Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

There is literally no way to do this. They're just too stupid to know that.

There's no way to block 100% but if they went full "fire wall of America", they could block enough to the 80% of people who don't know how to use a vpn, it would look like they're doing something.

And then you get the added bonus of blocking all those nasty foreign websites talking about freedom, democracy, equal rights and more!

Tell you what. I just got a couple boxes of canvas. If they do "ban porn," I'll dedicate every one of these brand new canvasses to making erotic paintings out of spite.

And I mean, I'm not even a porn consumer. I just fucking hate fascists.

Look as bad as today is, I've gotten some amount of chuckles imagining my potential role in the future of underground furry porn trading, so thank you.

I live in a state where we now have ID verification laws. It effectively blocks the big players with the quality content.

Same, but here they never bothered enforcing those laws

Oh, a dedicated and motivated set of xtian nationalists sure could make everyone miserable over it. They elect a fascist dumbfuck and people cannot even fap in peace if it were up to them...you know, "freedom" and "small government" and all that.
