A bill set to be introduced next month would ban consuming or producing sexual content and punish offenders with prison sentences of up to 20 years and $25,000 fines.
This is either something that will only ever be selectively enforced, or designed to be so outrageous they can walk it back to what they actually want and look like they’re compromising.
The lawmakers pushing this should have their browsing history and message logs examined by a team of data recovery experts.
I can assure you, they are into some weird shit but they spout these bullshit platitudes about turning others away from sin. It’s almost certainly because they are embarrassed or insecure about their own desires.

I believe it is how self-proclaimed christians are responding to sexual and gender liberty/tolerance. They see it as lost ground in their crusade against deviance. So they are escalating things beyond reason in order to sooth their own conscience.
That’s how I see it. Closeted bigots being closeted bigots.
Also feels like Gen z is more prudish and so, even if they don’t really agree with these movements, they also aren’t as affected, so don’t really care about it happening either.
They’re losing the culture war, both at a societal level and a political one. So they’re lashing out, ideally with what are the last gasps of their regressive ideology
I imagine there are still brick and mortar stores in Oklahoma that sell porn and sex merchandise. This would ruin their business. What a bunch of idiots. This will never survive a challenge in court.
yeah dude, it's a shithole down here. if you can find something isolated where you don't have to participate in society, sure, but otherwise, we should be moving to purple states to shift them blue, so we can finally defeat the cruel religious right.
I live in the south and I would like to cordially invite you to not move here. Ever. Stay where you are please. We don’t need anymore right wingers crying because they wish they lived in a theocratic dictatorship. We have too many of those already, we’re at capacity. Feel free to take some of ours. Take them far far away.
would prohibit consuming or producing sexual content that “lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value” in any medium.
MOST porn is art because it has a camera as a medium, and it is viewed as "Entertainment", this bill will have no teeth on arrival.
My main problem is that this kind of logic is next door neighbors with, "That woman was dressed in a pornographic way! She should be dressed from head to toe in black!"
Wasn’t this exactly what the Larry Flint case was about already? Sounds like political grand standing, so they can say they did something even if that something is completely moot anyway.
Can someone help parse the bill? I read it and it looked like it was related to CP. I know that they like to bury and conflate things but I was having trouble parsing out what the headline implies.
Edit: don’t know what’s with the downvotes. I’m serious. I have a friend solely pointing that out and I’d like to provide information to show it’s more than that. I tried to read the bill but it keeps just referencing CP.
Did you read the article with quotes from the guy pushing the bill? They might have thrown CSAM ( CP is inappropriate verbiage) in there as a dog whistle because they want people to believe the “perverts” are coming for their kids. Or it is an attempt to make the bill seem more legitimate. They literally want to cut OK off from social media if it isn’t heavily censored. They want to take your freedom of speech away under the guise of stopping “sexual perversion” they they are certainly guilty of themselves.
I did read it and I saw those cherry picked words in the bill, but when reading the full context it prefaces them with “child pornagraphy” in front of it. I don’t doubt the hidden meaning in this bill, I’m trying to help find exact sentences where it separates CSAM from the rest being mentioned.
I’m looking for the separation of what is related to CSAM and what is related to everyone so I can hit them over the head with it and prove it’s not just a “think of the children” thing. The bill is (probably purposely) ambiguous and I’m having trouble extracting what it being said in the article.
There probably is no separation because to them someone who is willing to be so perverted as to watch porn is also willing to prey on the children. The two are one and the same in their heads.
