They’re probably not doing it just because, my guess is that it’s to appeal to the fasci- I mean- conservative government heading the US right now. And yes, I am aware that they are probably going to restrict more stuff as time goes on if they’re unimpeded. I’m just looking for a solid motive

    It’s all in in black and white in Project 2025.

    Ban porn > Categorize LGBT as Porn > LGBT is crime > LGBT in prison

    Religious zealots and bigots were given the reigns. This is what we get.

    Regarding payment processing specifically, they are under direct pressure from religious lobbyists and are folding like a cheap suit.

      Which side of the political spectrum are currently forcing age verification all over the internet, especially on porn sites - conservatives or “progressives”? Hint: it’s not who you’re saying it is.

      You guys need to move on from the project 2025 rubbish - no one bought it before the election, and still banging on about it only harms the democrats already in-the-toilet credibility.

      In the USA Porn isn’t banned, being gay isn’t “classified as porn” (whatever that means, it makes no sense). Still haven’t seen those concentration and death camps you’ve been yapping about for years either 🤣

      The “progressive left” are the ones on their way to criminalising porn. Have a look at what’s going on in the UK under their increasingly far left government for a glimpse at what the party you support wants.

        The conservatives introduced the online safety act. Labour enforced it, but labour haven’t been a progressive party in the UK for decades.

        “Increasingly far left government”, tell me you know absolutely nothing about the subject, without saying you know absolutely nothing about the subject.

      You’re right except the zealots and bigots are the ones being propagandized to support the legislation. The reason for it has always been for expanded prison labor. That’s where America’s slavery thrives. Don’t play into the culture war while corporations and the owning class take everything from us.

      A certain section of society watched The Handmaid’s Tale (they wouldn’t read it because books are bad) and thought: “yes please, let’s have some of that thank you very much” this is the thin end of the wedge.

        Which section is that, the one that wants to take away women’s rights by letting males into their spaces, and who constantly award women of the year awards and women’s representative spots to males?
