Republicans so fuckin' stupid they're trying prohibition again, but this time with porn.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Well, at least they don't already have an issue with organized pedophile rings operating within their state, right?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I personally can't wait for people to start making porn in the backwoods and running away from the cops while fucking in the bed of their pickups.

shits gonna be wild.

Oh they're coming for everything but alcohol.

Why would they go after themselves.

To quote dear leader who is most definitely implicated and ran his campaign on releasing the Epstein files, "Are we still talking about Epstein!?"

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Every day. Forever.

Prohibition was a failure as a moral crusade but enormously successful as a money making and politicking endeavor.

slapping the hood of the police state: You can fit so many more cops in this thing!

I think they literally will, eventually.

While I won't contribute to their defense funds because they have all the money in the world, I do support them in spirit. You can't beat the porn industry. You can only temporarily inconvenience it.

Suck it, Florida.

My favorite is when the sites just block access to IPs in those states instead of trying to comply with the laws with a message that says "Your state won't let us do business and we refuse to violate your privacy." VPNs gonna see a huge spike in purchases, and lots of angry gooners gonna start writing their representatives as their favorites sites drop off one by one.

In my home town of Houston, the city decided to crack down on the number of topless bars (which developers considered an eyesore). But they still recognized the bigger establishments as lucrative sites for labor exploitation popular with the O&G business community.

So they found a middle ground. There is now a ceiling on licensed venues, with 16 registrations permitted inside city limits. Each club holding a registration must contribute to a $1M pot that's provided to the Houston PD's "anti-sex trafficking" division. This affords police a fund by which they can do "undercover investigation" of establishments.

Everyone wins.

This sounds very much like the mafia wetting their beak.

I wouldn't be surprised if the bouncers are all off duty cops too, or hired from security companies owned by cops. That seems to be a very common arrangement when a business wants to ensure the local department remains friendly.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 12 points 1 day ago

Isn’t this like mainstream advertising for these sites in places they can’t advertise?

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This is disgusting. Does anyone have a list of sites so I can block them all right now?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 day ago

"Oh, those disgusting revenge sites. But there are so many! Which ones!!!"

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's in the title lol. Also new ones pop-up daily especially international ones. Use Bing to find the videos then see the domain they're hosted at and go from there. When searching bing, put xxx in the search as well and turn off the safesearch bs.

Seethe hard Santis.

Meanwhile, Robin L. Rosenberg of the Southern District of Florida is the judge that blocked the release of the Epstein files.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

I feel like porn websites have money and lots of reasons to want to burn Florida.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 50 points 2 days ago

TIL about a bunch of new porn sites cause republicans cant understand the streisand effect.

Only when it comes to policing morality. When it comes to gun violence, fuck them children; they are on the own.

fuck them children

literally, i suppose, in the case of the republicans

or child marriages (legal pedophila), or protecting pedophiles, then they literally fuck the children

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Republicans think of the children a little more than they should.

[–] RDAM_Whiskers@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 day ago

Well now I have some new sites to visit

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

If these companies wanted to spin up a lobbying and PR group, they would have huge reach.

Which would cause other problems down the line, but they'd crush this particular problem.
