weird how the state that claims ultimate patriotism and likes to talk about 'muh freedoms' and all those 'dont tread on me' flags spends so much of its purposefully, very limited legislature time taking away peoples rights.
'patriotic'
It's about their freedom to impair yours. That's religious conservatism 101
Luke 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
Tread all you want, Bible says so.
Freedom to raise their children without porn.
Supervise your kid while they're on the internet. Install nanny filters on their phone and computer. Monitor who they hang out with. If you can't handle raising your kid, you should have thought of that before having them.
They don't have much choice in having kids in Texas 😂
Sure they do. Just don't have sex. Then you won't have kids and won't have to worry about them seeing porn on the internet.
It's simple, if you're not responsible enough to keep your kid off PornHub, you're not responsible enough to have sex. =P
I don't like my children watching anything violent, so you can't watch action movies anymore
My aunt is allergic to peanuts, so you can't eat them anymore
My uncle is racist, so you can't be black anymore
Where does it end?
You vote for dipshits, you have to subscribe to a vpn service to whack off. It's the circle of life.
If I ran a VPN I'd say, "Okay cool. Still not letting you access PornHub."
Why?
If people don't feel the pain of fascism why would they do anything about it?
Joke's on you. Porn isn't healthy.
You'd be better off looking at porn than spending your energy trolling this thread.
Masturbation doesn't lead to STDs, so I think it's pretty healthy.
In fact it leads to lower rates of prostate cancer as well.
The initial pitch will require ID to access porn but then it'll branch out to any site that hosts NSFW content. Before you know it, every website you access will end up having your internet activities directly tied to you via your ID, and they can further use that data to train whatever models they got cookin up next.
Hmmm, I think I'll drop a $$ on VPN companies stock...
How long until VPNs are banned
I think banning vpns like several borderline dictatorships have is still a little far fetched. This would have a negative impact on companies who use them who are the ones that tell congress what to do. Although they could always make it so that large corporations can get certain exceptions and legally using a vpn is just a matter of how much money they fork over to the fcc for a license or something.
It's currently illegal to transmit encrypted data over most non-2.4Ghz radio frequencies unless you're a telecommunication company. No one even cares enough to get mad about this. I imagine they'd eventually reuse whatever playbook they used to accomplish this.
So if I use my cell network to visit SSL website I'm breaking the law?
Telecommunication companies have special licensing that allows them to offer mobile data without following all the same rules they would otherwise have to follow if they used different frequencies. Cell phone network data isn't regulated the same as other frequencies.
If you wirelessly access an SSL website over an amateur packet radio system, you are breaking the law. Almost no one ever does this but it's still bullshit that it's not allowed.
Good luck. This would be a tough one to enforce.
If people think porn is too "accessible", look up New York Time's Square in the 70s and early 80s. The whole town was practically porn central.
I'm an engineer but I really want to be a world famous pornographer or pornstar.
Just do it!
I want to! But it just doesn't pay enough. I'm going to have to turn to directing high quality porn when I'm in my 60s. Probably remote work. Meanwhile I need to keep sharpening my directing skills by watching proper examples and analyzing them.
There will be a lot of sexually-frustrated violence happening in Yexas within the next week or two.
I only go to pornhub as a last resort, plenty of other better porn sites out there.
All porn is bad.
You're not looking at the right porn my friend.
The Bible is where I get my BDSM kicks.
Knowing Ron I could see it.
Go for it Florida
Buy VPN shares
If you are in Texas just use a VPN..
I can only assume hundreds of thousands of mostly young female actresses rely on pornhub for their income stream. And people think Republicans don't have a women problem.
You think these women look forward to coming into work?
Porn is unhealthy and parents have a tough time raising their children without early exposure.
The rest of us shouldn't have our freedoms restricted because of irresponsible parenting. You'd think people who place such a premium on personal responsibility wouldn't need the government to help them raise their kids.
Plenty of unhealthy things we don't age restrict. Although I look at porn more than I eat hamburgers nobody would stop me from eating one every day, and I'll be dead from eating hamburgers way before I die of porn.
