Just a reminder, banning porn doesn't just mean going after OnlyFans or Pornhub. It also means banning written erotica. Smutty voice audios. Video games with sexual content. Your favorite romantasy novels. Fetish photography. Erotic art.

They claimed, without evidence, that the games involved child abuse.

The Dem co-sponsor of the now-defeated right-wing age-verification bill in Colorado is saying the opposition "went off the rails"
By which they mean we brought up how it could easily be weaponized against LGBTQ groups and Planned Parenthood.
I'm sorry if that was inconvenient.
