Another senior Trump administration official [Adam Candeub] is gleefully showing off his true colors: The current general counsel for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) published an opinion column with the Heritage Foundation’s news outlet The Daily Signal calling for stronger obscenity regulation.

[…] Candeub proposes a supposed moral restoration of obscenity laws such that anything viewed through the lens of non-traditional sexual expression could be fair game for legislatures to heavily restrict or outright ban.

[…] Candeub works for the FCC and is backing a legal strategy that’s been used, historically, to aggressively prosecute women, LGBTQ+ individuals, entire communities of color, consensual sex workers, and pornographic and non-pornographic publishers for their speech.

This is the FCC presenting itself as the morality speech police.

      Even simpler. Remember when they tried to outlaw alcohol? But smuggling digital goods is far easier to do.

            I feel like this reputation is from people that only have seen Japanese porn from it being posted on American tube site. While that definitely exists; JAV, in general, I’d say, is definitely a lot more likely to focus on the women’s pleasure than the men’s. And the lesbian content is second to none for that.

          I want to find out what JAV means, but I am terrified it’ll land me on some watchlist
