"“Our colleagues from BRDO (Better Regulation Delivery Office) calculated that in 2021, law enforcement officers spent about 85,500 working hours on cases related to the distribution of porn."

All that while Ukraine has been one of the biggest producers of porn ever since at least the 1990s..

    If you're old enough to get murdered by Putin's prison mercenaries, you're old enough to rub one out.

    A conspicuously laid-out piece that quotes social media with no stated methodology.

    Punishing individuals that have to act in pornography is unacceptable, but the industry itself promotes or directly involves human trafficking and preys upon a system that cannot provide enough for its people. Sex positivity is great, but this has a serious economic component.

    I think a very important question is why were no non-reactionary "against" voices heard. Why only the cons? Why not a selective ban? Who really wants you to support this policy.

    You can legalize pornography without legalizing human trafficking. Since those are covered by separate laws it's actually super easy, barely an inconvenience. Just don't touch the human trafficking laws when you amend the pornography ones.
