I'm sorry, but I find this a bit hilarious. People need a break from that stuff anyway.

My earliest memories of the internet was boobs, and then later a helicopter decapitation.
It's kind of annoying that so many id restrictions focus on porn. Maybe it's not normal for today's kids/teens to come across violent content, compared to people that mightve come across rotten, faces, 4chan, etc. back then.
Don't even act like the SCOTUS upholds the Constitution, they uphold the christian bible now. So unamerican.
it's so shocking that the right-wing's commitment to free speech was entirely performative and predicated on no principle whatsoever
Yes.... Shocking... I am shocked
Coincidentally, I just rewatched this the other night (for like the thousandth time). I feel like it gets more and more poignant (and TLJ's acting impresses me more) as I get older...
And it does kind of apply here. In the film, Jones' character is just at a loss as to "who the hell these people are" after witnessing their apparently nihilistic and seemingly random murder spree.
I feel that in my bones now. Who the fuck are these psychopaths?

SCOTUS working hard to install Taliban 2.0
This is why we gotta ban TikTok!!! \s
Seriously tho I can't believe the dummies who buy into this authoritarian garbage.
Well, here we go. Hold onto your butts, this shit is going to get wild.
there's still porn on usenet.
We're going to see a lot more of these challenges to SCOTUS precedent in the coming years. The Dobbs decision was them stating loud and clear that they will find any excuse to justify their prefud8ced decisions.
You'd think they don't consider that decisions like this will create more Luigi's, ironically enough from their own base.
Noooo haha we we can't fix your real problems that you want us to fix because of how we think some witch hunter in the 1600s relates to the constitution, and politics is just hard and moves slow :(
Anyway, here, we shitcanned the constitution for something pretty much nobody asked for and won't actually fix anything. Enjoy <3
You gotta be a really profoundly uncomfortable, nervous human being to think of sex as bad.
What an absolute sign of weakness.
Or, and hear me out on this one, you're a member of a group, like various other groups, that want to control every aspect of human lives, including sex, to bind them to our little group forever so we can control them even more?
You gotta be a really profoundly uncomfortable, nervous human being
That's an interesting way to say "religious".
Project2025 and it's evangelical backers are a major driver of this prudishness.
They're godsdamned freaks is what they are. Their religion says sex is disgusting and evil. Mine says it's holy and pleasure is sacred. But neither of us should get to decide the law based on what gods we got. I know that. Jewish Americans know that. Hindu Americans know that. Muslim Americans know it too. And I ain't seen Buddhists trying to ban alcohol in any city in America, nor shinto folks trying to divert public school money to preaching about amaterasu. Turns out it's just the Christians round here who don't get that when your religion says you can't do something it means you don't get to do it, but the rest of us are more than free to.

You don't have to think sex is bad to think porn is bad for children and teens.
This Texas law and others like it are bullshit, but making strawman arguments about them isn't helping anything.
Kids are gonna start finding porn the old-fashioned way: randomly coming across discarded magazines at the park. That was my first experience.
Or torrents... It would be funny if this just ended up teaching new generations how to torrent.
Good luck finding a magazine anywhere any more. I assume they can still find it online from random small websites, like in the old days.

"Woods" or "Field" porn was surprising common. I was honestly surprised to hear that was so many of my friends (and my) introduction to porn.
Most people don't realize that porn reproduces naturally in the wild if given the proper habitat, etc.
Guess that's one way to get kids outside these days. Just scater some porn mag pages in the woods, modern-day scavenger hunt.

If we're banning content harmful to children why dont we start with Capitalist propoganda and religious indoctrination :3
I'm calling it right now. They use this as first amendment cover for TikTok.
Notice how we're already asking past the sale with the tacit labeling of "sexual material harmful to minors," with the presupposed declaration that sexual material is automatically harmful to minors.
The all-consuming mission to look at boobies is essentially universal for all pubescent boys from about 12 all the way to the age of majority. This is well known, and none of us came off any the worse despite widespread availability of older brothers' back issues of Hustler, Usenet, dial-up BBS systems, and ultimately the world wide web.
If teens weren't naturally interested in sex where wouldn't been all them teenage pregnancies. Q.E.D.
The all-consuming mission to look at boobies is essentially universal for all pubescent boys from about 12 all the way to the age of majority.
Not true. Some boys also want to look at dicks.
And some genuinely could care less about looking at either.

So we can ban content that is claimed to be harmful to minors but not weapons that actually kill children...
Even in terms of speech, it's ridiculous to claim that boobs are more harmful than a social media diet of assholes claiming women or racial minorities aren't people.

I think Epstein highlighted that there is a much bigger problem going on than some 15 year old looking up “mum gets railed by football team”.
Too bad he's not around to testify. They did a great job of murdering him behind bars.

The vague threat of "think of the children maybe being exposed to sexual things" challenging our first amendment right but it becomes some huge debate if a woman is being harassed/stalked/threatened online.
**they are justififying destroying our rights for their feelings **

Get ready for the slippery slope. Anything conservatives don’t want you to see or read will be placed behind an “identify yourself” firewall.
And they will use the information they collect to blackmail you.
