Yup. Lots of people pointing out obviously this would be weaponized against LGBTQ folks. But also it just fundamentally bristles with a hostility towards privacy and freedom that runs through the entire project.
Basically the police could raid your house whenever they feel like it under suspicion of possessing pornography and all the evidence they'd need is you're an adult.
We're sorry but we believe you watch porn on that big expensive TV you have, so we're taking that and oh you may be having sex and filming it in the back of your car, so we're taking.. In fact, we're taking your entire house.
For y'know... Increasing the police pension fund or something with seizures... Can't have you doing anything that might consider to be porn making.
Having a smart phone with camera is enough to go. "You make porn on suspicion so we're taking all your stuff."
Just replace drugs with porn. "I don't believe you make enough to buy this..." Then take it.
This will happen to others outside of LGBT+ community here, give them more seizure powers and you find out eventually.
Interview some historians of 19th c American religion about this project 2025 stuff, they will be able to draw a line straight from a particularly virulent form of klan-adjacent protestantism to this document.
A lot of them probably hope that Someone Else will take control and make them give up their filthy habit. At least, that's what they are hoping right now.
Could be. I just know when I drove from CA to TN, I saw more billboards for strip joints and adult stores across TX and OK (bible in every classroom) than anywhere.
As drugs become legal, you need another commonly used vice to make illegal so you can target the users your political coalition demands.
I would be shocked if law enforcement wasn’t explicitly behind the push to criminalize menthol cigarettes.
Menthol, because that's associated with Black smokers. But the beauty of an anti-porn law is, as a justice once remarked, an LEO can't define it but will know it when he sees it. Arrests will be almost entirely pretextual.
Porn is also acceptable to push into the black market. The big players in liquor and gambling are already at the table. Porn isn’t and isn’t nearly as lucrative.
Given that states grant rights where the federal government takes them away, there’s going to be a conflict at some point which will require the suspension of the constitution. That also means the suspension of law an order. A free for all. One states citizens fighting another and perhaps Fed troops
It's just another excuse to use the law against people they don't like in any respect and let it slide against their friends. Going to be a whole lot of shit like this if we give them a chance
