You know what'll also protect the children? Releasing the Epstein files.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 81 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, for once, this isn't just a chant. Epstein was the supplier but we have yet to nail his customers to the wall.

Meanwhile Nascar literally has races sponsored by BlueChew and every other fucking ad during a race is for bent dick disease, all on easily accessed channels.

Girls gone wild!?!? What are they making 12 year olds verify their age to jack it to infomercials at 3am?

[–] 0liviuhhhhh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 46 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Its kinda funny how this bill is being introduced under the premise of "protecting children" but Girls Gone Wild is still allowed to operate after getting caught multiple times distributing child pornography

And by funny obviously I mean horrifying

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 34 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

In a state that recently tried removing a bunch of child labor laws.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Wait that's a good point.

If a child works as a porn actor/ess in Florida would they have had protections from the state?

Actually I don't want to know the answer

Probably a dumb question, but if the website servers aren't physically located in Florida, why must the websites follow Florida law?

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 33 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

State prosecution argues if there's access in Florida, the site must follow their laws. These sites need to georestrict access and should have done it the day law went into effect.

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 45 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (6 children)

This is like me saying I have a bucket of books that are illegal in your state but legal in mine. You come to my state and take the books back to yours. Who broke the law?

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 51 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Good luck trying to find any rational in these legislations, there is none. I can still search for "sexy naked sex" and get thousands of explict image results from google in FL. The laws are not protecting kids, but they are embarrassing legal aged adults and putting sites and creators that previously tried to cooperate out of business.

Edit - hell, the fact reddit and X are somehow exempt should say everything. Sites that kids would visit for totally non-explicit purposes and end up exposed to top trending titties.

Easier to target the few dozen major sources than the millions of users for now. But I agree wholeheartedly with the premise. They're not setting up a shop in Florida. They're in entirely different places around the world and Floridians are virtually knocking on their door and taking their digital packages with them back to Florida. Why would the onus be on the server to police the laws local to each client?

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

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 51 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 43 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Time to start small-time porn groups.
Ask your friends for their nudes.

Can I borrow some of your friends, all of mine are ugly.

  1. Appreciate the natural human body as-is. Reject perfection and curated beauty.
  2. To get you must be willing to give.
  3. Some of my friends are indeed very attractive. lol

Two problems here.
One is jurisdiction. If the website is not incorporated in Florida, has no offices in Florida, and does not use Florida servers, why should they be subject to Florida law? Everything they do is completely legal in their home jurisdiction.
This sort of enforcement is basically impossible on the internet. If anybody can access any website from anywhere, how is the website supposed to keep up with hundreds or thousands of changing jurisdictions each with their own legal requirements? And why should they have to?

Second is interstate commerce clause of the Constitution. It reserves to the federal government the right to regulate interstate commerce. I would think that demanding that a out of state business change its business practices would fall afoul of that.

Now it could be argued that since the website advertises in Florida and accepts sign ups from Florida residents, that they do business in Florida. However the simple solution there would be to disable payment for Florida residents.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

In 2018 SCOTUS ruled that states can require businesses with no physical presence or relationship to a state to collect sales tax for the state, effectively invalidating the Constitution’s Interstate Commerce Clause. Florida may be hoping this precedent along with a corrupt, illegitimate fascist majority in SCOTUS, will allow states to project their own local laws onto the entire country.

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

  • Ronnie De Santis

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

Girls gone wild is still in activity? Didn't they lost the lawsuit for coercing all those girls and even have some minor in their videos?

Fuck them

[–] blobchoice@feddit.uk 21 points 3 weeks ago

I did a bit of googling as you unlocked that memory, but it's actually Girls Do Porn.

If anyone hasn't heard of them, you can read about it here https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/03/jane-does-v-girlsdoporn-how-22-millennial-women-brought-down-a-porn-empire/

It's absolutely horrendous and I feel incredibly sorry for these women. It definitely made me feel uncomfortable watching porn for a while.

Solution:

Make a site only available in [insert a privacy-respecting country]

Then anyone else gets redirected to a "This website is not available in your country, please use a VPN and set it to [country]"

???

Profit?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

Band-aid for a gun shot wound.

We need to make the very politicians, activists, etc., who made these kinds of laws possible to fear for their lives.

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.

He'll be running for higher office very soon. He's been in at least one abhorrent headline a week for months. Hope they find the CSAM on his laptop soon so I can stop hearing about this incompetent asshole

LoL STUPID LIBTARD! Republicans LOVE CSAM! Just look at how they Treat Jeffrey Epstein and his BEST FRIEND Donald J Trump!

Unrelated to the article itself, but god fucking damn is that website absolutely absurd. It looks like a shitty campaign website. The sad sad man changed the seal of the office and put an eagle (because books are lame I guess) and "free state of florida" at the bottom like that's a real thing. Can't believe this works on people.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

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