Summary

Project 2025, a manifesto supported by the conservative Heritage Foundation, calls for a ban on pornography, labeling its purveyors as criminals and advocating for strict penalties, including jail time for producers and registered sex offender status for educators distributing it.

The manifesto argues that porn lacks First Amendment protection, framing it as harmful and exploitative.

With a right-leaning Supreme Court, proponents aim to overturn existing protections established in Miller v. California, potentially impacting mainstream media.

Donald Trump has pledged to bring Project 2025 contributors onto his team.

The porn ban will just be the excuse they use to crack down on VPNs so they can implement a full on Chinese style internet censorship program.

[-] nexusband@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

Goof luck for the companies depending on VPNs...but hey, Donnie's going to crash the economy anyway, so why fret.

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Tank it purposefully and then say he's the only one who can fix it.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 67 points 19 hours ago

I hope they actually do it. This is like the abortion issue, if they actually go through with it people will be like "What?? How could this happen??"

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 20 points 16 hours ago

Considering the countrybas a whole didn't learn from 2016, there is absolutely no way anything would change.

And then 2 years pass, and they have completely who banned porn, and why it’s the mistake of Democrats.

So? The president is a felon. Crime is legal.

[-] Squorlple@lemmy.world 172 points 22 hours ago

First president to make pictures of his current wife illegal

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 65 points 21 hours ago

First president to have actual nude photos of his wife available.

If any other president, especially a Democrat, had nudes of their wife it would be a scandal.

But America is so beholden to these idiots that it doesn't even matter to anyone.

[-] ech@lemm.ee 23 points 20 hours ago

There are lots of things they do that're scandalous. That's not one of them. There's already enough puritanical bullshit fucking up the US. It's about time some of it were left in the past.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 18 points 16 hours ago

Remember when the right had a meltdown over Michelle Obama’s bare arms.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

isn’t that her second amendment right though?

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 12 points 17 hours ago

Calling out hypocrisy isn't puritanical.

registered sex offender status for educators distributing it

If a book in your classroom or school library has anything beyond a heterosexual peck on the cheek, congratulations, you're now a sex offender. Not a joke.

[-] Glide@lemmy.ca 61 points 23 hours ago

Oh boy, I can't wait for abstinance to be taught as the only form of sexual education in America.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

That was mine... In the early 00s. And again with a guest speaker... In my advanced marketing class... In the late 00s. I will never forget how that lady sat on a desk, explaining with vivid, passionate excitement and lust, how waiting for your life partner to be your first time is, moans and quivers, so good~

The fuck, Smith, I thought we were going to fuck around and watch movies while you go "make some copies" only to never return, like every other day. The fuck is this shit. Even your own kid in this class is visibly distraught and confused. Poor guy is fucking scarred for life.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 51 points 22 hours ago

I'm expecting them to go even further, and just stop doing sex education period.

Historically speaking people have two things they riot for, safety and comfort. How that comfort manifest varies but pornography is definitely on the same level as whiskey, and the United states has had a rebellion on that.

THE GOONER REBELLION, WOOOOO!

And somehow we just elected a guy who has no qualms with turning the military and the police on its own citizens despite legal doctrine.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 21 points 19 hours ago

Well luckily the military has a good chance of not listening to him, atleast in my opinion. The police on the other hand are more of a threat, though not an insurmountable one.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 7 points 15 hours ago

The liberal officers are going to resign in protest then pat themselves on the back and call it integrity.

Then the fascists are going to follow orders.

Good thing we spent the last 25 years giving the police surplus military equipment.

Do you want angry fat basement dwellers to rise up? Take away their porn. Let's see how this plays out.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

Half of them have heart attacks walking up the stairs and the other half turn to ash when touched by sunlight.

They're doing their own version of Iranian revolution aren't they.

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

I guess I gotta do my part and jack off twice a day or more to get the best of the porn we still have.
