Biden DOJ Sides with Porn Industry's Lawsuit Against Texas's Age Verification Law

[hadit]

Why are you giving your kids smart phones in the first place if you’re that worried?

They do not need one

I'm not. My kids didn't have cell phones. Of course, that was before cell phones were a thing, so...

 

[hadit]

You don't have a first amendment right to physically intimidate people. That's what those laws are restricting.

No, you don't have to physically do anything. Just show up, stand inside the buffer zone, say things and you will be stopped.

 

[Curried Goats]

No, you don't have to physically do anything. Just show up, stand inside the buffer zone, say things and you will be stopped.

So it's no so much restricting your speech as your ability to shout your words right in the face of someone just trying to go to work? How is that comparable in anyway to this porn issue?

 

[ThisIsMe]

Covered 4-5 times already.

I'm late to the thread here lol...

 

[ThisIsMe]

This will do nothing to stop kids from accessing porn.

So we shouldn't try? Also, kids have been finding ways to sneak alcohol and tobacco too, but we enacted laws to help with that. Because it's not 100% effective doesn't mean we don't at least try.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Then be a parent and control your own damn kids

We do. Be responsible and oppose children having access to pornography.

It sure seems like you support it

 

[pknopp]

So we shouldn't try?

If you come up with a solution that would work, I would listen.

Also, kids have been finding ways to sneak alcohol and tobacco too, but we enacted laws to help with that. Because it's not 100% effective doesn't mean we don't at least try.

1. It does largely work.

2. It doesn't violate the rights of anyone else.

This is another jaw-dropping example of how far into the gutter the woke liberal mind has gone. Texas, along with many other states, requires porn sites to verify that viewers are over 18 before allowing them to access the women-degrading, soul-destroying content. You'd think that nobody but the porn industry would object to this commonsense law, this basic protection of children from viewing porn.

But, the Biden Department of Justice, along with the ACLU, has filed a "friend of the court" brief in support of the porn industry's lawsuit against the Texas law! Predictably, the porn peddlers argue that the law "overly burdens" the ability of adults to access legal porn--yeah, never mind that the "legal porn" portrays women as nothing but sex objects who can be urinated on, anally penetrated, double penetrated, slapped, tied up, etc., etc. So much for the dignity of women, hey? And never mind that the law makes it much harder for minors to access porn sites.

By the way, the Texas age verification law passed the Texas legislature with an overwhelming majority. A similar law was approved unanimously by the Kentucky legislature.

This is that freedom of speech you guys are usually so worried about.

Where is that concern now?

 

[Crepitus]

We do.

Then why do you want someone else to do it for you?

 

[Crepitus]

;, /----/ The nightmare ends in 100 hours.

Begins

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Where is that concern now?

That's really stupid if you think freedom of speech covers minors being allowed to view pornography

 

[Crepitus]

I am about as far right as you can go, and i support states doing this.

That goes without saying. You kids hate freedom and need someone else to police your behaviors because you have no ability to do it on your own.

 

[braalian]

Why isn’t a single one of you responding to the question of how this is even going to work?

We all know a kid trying to access a porn site is gonna lie about their age. Duh.

Come up with an actually workable way to verify age? Sure

Until then, be a parent and accept that you are personally and solely responsible for your child’s access to the internet and what’s on it.

And where I personally agree with restrictions placed on minors from viewing adult sites....(wish the entire industry did not exist)

Restrictions on "Free Speech" is very very troublesome.
The best we can do currently is to keep those involved in the industry to be of legal age.

I'm not even a fan of underage children being pictured or focused upon even in family videos.

But, if we create age restrictions on this....we are no different from Biden who restricted his son's laptop information from being released or pandemic information from being discussed.

And that's the problem in the nutshell.

However,
Parents can have key loggers and website loggers on children's internet accessing devices. AND THEY SHOULD.
Parents should regularly review what their children are engaging with and viewing online...even after High School if it is in their home.

It's NOT "someone else's responsibility" for what children are doing online.
Cigarette vending machines are still prolific everywhere but in America.

Indiana has the law, evidently you have to verify by supplying a DL or government issued ID

 

[Crepitus]

This isn't about minors being "allowed", they already aren't supposed to.

 

[ColonelAngus]

It is crazy that it is bad to have to prove you are 21 to consume media that is illegal for minors to consume.

No more IDs at strip clubs. Sweeeet.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

This isn't about minors being "allowed", they already aren't supposed to.

It most certainly is. Just stop, ya got ***** slapped and went further stupid

 

[JohnDB]

And any 13 YO child knows how to get a fake ID....or their parents or neighbor's or some other ID that will be sufficient to bypass the gate controls.

Having an ID does nothing to a computer.
