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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

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.
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?

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.
There will be a lot of sexually-frustrated violence happening in Yexas within the next week or two.
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.
I only go to pornhub as a last resort, plenty of other better porn sites out there.
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?
