Pornography is damaging to society/to those that view it. https://news.byu.edu/intellect/pornography-use-at-any-level-... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9922938/
Any studies from non-religious sources?

>. the research found that pornography use by men or women at any level negatively impacted romantic relationships What if you don't have any, and nowhere to get? What if you're 14 and realistically any serious romantic relations are many years in the future for you?
Do you think a 14 year old should be regularly viewing porn? Is that really the argument you are trying to make?
Isn't this just the codification of the long standing status quo? X has allowed nudity for as long as I've been a user.
Some NSFW based accounts regularly complain of shadowbanning and weird behaviours compared to SFW accounts

This could be a fascinating development to watch actually. Made much more interesting too by the fact that Elon has a lot of business in states like Texas and Florida. X is also increasingly viewed as a "right wing"[1] place, which might make states like Texas a lot more sympathetic to their "free speech" position because they won't feel like it's a "left wing" tactic to poison minds.

Are dedicated porn sites like PornHub and friends considered somehow left wing? Or is it just that their NSFW freedom of speech isn't significant because it's not to the benefit of a billionaire that these politicians happen to like.
> Are dedicated porn sites like PornHub and friends considered somehow left wing?
Not directly no, but since the overlap between right-wing and religious (mostly Christian) are so significant, and many right-wing Christians believe that there is a spritual war going on and that porn is a sin/evil, and it can lead to atheism, and atheism is so frequently associated with left-wing, I think there's some consideration there.

I'm sure that's a factor as well. No (or very, very few) politican of any ilk is going to stand up for Big Porn and risk becoming the porn candidate. Personally I'd sure love to see them at least stand up for Big Porn in the name of free speech, but I'm not expecting it anytime soon.

Man this being downvoted seconds after being posted speaks volumes about how ubiquitous porn sickness on a site supposed to satisfy iNtElLeCtUaL cUrIoSiTy So man cooomers ITT it's just sad.
Citing BYU as a source is the issue as any other conclusion of a paper would run counter to the code of ethics for faculty there. https://policy.byu.edu/view/rank-and-status-policy > Expectations of Professorial and Professional Faculty > 2.1 Faculty Standards > BYU is a private university with unique goals and aspirations rooted in the mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is a faculty membe…
Feel free to disregard byu, because plenty of other studies agree

I think all those factors combine to make them have to be kind of politically neutral.

Is nih.gov a religious source, or was the comment edited after yours?

Past research ([1]) has shown that Twitter disproportionately boosts right-wing political content. Qualitatively, you can find whatever you want there, but Elon Musk's personal connection with and admiration for a number of right-wing individuals makes them stand out. In particular, Twitter under Musk has a clear pattern of not applying its moderation policies to high-profile accounts; in the current year, it is righ…
