This is disgusting. Does anyone have a list of sites so I can block them all right now?
I feel like porn websites have money and lots of reasons to want to burn Florida.
Well now I have some new sites to visit
Only when it comes to policing morality. When it comes to gun violence, fuck them children; they are on the own.
- Ronnie De Santis
or child marriages (legal pedophila), or protecting pedophiles, then they literally fuck the children
Meanwhile, Robin L. Rosenberg of the Southern District of Florida is the judge that blocked the release of the Epstein files.
TIL about a bunch of new porn sites cause republicans cant understand the streisand effect.
If these companies wanted to spin up a lobbying and PR group, they would have huge reach.
Which would cause other problems down the line, but they’d crush this particular problem.
I gotta admit, I’d love to see what their lobbying could accomplish.
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.
In 2018 SCOTUS ruled that states can require businesses with no physical presence or relationship to a state to collect sales tax for the state, effectively invalidating the Constitution’s Interstate Commerce Clause. Florida may be hoping this precedent along with a corrupt, illegitimate fascist majority in SCOTUS, will allow states to project their own local laws onto the entire country.
So that’s why every site started charging sales tax at the same time. Wonderful.
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.”
Wait, wouldn’t it be legal for a country with legal weed to send it, just illegal go receive it in a jurisdiction where it’s illegal? Like if I lived in the Netherlands I couldn’t be arrested for mailing it to the US, but it’d get stopped at the border.
That’s a perfect analogy, I love downloading weed from websites.
Use illegal pornography instead if you like that analogy better.
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
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
No. An unhealthy body is not attractive. Reject complacency and obesity.
Obesity is a result of many things. It’s mostly
hereditarywhatever you are born with, so the comment you are answering is right.Just like other cases of “unhealthy”. Just like with them, though, it’s possible to find one’s optimum in food and sports and sleep to feel better, and a person who feels better is usually more attractive.
But looking like models you can find in the interwebs is just not possible if you are not already like them.
No one mentioned obesity except you.
Stop projecting your own self-hatred into others.There a vast amount of space between unhealthy physique and the unrealistic beauty standards in media.
I’ve met people far more beautiful than most you can see in mainstream media, let alone adult materials.
(And in case one bitch with ASPD is stalking me, no, I don’t mean her ; that is, this is true for her too.)
There is also a vast amount of space between a normal human body and the bodies that most Americans now have. That has nothing to do with the unrealistic beauty standards in media (which is also a thing)
Obesity is bad, and it annoys me when people start defending it as being beautiful. It’s not, it will kill you in loads of unpleasant ways.
Get healthy, exercise, eat less, eat less sugars
Nobody in the thread above mentioned obesity. Nobody is saying you have to be attracted to obese people. Or disputing that it’s unhealthy.
It remains true that there is a lot of space between this extreme and the extreme portrayed in media. Body weight is not the only standard, it’s one of many.
That just makes the session last longer
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.
Pyronis disease 😭
Don’t forget the sports betting and poker apps! Good clean wholesome gambling! Sponsoring your favorite athletic entertainment!
Ah. That explains it. Conservative pols are extorting porn sites for donations.
And all the alcohol ads.
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
Wasn’t it a video game? I remember some listicle about video games you can’t get anymore, I think by Guru Larry, and it mentioned a Girls Gone Wild game that was like, a trivia game where a girl would flash the camera if you got the question right or something. One of the girls filmed for the game was 17 years old at the time, and signed up with a fake ID, then sued after the game was launched.
quick google search
No I’m wrong. That happened but it had nothing to do with Girls Gone Wild, it was The Guy Game by “Topheavy Studios.”
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.
republicans suing republican donors you love to see it
it also means dick since xvideos is french and headquartered in the czech republic
it also means dick
Really?! Where? 👀
Public airport restrooms and the like.
thats where alot of euro-porn is based in
yeah that czechs out
sorry i’ll see myself out
Probably a dumb question, but if the website servers aren’t physically located in Florida, why must the websites follow Florida law?
They conduct business in Florida. Their customers aren’t porn watchers, but people who buy ad space. They could stop selling ads in Florida, but they won’t.
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.
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.
Pornhub blocked Texas day one
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.
yea if it accesible from florida, they have to follow the legislation there
Why?
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.
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.
