Donald Trump's election win could lead to porn being banned
newsweek.com

Summary

Project 2025, a manifesto supported by the conservative Heritage Foundation, calls for a ban on pornography, labeling its purveyors as criminals and advocating for strict penalties, including jail time for producers and registered sex offender status for educators distributing it.

The manifesto argues that porn lacks First Amendment protection, framing it as harmful and exploitative.

With a right-leaning Supreme Court, proponents aim to overturn existing protections established in Miller v. California, potentially impacting mainstream media.

Donald Trump has pledged to bring Project 2025 contributors onto his team.

Oh man do I ever hope they ban porn in the US. That would be fucking hilarious.

That's a terrible way to think

If you don’t think the incel groups that are super pro trump getting their porn privileges revoked isn’t funny as fuck, you’re wrong.

Incels do not consume legal porn. That why they are so fucked up.

As hard as you try you can never stop people from posting porn on the internet. It would be as big of a disaster as the war on drugs.

A law that virtually everyone breaks and is easily selectively enforced is extremely valuable to authoritarian regimes. It's a wildcard to imprison whoever they want.
