This news article on a Fox affiliate site only mentions Pornhub. Did this originally link elsewhere? edit: e621 is certainly doing this; this is from their front page right now: Dec 31st: Due to the current legal situation in North Carolina and the uncertainty surrounding it, we will be blocking access to e621.net from North Carolina until we can consult with our legal counsel on this matter. We did not come to this…

Given that access to porn is strongly negatively correlated with violent rape across most cultures I've seen studied, I'm not sure you should be cheering this.
How do you know this is true?
"Lastly, pornography use has been associated with an increased likelihood of committing both verbal and physical acts of sexual aggression.
With the correlation being significantly stronger for verbal rather than physical aggression, but both were evident."

I am going to say something that is not popular to say but has been on my mind for a while. Why is it bad for our kids to see two humans have sex? When you say porn is bad for kids, I think you mean that mainstream porn can be misogynistic, addictive (like most pleasurable things), and give people unrealistic body standards and expectations about what sex is like. All of which I agree with. Okay, so, if I had a websi…
> Why is it bad for our kids to see two humans have sex? Because porn is not sex. In the same way that candies are not food.
Also by definition porn /is/ visual depictions of sex.

I think a reasonable analogy would be putting TV's playing porn outside of a school and covered them with a cloth and sign that said adults only. What would my liability be then? And I also sell advertising on the side of the tvs?
I think a reasonable analogy would be putting TV's playing porn outside of a school and covered them with a cloth and sign that said adults only. Well, no. Anybody entering or leaving the school would have no choice but to see the covered TVs. Whereas porn is generally not showing up online unless you are looking for it. Strongly suggest dropping the analogies entirely. Like many digital concepts this just will never…
That I do think is pretty messed up, and potentially something to pass legislation about. Some people want to opt out of pornography altogether, and their choice should be respected. As should the choice of people who do consume pornography, but aren't choosing to do so at this moment.

Finally, I'm a MAP and I use (drawn) cub pornography as a way to alleviate my sexual urges, helping me remain a productive non-dangerous member of society. Are you really saying that for someone like me porn has no positive purposes?

It is not, it is the exact opposite. "Lastly, pornography use has been associated with an increased likelihood of committing both verbal and physical acts of sexual aggression.

Though porn advertisements can pop up when you're just minding your own business. The other day a friend of mine was doing perfectly mundane research, and they were shown ads with full nudity. (Yes, I know, they should install an ad blocker, that's not the point.) That I do think is pretty messed up, and potentially something to pass legislation about. Some people want to opt out of pornography altogether, and their…
I saw a bunch of super explicit stuff, unbidden, on my Twitter/X feed the other week and it made me not want to use it any more.
I love porn, but it absolutely should not be shown to me without my consent.

While I strongly disagree with this NC law, and others, your analogy is a bad one. As a society I think we've accepted that some things (cigarettes, alcohol, sex, etc.) should be restricted from children. That's a far cry from requiring ID every time I go to the grocery store. But, as long as I've been alive, you have had to show ID to purchase alcohol, and the sky hasn't fallen. Again, I think these types of laws ar…
You had to show ID to buy porn magazines, go in a strip club or even the adult video rental room. It's pretty insane that we have no check for an unlimited amount of free porn with all kinds of extremes. It fucks up a lot of kids (and adults). Showing porn to a random kid on the street would have you catch a charge if not something worse, but somehow on the Internet it's just fine?
Why should minors be allowed on the internet unsupervised at all?
