Administrators rawTOP Posted June 28 Author Administrators Report Posted June 28 The Supreme Court ruled a few days ago in support of Texas’ age verification law. This means that all the legal challenges of AV laws are basically dead. Age verification will continue and may get worse. In reading the commentary on a porn industry discussion board it seems SCOTUS has created a distinction between “obscenity” and “obscene for children”. That’s a big problem. All conservative states have to do now is make laws of what they think is harmfully obscene for kids and all sorts of content can be restricted - such as all LGBT content. Others in the industry think a federal AV law is next. At that point I’ll need to block the entire US. And with the UK being blocked soon - that would be an existential crisis for the site. There’s some debate in the industry as to whether the <33% rule (that protects social media) will stand with the new “obscene for children” concept - if it’s obscene how can it ever be OK? If you’ve voted Republican in the past 10 years - all of this is on you… 1 1 1 Quote

PozBearWI Posted July 2 Report Posted July 2 How close are we to having more blocked states than open states? Quote
a2nudist Posted 4 hours ago Report Posted 4 hours ago Hello guys, I was just in Florida for the past few days visiting a friend. I have not been in Florida for a long time. I was really shocked when I could not bring up Breeding Zone or any porn sites. My friend I was visiting is quite elderly and long past any interest in sex. Plus, I didn't necessarily want to bring it up that I'm into more kinky sex and the types of websites I frequent. What I did notice is that I could still do Scruff and Grindr from my phone. But nothing worked on my laptop. What do guys who live in Florida do for porn? I had considered Florida for retirement due to no state income tax. However, i would not like not being able to read this website or watch porn when I wanted in my retirement years. Anyone from Florida have this experience? Thanks. Quote
