Different observation:
for awhile, I had the whiff that right-wing tech-aligned conspiracy theory was that AI would rise up and kill us all,
and now those exact same people are not just promoting AI but, like, disturbingly revelatory about it

PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

This is nothing more than the Trump administration finding new ways to keep people out of our country, and a reminder that their cruelty continues to target the most vulnerable.
This directive is unnecessary, un-American, and hurts our global standing. It should be rescinded.
