Supreme Court (SCOTUS) upholds a Texas law that requires porn websites to verify that their visitors are 18 or older, rejecting a First Amendment challenge to the law

they wrote ass backwards ass backwards. It's a joke, not self censorship.
We're so ass backwards my go-to thought was the censored version.

No, words don’t count as graphic violence lol. Graphic violence is defined as being in visual media, not written.
if that's the case, I hope you fall down the stairs and snap your tibia out of your skin and have to lay in your own pooling blood crying out in pain and anguish waiting for someone to call for help. only to have waited so long that you throw up on yourself and your gaping wound whilst you go into shock from blood loss.
how's that make you feel?

Here's that nanny state Republicans were always talking about
Pretty sure "Nanny state" is a popular category of porn

Are there graphic gore and violence websites that kids are frequenting by the millions daily?
YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, Disney+, Max, etc. And that’s before we get into the bad faith false equivalence of comparing violence to nudity and sexuality. One is a natural and beautiful part of life, the other is literally violence.
-
Why does scale matter? If it was only 50k kids daily would it change your mind?
Putting it in the same perspective as the number that access porn.

Yes. Youtube. Cable TV. Every streaming service.

You think reading that would make me feel the same as watching a video of that happening to someone?

Those all have age rating systems in place lol.

Wow, you didn’t just move the goalpost, you switched the sport. And “lol”, I guess?
-
Yes. Youtube. Cable TV. Every streaming service.
All have age warnings and restrictions.

How do you figure? The argument is that porn shouldn’t have age restrictions cause violence on tv and streaming media doesn’t…….but I pointed out that they do have age restrictions.
How is that “changing the sport”? What did you think we were discussing?

So does pornhub.

The question was answered and you changed the topic. This is called a “moving the goalpost” fallacy. Looking at your comment history, it’s abundantly clear that I have inadvertently fed a troll, so that’s on me.

nope.
you clearly lack the imagination and intelligence.

And also huge lols at saying porn is just nudity and sexuality
-

Im sorry but no amount of text descriptions of gore or extreme violence can even remotely compare to photos or video of said gore or violence. Ever.
Thinking it can demonstrates a lack of intelligence.

Look at the topic we’re in, you absolute pencil. It’s about age restrictions for content. Did you think this was just about banning porn rather than age restricting it?
I pointed out that violent content is already age restricted. You thought that was “moving the goal posts”. You seem like someone that constantly cites things like fallacies that you don’t actually understand, like in this instance, to try and sound smart. Wanna try the slippery slope one next? Maybe chuck a few paradoxes in there for good measure?

Warning yes, restrictions no.

Today’s decision in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton is a direct blow to the free speech rights of adults. The Court ruled that “no person—adult or child—has a First Amendment right to access speech that is obscene to minors without first submitting proof of age.” This ruling allows states to enact onerous age-verification rules that will block adults from accessing lawful speech, curtail their ability to be anonymous, and jeopardize their data security and privacy. These are real and immense burdens on adults, and the Court was wrong to ignore them in upholding Texas’ law.
sex is bad but dropping bombs on muslims is okay

I could point out how content on YouTube is absolutely not rated or restricted, or share anecdotes about some of the shocking things that have shown up on the grandkids phones, but none of that matters because it’s clear that you are staunchly authoritarian.
We get it. You get think people shouldn’t be trusted to raise or monitor their own kids and need Big Brother to infringe on the expressive rights of everyone else as a result. That these “liberal perverts” lose what little privacy they have left as a result is the cherry on top, I’m sure. Everyone here knows where you are coming from, what you believe, and what you want. It’s no mystery. There isn’t some mystical angle that we’ve all somehow overlooked. The disconnect is, the things you are trying to argue in favor of are deeply unethical, oppressive, irrational, and evil. Why are you even on Lemmy if you hold such perverse totalitarian fantasies in your heart? The mere existence of this software is a monument against such sick ideology.
