    Texas “effectively” banned non abusive porn. You think that those abuse and rape porn sites care about yet another law broken? And that it effectively keeps people in Texas from seeing any of it?

    The only thing banning porn does is benefit abusers.

      The ban is yet another example of how out of touch the geriatrics are with technology. The only companies that would ever comply with the ban are American based websites that fear the reach of a u.s. government. In other words, that ban has about as much chance of actually banning porn as I do of stopping rain by yelling at the clouds. All it does is push people to weird foreign/non regulated sites with the weirdest shit imaginable on it. It’s literally doing the exact opposite of what’s intended.

      Not to mention it is 100% avoidable if you just have a VPN…

        I wonder when it will get to the point where these states mandate whitelists of websites at the ISP level. . I’m sure that’s in Project 2025 somewhere.

      Also it’s a good way to not support US based porn. Russian sites don’t give a shit how old you are.
