I'm fucking sick of these laws. Since when was the "party of small government" all about creating literal nanny states?
It always has been, just like how they claim to be fiscally responsible while bringing back trickle down economics to destroy government funding.
They have lied constantly for the nearly 3 decades I have been able to vote.
They take money away from education and remove laws/rules about lying. We're at the top of a mountain of shit built by conservatives and we're going to start sinking.
Since forever?... The party of small government is a slogan... No more true than the wings you get from drinking red bull
Because they have never been the party of small government. You don't need to be the party of small government if you're the party of credulous rubes.
Small enough to fit in your living room, bed room, computer room, doctor's office, library, kid's classroom, etc.
Laughing as I picture spez and company trying to figure out what percentage of reddit is porn
I mean Reddit has been trending in the direction to remove NSFW content completely from their site. A couple more laws like this would probably give them the ammo needed to say goodbye.
Tumblr tried to do that.
Tried
And succeeded. Unfortunately, they also succeeded in killing their own platform at the same time.
That's bound to go well.
He's gonna have to run a lot more ads to get those numbers down.
I'd wager more than 25%
The anti gay part is the whole point. They're not protecting kids, they're protecting Christian control over kids (pay attention to who's actually doing all the child sex abuse)
This bill is unconstitutional, but we'll have to wait and see if the insurrection-appointed SCOTUS will do their job or if this is like a gifted RV sort of ruling.
How will verification be done? Are they making the websites foot the bill for verification, which pornhub is super against, or are they going to make a centralized device verification, like how Louisiana did, allowing its residents to access pornhub again?
How is the 25% decided? Public content or private, like a Dropbox system? 25% by file size, length (how are pictures counted here), or just per item (would a gallery or picture be the item here)?
These legislatures know NOTHING about technology and how it all works and are just doing this for censorship and LGBTQ+ discrimination.
"Are you over 18?"
"Yep!"
I'm 124 years old. Assuming the website lets you enter 1900 as the birth year.
I wouldn't be so sure, in some countries they want your drivers license or credit card info lol.
There are some sites I don't use anymore because of these changes
Going to repost this
They want to ban it nationwide
Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered

So, holding onto all those old Playboy magazines can be considered an investment. My wife can't argue that!
Seems pretty easy to work around.
~~If a porn site has 10,000 videos, just add 2,501 non porn videos (just use public domain stuff) and make a button to hide those. Scale those numbers up/down as needed.~~
Just add a bunch of junk LLM-generated videos to pad out the content so that the number of actual porn videos remains 25% of the total. Then just provide a button to hide those AI-generated junk videos.
No, they'd need 30,001 non-porn videos.
Are there even that many NON-porn videos on the internet?
Yes, but they're all of cats.
Perfect! This site contains 100% pussy!
Edibles and math don't mix for me, lol
Still, just host 30,001 public domain videos or let some LLM generate videos automatically to keep the ratio in check.
I'm all about malicious compliance for stupid laws like this.
It also calls being gay “sexual conduct”
Okay, as long as it's illegal for everyone else other than asexual people to exist as well.
Get ready for the real life lesson 😉. Mamma and Daddy are going to have to explain all sorts of stuff about birds and bees.
Daddy, what is a DP gangbang? Mom, my BF wants a threesome, is that a soda? No, we don't have sex, we only lick.
It's going to be perfect! And then those sexual retards are going to migrate to LA one day. Or maybe they go to Vegas for their wedding.
Seems like I have to colour in my VPN map further
Article is pay-walled. Does it say how many legislators voted for it?
I highly doubt the democratic governor would sign this bill. Does it have enough to override a veto?
While the Kansas state legislature is almost entirely Republican, they don't tend to override the governor's veto too frequently as they are not as lock step due to having all the power.
Without checking the numbers, this seem like the kind of thing they would let the governor's veto atand so they can use it against her in the next election.
