I don't understand this.

The battle to stop people watching porn was lost many thousands of years ago.

If you are an American and care about privacy:

• Write your representatives. Your message can be as simple as "I care about privacy". It's important they know you are watching their votes.
• Participate in elections, particularly downballot elections. Congressional makeup at the federal and state level matters a lot more for these kinds of things than who is president. Many recent laws like "right to repair" etc have happened at the state level since you can bypass federal congressional gridlock.
• Participate in primaries. Most Americans do not vote, most voters do not vote in primaries. If you don't like having to choose "the lesser of two evils", primaries give you much much more choice to express your preferences. As a primary voter, you have an outsized influence on the electoral system and can help determine the options other people get to choose from.
• Donate to PACs and non-profits working to protect your right to privacy. The EFF is an awesome non-profit. One benefit of donating to PACs is that they keep an eye on races across the country and help find and fund candidates who will advanced privacy legislation.
• "Vote with your dollar" when you buy things. In many cases, your purchasing power outweighs the political power of your vote.

This is the exact reason people tell you you're wrong when you say "I don't have anything to hide" in the face of anti-privacy laws.

If you have used your ID to access porn sites they already have you on the list. You've put yourself on it, even. If Project 2025 succeeds in criminalizing porn users then guess what? You're on the list to get arrested and shipped off to prison to go be a slave productive countryman.

Do they make a compelling reason as to why it should be outlawed?

What would it accomplish?

Crazy I encountered this for the first time while in a different state website wanted Id verification. I was like wtf. Anyway I said nope and just turned on my vpn instead. Unfortunately I'm probably still on the list. Guess we should all voluntarily turn ourselves in haha.

This has always been the Republican plan. They've been going after pornographers as long as I can remember.

Seems to me that people who produce and distribute are not those that consume it...

Alright, that does it. That's the final straw

Ohhh going after the porn industry? That's anti-semitic as fk!
