What the hell is their problem? The party of “freedom.” Weren’t they the ones yelling about a nanny state a decade ago or two?
If you don’t like porn, don’t watch it. Freedom for me, freedom for you.
Some places in the world its already banned, so its not surprising
Oh don’t worry. There’s already a VPN ban in regards to tiktok on a federal level. Won’t be hard for them to extend it to porn. God i hate politicians so much
You know what the ignorant electorate here says, “better a Republican”
For all intents and purposes, these VPNs will cover your browsing activities.
Yeah, but there are better options out there
-
Nord’s heavy advertising is enough to give me unease
-
Surfshark (which is owned by the same parent as NordVPN) requires you to install a root certificate
-
ExpressVPN may collect data on behalf on the CCP (its base of ops in Hong Kong doesn’t allay that concern), probably has sponsorships with far-right nutjobs like Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, and Dinesh D’Souza (among many others)
You can pay nordvpn with crypto. All you need is an email address.
The Dems literally already do all of the things you are all accusing R’s of on this site, hence the November results.
Nothing blocked
Just the hub knows it’s money is made from kids
Other sites are included now
They didn’t ban it. They’re requiring sites to soon have age verification. Pornhub doesn’t want that so it blocked access to Texas residents. You can still get on a number of other p*** sites.
Dude, considering the poor voter turnout in our state, if this is an issue that get’s people to the voting booths, then embrace it and celebrate it. Don’t gatekeep voter outrage. Let them get angry. Stoke that fire, and maybe our blue asses might finally make some headway.
Whatever inspires people to actually vote is the most important issue. It varies from person to person. This could be a big issue for a lot of people.
Yeah fuck the freedom of speech!!
Why do you care what motivates folks to vote? As long as it lights a fire under their ass and they show up in November, stop gatekeeping. Folks are allowed to prioritize different issues, even if they might seem trivial to others. Instead of worrying about what drove them to vote, just encourage these newly outraged folks to vote.
We need all of the help we can get if we want to make any sort of changes in Texas.
wtf, nothing in this bill is about people wanting to watch child porn.
They’re trying to prevent children from watching porn, which is an admirable goal, but it’s implementation is trampling the rights and privacies of adults by requiring sites to use a digital ID process that has no guarantee of security, from hackers or from overzealous attorneys general.
No one is saying you have that right … there! All better.
Are you ok?
Yeah that’s not what this is. Abbot and company have shown time and time again that they do not actually care about children.
Lmao … The state that lets kids get shot to death in schools, refuses to expand Medicade to kids of the working poor and the state that turned down millions in federal dollars to feed poor kids over the summer???
That state?
And you think this law (that is useless at stopping kids from accessing porn) is about “protecting kids mental health”?
Sounds like someone was educated in Texass. 
You don’t have the moral high ground here … you are just incapable of understanding the problem.
It is, he did it! The crime formerly known as “rape” is now “single-party consent sex”.

If we don’t process the kits, the numbers go down. Easy peasy.
