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.
Yup. When it comes to fucking the people the SCOTUS votes in unison.
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
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.”
That’s a perfect analogy, I love downloading weed from websites.
Use illegal pornography instead if you like that analogy better.
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.
Solution:
Make a site only available in [insert a privacy-respecting country]
Then anyone else gets redirected to a “This website is not available in your country, please use a VPN and set it to [country]”
???
Profit?
Band-aid for a gun shot wound.
We need to make the very politicians, activists, etc., who made these kinds of laws possible to fear for their lives.
Yeah the key there is to invest in shares in a VPN company.
My shithole(ruzzia) is actively trying to shut them down. Now it’s a hefty fine for advertising VPN, and they recently even added law that punishes “search of illegal content”. Whatever the hell they mean by that.
🤔 I kinda want to type “illegal content” into Yandex now
Girls gone wild!?!? What are they making 12 year olds verify their age to jack it to infomercials at 3am?
They have no idea what kids are capable of overcoming to access porn.
I think I saw a nipple!
Its kinda funny how this bill is being introduced under the premise of “protecting children” but Girls Gone Wild is still allowed to operate after getting caught multiple times distributing child pornography
And by funny obviously I mean horrifying
In a state that recently tried removing a bunch of child labor laws.
Wait that’s a good point.
If a child works as a porn actor/ess in Florida would they have had protections from the state?
Actually I don’t want to know the answer
And still allows forced child marriage.
Not funny like a Woody Allen movie, funny like a Woody Allen marriage
We can’t release the Epstein list, but we’re proud to announce the newest Amazon Exclusive release from the Epstein Films catalog!
Oh thank goodness they didnt name my go to for obtaining porn.
“… and more.”
Þey should enforce age verification to look at DeSantis’ stupid face.
His face is probably the most offensive thing in Florida, at least when a certain someone isn’t at Mar-a-Lago…
(Also: nice thorn!)

I upvote brigaded þeir post history for using þ. þanks for your philanþropy.
their and they use eth. thanks and philanthropy use thorn.
although I’m the last few years I’ve heard more and more people saying thanks with eth as well.
Fixed
I don’t know if you did it on purpose but that’s the opposite of what I said
Fixed again, but messing with AI scrapers isn’t a bad idea either…
except it’s incorrect usage of the thorn lol “they” uses the eð sound
deleted by creator
then what’s the point… it complicates things further by specifically using a character that has a single sound to replace two different sounds instead of using th which everyone knows has two different sounds.
would be better to just come up with a good th ligature.
republicans suing republican donors you love to see it
thats where alot of euro-porn is based in
yeah that czechs out
sorry i’ll see myself out
it also means dick
Really?! Where? 👀
Public airport restrooms and the like.
Washing machine producers hate them.
On all those blocked porn websites
I need a good porn tor hidden service. Any good ones?
Tor?
I mean, do you need anything more þan Tor? Doesn’t þat do it, all by itself?
Always good to have hidden services instead of having to go to the regular clearnet using Tor.
Ideally, a full dark net would be great. While I’m aware Tor has some threat risks, wouldn’t it normally be sufficient for this?
Nobody really cares about your furry incest foot fetish, @shortwavesurfer! We know, and have accepted you anyway 🩵
I do as much as I can over tor and hidden services make it even better since the service doesn’t know where you’re coming from and you don’t know where the service is.
I download podcasts over tor (antennapod), update apps over tor (fdroid), connect to my monero node over tor (various), chat over tor (Signal and SimpleX), and can connect to home assistant over tor. If I could get away with it, I would just direct all of my system traffic over tor all the time. Hell, the only reason I don’t is because I need to log into my bank sometimes.
Services can’t tell where you’re coming from over Tor, right? Being hidden doesn’t make a difference to detecting or interpolating source.
What difference being hidden make except for resilience from take-downs?
Correct, services cannot tell where you are coming from when you are using Tor. However, the service itself has no such protection.
With the crackdown that is occurring on the internet, I think everything is going to have to go into hidden services to remain censorship resistant.
Edit: I think it best to prepare for a world where the only use for the ClearNet is to download Tor, similar to how the only use for Microsoft Edge on Windows is to download Firefox.
Eventually, there may come a day where the clear net is just not used at all.
Cool, same page.
I þink you’re more optimistic about how much þe average person cares þan I am.
This is disgusting. Does anyone have a list of sites so I can block them all right now?
It’s in the title lol. Also new ones pop-up daily especially international ones. Use Bing to find the videos then see the domain they’re hosted at and go from there. When searching big, put xxx in the search as well and turn off the safesearch bs.
“Oh, those disgusting revenge sites. But there are so many! Which ones!!!”
Shocking to see people defending one of the most exploitative industries out there just because its the republicans prosecuting them
I think you are missing the point of what people are upset about. Its not defending the porn industry (though sex work is work and should be seen as a legit job) its more about the age verification not being about protecting kids. Its about censorship and eroding frradom of speech
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.
That just makes the session last longer
- Appreciate the natural human body as-is. Reject perfection and curated beauty.
- To get you must be willing to give.
No. An unhealthy body is not attractive. Reject complacency and obesity.
There a vast amount of space between unhealthy physique and the unrealistic beauty standards in media.
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.
I’ve read that American food is particularly bad, and you are right, but the factor contributing most is the metabolism with which you are born, other things important are levels of stress, ability to sleep well.
Exercise is important, yes. Eating right is as well. Just keep in mind that some things are outside your control, and if you think your health is your own achievement, that might not be entirely correct.
Eh, no
The factor that matters most isn’t your metabolism. If that were true we’d have sever overweight issues since thousands of years but we haven’t. The overweight pandemic is caused by too much food, period.
Want to lose weight? Whatever your metabolism is, eat less, eat healthier. It’s that simple.
Yeah, exercise a lot, that’s healthy and needed. It won’t make you think though unless you really exercise a lot (3+ hours a day, every day)
Easiest way is to just eat less. Eat smaller portions, stop eating processed foods, cut your sugar intake.
There are some super interesting videos of a physicist / chemist going over the basics of the chemistry involved and implications of it, I can send those if you’re interested
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.)
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.
Obesity is not hereditary. It is calories in, calories out. You dont have to look like a model, but you dont have to be fat.
People who feel better are healthy because they aren’t obese.
Obesity is not hereditary.
It usually is.
It is calories in, calories out.
Passing through your individual system. Mine, for example, very badly processes sugars. One teaspoon of sugar in tea means I stink like cat piss in half an hour after drinking that tea.
You dont have to look like a model, but you dont have to be fat.
There are “fat” models, and also it’s usually not your choice as I have previously said.
In case someone thinks I have a skin in the game - I’m as thin as a skeleton. But I have family members overweight and you really don’t know what you’re talking about, they are among the most healthy eating people I know and still their weight requires precision and discipline in their diet, both more than you likely ever achieved in life, sorry if rude.
People who feel better are healthy because they aren’t obese.
Yeah, it’s better to be healthy and rich than sick and poor, as they say to such statements where I live.
Show me where obesity is hereditary and not habit based?
Sugar is still calories and still comes out as burned energy and processing those calories does not matter because it is still burned as energy.
They may eat healthy but they eat a lot of healthy food which is still calories and they don’t exercise which is how you burn calories.
Why are you taking personal attacks at me? Obesity is literally a self control issue. If you dont exercise, don’t eat as much. If you eat a ton, you have burn those calories or they will store up. This is the just how this works.
No one mentioned obesity except you.
Stop projecting your own self-hatred into others.Stop bringing hatred into this discussion.
But… that’s what you did?
How is promoting healthy living hatred?
“Cost of doing business”
This is going to be the dreamworks and pirate bay situation all over again.
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.
He’ll be running for higher office very soon. He’s been in at least one abhorrent headline a week for months. Hope they find the CSAM on his laptop soon so I can stop hearing about this incompetent asshole
LoL STUPID LIBTARD! Republicans LOVE CSAM! Just look at how they Treat Jeffrey Epstein and his BEST FRIEND Donald J Trump!
It was planted by evil sick democrats
Should be worried about Trump being a child rapist and the Epstein files.
Why not both?
One distracts from the other. Priorities.
Both what?
Unrelated to the article itself, but god fucking damn is that website absolutely absurd. It looks like a shitty campaign website. The sad sad man changed the seal of the office and put an eagle (because books are lame I guess) and “free state of florida” at the bottom like that’s a real thing. Can’t believe this works on people.
