Anyone know if this is true or not?

    I’m all in for banning pornographic content but if their intentions is anything else than that then I am all against it.

    FYI: I have no idea what the hell is going on, I don’t follow the news, I just randomly opened lemmy then stumbled upon this post, I didn’t read the whole article, just a paragraph or 2.

      Very shocking to me that a conservative would barge in with a strong conservative opinion but not know what’s going on and having barely tried to find out.

      Fuck off. Just don’t consume it, idiot.

      If you are worried about your kids getting exposed to it, be a better parent.

      The issue isn’t so much that they’re banning pornographic content, it’s the fact that there is no possible definition of “pornographic” that people can agree on, and every attempt at trying to do this in the past has always been simply an attempt by lawmakers to legislate what you can and can’t enjoy - IE: state approved media that doesn’t go against power. We had many court cases about this in the US, they always have ended siding against those trying to censor what people can and can’t look at.

      “Porn” is like physics. You can call almost anything porn from certain vantage points, so an open-ended policy that allows those in control to decide what’s porn or not allows them to control what you think in a very real way.

        I agree with your point but also what the hell, why is this considered a normal well adjusted thing to say…

        (second quote from different person)

        I’m all in for banning pornographic content

        Why? What is the flimsy, unscientific, puritan christian conservative reason and why is it ok for people to force it on everybody else?

          Yeah, banning it is wild. I could understand setting it to opt-in, like a lot of websites do for adult content, but removing it entirely is just backwards and hateful.

          I don’t know which of us you’re replying to, you seem to be replying to both me and the person I replied to?

          I’m saying it’s actually fine if a privately owned company wants to change whatever content they provide, it happens all the time and nobody bats an eye, but this isn’t that, this is an action by a government to broadly crack down on even what private companies can and cannot do. This is a massive problem that isn’t about porn, it’s about government overreach and government censorship, we have constitutional laws about such things… or had, I am not sure if that’s even a thing anymore.

      it’s not about porn, it’s about setting a precedent to ban any undesirable content, like trans healthcare resources, sources that show our unsavory history as a society, and literally anything they could want.

      Also, criminalizing porn just makes people go to the black market for that sort of thing.
