Summary

Project 2025, a manifesto supported by the conservative Heritage Foundation, calls for a ban on pornography, labeling its purveyors as criminals and advocating for strict penalties, including jail time for producers and registered sex offender status for educators distributing it.

The manifesto argues that porn lacks First Amendment protection, framing it as harmful and exploitative.

With a right-leaning Supreme Court, proponents aim to overturn existing protections established in Miller v. California, potentially impacting mainstream media.

Donald Trump has pledged to bring Project 2025 contributors onto his team.

Oh man do I ever hope they ban porn in the US. That would be fucking hilarious.

[-] moon@lemmy.cafe -2 points 4 days ago

That's a terrible way to think

If you don’t think the incel groups that are super pro trump getting their porn privileges revoked isn’t funny as fuck, you’re wrong.

[-] Zementid@feddit.nl 1 points 4 days ago

Incels do not consume legal porn. That why they are so fucked up.

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 5 points 4 days ago

What? Streaming porn is not illegal.

[-] hihellobyeoh@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

They were not so subtly calling incels pedos.

Oh. I’m a moron. Thanks for being patient with my brain worms.

[-] yrmp@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I love that brain worms has fully entered the lexicon at this point. Can’t wait for those New Year recaps.

Streaming porn is not illegal... yet. Incels consume porn you can't stream. That's what I meant with "illegal porn".

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

As hard as you try you can never stop people from posting porn on the internet. It would be as big of a disaster as the war on drugs.

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

A law that virtually everyone breaks and is easily selectively enforced is extremely valuable to authoritarian regimes. It's a wildcard to imprison whoever they want.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
