It's like 98.5% the exact same thing
Lol no more Porn in GA. The anti porn bill just passed.

Do you have any idea how privileged you sound? You seriously think the majority of people can just uproot their lives just like that?
But is this vastly different than requiring id to but adult products? Like I said, I have mixed feelings.
They're like a toddler just throwing a temper tantrum, making life as unpleasant as possible for as many as possible, just to get their way. It's embarrassing. Vote these clowns out if at all possible.
Am I reading it correctly that it’s the porn sites that took their ball and went home in response to simply having to validate age?
Right, the important distinction is who's doing the intrusive overreach into our private lives. What a joke. Conservatism = hypocrisy. Pornography access isn't a "social decision," it's a private one.
LoL "I don't want the federal government telling me what I can and can't do in the privacy of my own home...I want the STATE government telling me what I can and can't do in the privacy of my own home!!"
They are not looking at the unattended consequences. There is a huge difference between showing your id to a person and uploading it to a website. Data breaches literally happen everyday no matter how secure the site is. Studies also show that porn decreases sexual assaults. Either way, VPN companies are loving all these laws passing because it's driving people to use their services. That's who us probably behind this, lol.

You mean for you, right?
Nah this never would've happened under either Bush.
You can’t legislate morality. Unfortunately big government wins again.
ill agree with you on the first point that data uploading is less than ideal...not gonna agree with any redeeming qualities of porn however
Check out the T&A on her....Time for the Sears catalog to make a comeback
Toes and Ankles
Imagine moving so you can watch porn and abort babies
Are all of you porn defenders ok with your daughters, sisters, mothers, and wives working in that industry?
Nearly every law “legislated morality,” if by that you mean the law is made for a moral reason. But having moral reasoning behind legislation isn’t the same thing as making people moral by legislation, even though anti-vice legislation clearly discourages the proliferation of vice businesses.
I don't buy that for a second. My guess is you, or someone on that computer, was looking at something similar and it used your cookies or something. I've done that from my phone with my nieces and nephews on multiple occasions to *insert Disney/Pixar character* to look at pictures and not once found anything remotely pornographic.
Edit: In a less accusatory manor, like wise, if you use duck duck go or incognito mode you don't have any previous data to filter out the scum of the internet.

correct..tons of laws are morally based..the question being where do you draw the line of decide which ones are necessary i suppose
Yep, and I think outside of constitutional restrictions, that just has to be decided politically. We can’t pretend that moral legislation is just artificially walled off from the political process because those are usually contested issues.
Just went through the verification process. Very simple and now I have easy and permanent access. All aboard to ejack city!!!!
I actually think that's true. Allowing prostitution and porn cuts back on the number of sexual related crimes. Everything from child molesters to rape. I believe it was done in the Netherlands where both are allowed.
Sicko whack jobs are going to get their's one way or another. You may as well give them an outlet. Kids too but on a much less extreme of the spectrum IE watching porn.
It's sort of like the welfare argument. That's just government's way of reducing crime. Give people some money so they can get high or feed their kids or whatever and keep them in their own little bubble away from society.
Same argument why abortion may be a net positive for society. Imagine if those 70 million + babies were born in to poverty (overwhelming majority) - huge drain on the system, increased crime, etc and then they have kids...cycle continues.
Conservatives should be very much in favor in abortion if we are being completely honest and remove the human aspect from the conversation (which is impossible for me to do personally, but just saying)
It would make sense that porn would help sexual predators in some sense. But in other ways, it may give some ideas on how to act out. I'm not really sure the studies there.
now do the downside to porn and weigh it against that one possible plus? i think porn is a net negative on society, but that's just me...I'm also not sure i buy that positive either but dont know enough to argue it...
What about smut books? My wife reads those and we both enjoy the outcome.
i think maybe we are losing sight (me included at first) that they are not outlawing porn, they are asking for valid proof of age and so far the issue of possible data breaches is valid, but nobody seems to have a problem with that when buying alcohol online or having it delivered, so I'm wondering why porn is/should be any different? seems to be if you are gonna be mad about losing porn, that its on the porn sites that refuse to comply
I also don't get the data breach argument. Most people have credit cards and online banking info saved online.
Pretty sure your data is already easily accessible.
Pretty sure your data is already easily accessible.
There is disagreement on the best way to verify age. The company that owns Pornhub says it can be done at the user/device level. Whether that’s legit or corporate BS, I don’t know.
Republican state lawmakers push for Georgia law to require proof of adulthood to view adult websites • Georgia Recorder
A Georgia bill would require companies that publish “material harmful to minors” to verify the age of people trying to access that material.
georgiarecorder.com
i would guess the argument is its just one (or more) additional sources of a possible breach and perhaps a smutty porn site isn't gonna be as secure as your bank, but i dont know
I don’t think many people would put the same level of trust in a porn site as they would say, Bank of America or Capital One. Not that those companies are immune from breaches, but they’re probably better regulated.
Fair enough, people can agree to disagree on the redeemable aspect. But the fundamental point, to me, is leave it to the individual to make that determination for themselves.
Hate any government overreach! But me and my buddies used to watch scrambled porn on those old satellite dishes. So I don't feel bad for them.
i get that line of thinking, i really do, but i also struggle with how to protect kids from parents who wont do it....its a discussion that could go on forever and cover many issues i suppose
Verifying ages isn’t a bad thing, but for a website that allows uploading of content, it’s going to be next to impossible to regulate. Pretty much free porn sites aren’t going to be able to 100% comply so it’ll move into pay sites getting more traffic where they only have their verified content.
