      How in god’s good green earth does this law do any of that? It only legally binds American companies, and only where the site is mostly NSFW content.

      Want porn? Go to a UK site. Or go to any site that’s 70% other content. Or if you’re 16 just Google “bikini” and wank to that.

      This accomplishes nothing except the illusion of action, virtue signaling to Christians, and restriction of law abiding adults. Waste of time and money. They should be focusing on real things, the like fact Texas is poor and getting poorer.

      “In what people are calling the Ashley Madison breach of the porn world, fifty million users real life identities and viewing habits have been released on numerous leak sites.”

      No thanks, I’ll pass.
