We definitely don't have a global epidemic of porn addiction or anything.

Wish they'd block that degenerate shit everywhere, but hey, I'm sure it will be fine eventually when civilization collapses from the various pressures pushing it that way.

Ain't no panic like a moral panic. Careful you don't clutch those pearls too hard.

If you consider that pornographic that's your call

Most would consider a facial to be a sex act, and most would consider any depiction of a sex act pornographic. That doesn't mean it was particularly interesting porn, but lumping it in with porn is pretty reasonable. That is, after all, why it was modded.

I'll argue the current push to create more gamblers will cause more problems than porn.

Probably, but I wouldn't really consider either to be harbingers of society's collapse. They're problems, certainly, but in the grand scheme of climate change, an explosive cost of living crisis, and the imminent collapse of the labour market due to runaway automation, they don't really amount to much.

Strictly speaking, TX passed a law that required adult content sites to validate ID's for TX residents and PornHub opted to just block TX rather than comply. I don't really see that as a free speech violation as it is a massive privacy violation. I also see it as being a largely meaningless law for all the other reasons stated in this thread.

It's not strictly an infringement of free speech, but enough other states have tried similar things and yielded the same result that I don't think there's any chance that those proposing the law didn't expect this outcome. They're in a position where they can claim they didn't censor it, but there's functionally very little difference between censorship and what they did do.
