Two problems here.
One is jurisdiction. If the website is not incorporated in Florida, has no offices in Florida, and does not use Florida servers, why should they be subject to Florida law? Everything they do is completely legal in their home jurisdiction.
This sort of enforcement is basically impossible on the internet. If anybody can access any website from anywhere, how is the website supposed to keep up with hundreds or thousands of changing jurisdictions each with their own legal requirements? And why should they have to?Second is interstate commerce clause of the Constitution. It reserves to the federal government the right to regulate interstate commerce. I would think that demanding that a out of state business change its business practices would fall afoul of that.
Now it could be argued that since the website advertises in Florida and accepts sign ups from Florida residents, that they do business in Florida. However the simple solution there would be to disable payment for Florida residents.
If the customers are still in Florida and they still earn money in Florida, they are still subject to Florida law.
The way they handle conflicting requirements in different regions is to use regional flags. It’s quite simple and it’s been done for a long time in more tightly regulated fields like e.g. online shopping.
If it’s legal to sell weed online in some areas and illegal in others, you can’t just say “Well, our servers are in a region where it’s legal so we send weed all over the world.”
Because they offer their services to people living in Florida.
Same reason as to why you should include VAT on your prices if you sell to EU citizens
xvideo is affiliate of ph, or at elast its parent company. the other 2 are probably the same too. quite interesting florida gop has to go out of thier way to find the more obscure sites mentioned.
Time to start small-time porn groups.
Ask your friends for their nudes.Can I borrow some of your friends, all of mine are ugly.
- Appreciate the natural human body as-is. Reject perfection and curated beauty.
- To get you must be willing to give.
- Some of my friends are indeed very attractive. lol
That just makes the session last longer
Girls gone wild is still in activity? Didn’t they lost the lawsuit for coercing all those girls and even have some minor in their videos?
Fuck them
I did a bit of googling as you unlocked that memory, but it’s actually Girls Do Porn.
If anyone hasn’t heard of them, you can read about it here https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/03/jane-does-v-girlsdoporn-how-22-millennial-women-brought-down-a-porn-empire/
It’s absolutely horrendous and I feel incredibly sorry for these women. It definitely made me feel uncomfortable watching porn for a while.
Prelude to a closed (north korea/russia style) internet?
Don’t forget China-style. But yes.
Unrelated to the article itself, but god fucking damn is that website absolutely absurd. It looks like a shitty campaign website. The sad sad man changed the seal of the office and put an eagle (because books are lame I guess) and “free state of florida” at the bottom like that’s a real thing. Can’t believe this works on people.
You know what’ll also protect the children? Releasing the Epstein files.
I mean, for once, this isn’t just a chant. Epstein was the supplier but we have yet to nail his customers to the wall.
Meanwhile Nascar literally has races sponsored by BlueChew and every other fucking ad during a race is for bent dick disease, all on easily accessed channels.
Don’t forget the sports betting and poker apps! Good clean wholesome gambling! Sponsoring your favorite athletic entertainment!
And all the alcohol ads.
Solution:
Make a site only available in [insert a privacy-respecting country]
Then anyone else gets redirected to a “This website is not available in your country, please use a VPN and set it to [country]”
???
Profit?
Band-aid for a gun shot wound.
We need to make the very politicians, activists, etc., who made these kinds of laws possible to fear for their lives.
Yeah the key there is to invest in shares in a VPN company.
My shithole(ruzzia) is actively trying to shut them down. Now it’s a hefty fine for advertising VPN, and they recently even added law that punishes “search of illegal content”. Whatever the hell they mean by that.
republicans suing republican donors you love to see it
it also means dick since xvideos is french and headquartered in the czech republic
thats where alot of euro-porn is based in
yeah that czechs out
sorry i’ll see myself out
it also means dick
Really?! Where? 👀
Public airport restrooms and the like.
Probably a dumb question, but if the website servers aren’t physically located in Florida, why must the websites follow Florida law?
the companies/sites itself can block the site from being acessed from florida though if they choose. yea if it accesible from florida, they have to follow the legislation there.
block the site from being acessed from florida though if they choose
How? I do not think we know of a reliable way, DNS blocking get bypassed by alternative DNS ( and ISP probably do not have per state DNSes) , IP blocking get bypassed via VPN, etc. They can say they did put in place something but it is like puttimg a fence without walls around, it is just symbolic.
State prosecution argues if there’s access in Florida, the site must follow their laws. These sites need to georestrict access and should have done it the day law went into effect.
Pornhub blocked Texas day one
This is like me saying I have a bucket of books that are illegal in your state but legal in mine. You come to my state and take the books back to yours. Who broke the law?
Good luck trying to find any rational in these legislations, there is none. I can still search for “sexy naked sex” and get thousands of explict image results from google in FL. The laws are not protecting kids, but they are embarrassing legal aged adults and putting sites and creators that previously tried to cooperate out of business.
Edit - hell, the fact reddit and X are somehow exempt should say everything. Sites that kids would visit for totally non-explicit purposes and end up exposed to top trending titties.
SPEZ loves musk, so that makes sense.
Easier to target the few dozen major sources than the millions of users for now. But I agree wholeheartedly with the premise. They’re not setting up a shop in Florida. They’re in entirely different places around the world and Floridians are virtually knocking on their door and taking their digital packages with them back to Florida. Why would the onus be on the server to police the laws local to each client?
Well that’s a really bad example you gave because gun laws explicitly cover that exact case federally. This is more like book banning. Books are banned in your state, not mine, you come and buy them here and take them back there.
Or fireworks. Many states have laws against selling fireworks to state residents, but all you need to do is cross a border or have an out of state license and you can buy them just fine.
More like you see a request coming in from FL and you send them there
Don’t request shit you aren’t allowed to have. My state doesn’t ban me from sending it to you, yours bans you from having it. Tf do I care about your state laws. I don’t live there.
Because they’re serving users in Florida, so they must abide by laws relating to servicing customers there.
I’d argue it’s on the state to figure that out (for better or worse). My site is on a globally connected network, if you don’t want your citizens doing something, you figure it out. It’s not my job.
Well true, but look at the EU.
Girls gone wild!?!? What are they making 12 year olds verify their age to jack it to infomercials at 3am?
They have no idea what kids are capable of overcoming to access porn.
Its kinda funny how this bill is being introduced under the premise of “protecting children” but Girls Gone Wild is still allowed to operate after getting caught multiple times distributing child pornography
And by funny obviously I mean horrifying
We can’t release the Epstein list, but we’re proud to announce the newest Amazon Exclusive release from the Epstein Films catalog!
In a state that recently tried removing a bunch of child labor laws.
Wait that’s a good point.
If a child works as a porn actor/ess in Florida would they have had protections from the state?
Actually I don’t want to know the answer
Not funny like a Woody Allen movie, funny like a Woody Allen marriage
Should be worried about Trump being a child rapist and the Epstein files.
Why not both?
Both what?
Oh thank goodness they didnt name my go to for obtaining porn.
“… and more.”
Þey should enforce age verification to look at DeSantis’ stupid face.
His face is probably the most offensive thing in Florida, at least when a certain someone isn’t at Mar-a-Lago…
(Also: nice thorn!)
alien in a human meatsuit, his wife is equally a strange person too.
Upvote and a salute for Þe use of Þe Þorn character.
except it’s incorrect usage of the thorn lol “they” uses the eð sound
True, but apparently the attempt to resurrect its use uses it for both the voiced and unvoiced dental fricatives where current English usage uses ‘th’ rather than resurrecting both characters.
I upvote brigaded þeir post history for using þ. þanks for your philanþropy.
their and they use eth. thanks and philanthropy use thorn.
although I’m the last few years I’ve heard more and more people saying thanks with eth as well.
🤝
He’ll be running for higher office very soon. He’s been in at least one abhorrent headline a week for months. Hope they find the CSAM on his laptop soon so I can stop hearing about this incompetent asshole
desantis had his chance with the presidency, he has to be looking for US senate.
LoL STUPID LIBTARD! Republicans LOVE CSAM! Just look at how they Treat Jeffrey Epstein and his BEST FRIEND Donald J Trump!
It was planted by evil sick democrats
