Meanwhile, Robin L. Rosenberg of the Southern District of Florida is the judge that blocked the release of the Epstein files.
This is disgusting. Does anyone have a list of sites so I can block them all right now?
"Oh, those disgusting revenge sites. But there are so many! Which ones!!!"
TIL about a bunch of new porn sites cause republicans cant understand the streisand effect.
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.
This sounds very much like the mafia wetting their beak.
Only when it comes to policing morality. When it comes to gun violence, fuck them children; they are on the own.
- Ronnie De Santis
or child marriages (legal pedophila), or protecting pedophiles, then they literally fuck the children
fuck them children
literally, i suppose, in the case of the republicans
Isn’t this like mainstream advertising for these sites in places they can’t advertise?
Florida can drown in hell
I think they literally will, eventually.
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.
I gotta admit, I’d love to see what their lobbying could accomplish.
Well now I have some new sites to visit
I feel like porn websites have money and lots of reasons to want to burn Florida.
Seethe hard Santis.
