick disease, all on easily accessed channels.

[–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Don't forget the sports betting and poker apps! Good clean wholesome gambling! Sponsoring your favorite athletic entertainment!

[–] greybeard@feddit.online 10 points 1 day ago

And all the alcohol ads.

[–] sturger@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago

Ah. That explains it. Conservative pols are extorting porn sites for donations.
