Porn sites must have government health warning in Texas from September 1st::Just when we didn’t think the state of Texas could get any more wacko on tech policy, this latest bill really suggests otherwise. House Bill 1181 is an age verification measure that is similar to what we’ve seen in the state legislatures across other red U.S. states. You have an age verification proposal that is similar…

    Exploited in the sense that the current state of the world gives them little other choice than to resort to pron. Like before there were slaves, then peasants, now there are job contracts, but the person most likely deserves to have some better work than that.

      Do you not think coal miners are more exploited? Let’s make that illegal too. How about meatpacking plants?

      It’s remarkable how many people care deeply about workers, but only when those workers are primarily women they want to take choices from. You want to help people without choices? The way to do that is to give them more options. Taking away options doesn’t improve lives. That’s Puritan nonsense.

        How about meatpacking plants?

        Those workers are absolutely being exploited.

        There are more possible solutions than banning certain types of jobs (which it seems that no one in this comment threat has actually suggested). I think UBI is a good one. Make sure everyone actually has the financial capacity to choose.

          Sounds like a great start. I’ve never heard anyone who’s anti-porn suggest that. My goal is that all adults have freedom of choice in these matters, and to that end, I support eliminating economic coercion. There will still be porn. I support that too.
