    While I won’t contribute to their defense funds because they have all the money in the world, I do support them in spirit. You can’t beat the porn industry. You can only temporarily inconvenience it.

    Suck it, Florida.

      My favorite is when the sites just block access to IPs in those states instead of trying to comply with the laws with a message that says “Your state won’t let us do business and we refuse to violate your privacy.” VPNs gonna see a huge spike in purchases, and lots of angry gooners gonna start writing their representatives as their favorites sites drop off one by one.

      In my home town of Houston, the city decided to crack down on the number of topless bars (which developers considered an eyesore). But they still recognized the bigger establishments as lucrative sites for labor exploitation popular with the O&G business community.

      So they found a middle ground. There is now a ceiling on licensed venues, with 16 registrations permitted inside city limits. Each club holding a registration must contribute to a $1M pot that’s provided to the Houston PD’s “anti-sex trafficking” division. This affords police a fund by which they can do “undercover investigation” of establishments.

      Everyone wins.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if the bouncers are all off duty cops too, or hired from security companies owned by cops. That seems to be a very common arrangement when a business wants to ensure the local department remains friendly.

      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 bing, put xxx in the search as well and turn off the safesearch bs.

    If these companies wanted to spin up a lobbying and PR group, they would have huge reach.

    Which would cause other problems down the line, but they’d crush this particular problem.
