Summary
Project 2025, a manifesto supported by the conservative Heritage Foundation, calls for a ban on pornography, labeling its purveyors as criminals and advocating for strict penalties, including jail time for producers and registered sex offender status for educators distributing it.
The manifesto argues that porn lacks First Amendment protection, framing it as harmful and exploitative.
With a right-leaning Supreme Court, proponents aim to overturn existing protections established in Miller v. California, potentially impacting mainstream media.
Donald Trump has pledged to bring Project 2025 contributors onto his team.
No porn star can sue you if there’s no porn star
Its already psuedo-banned in some states, not outright, but PornHub and others are blocked in a number of states.
You could probably take an educated guess as to which states with nearly 100% accuracy.
It was their trial run, now they want to deploy that nationwide, incrementally chipping away at it.
This is exactly their play.
First president to make pictures of his current wife illegal
Sick burn 🔥
Doesn’t this proposal also make anyone who participates in the production of porn into a criminal?
Is the first Lady going to get arrested for her involvement in the creation of porn?
Historically, you can’t be charged for crimes you committed before the law criminalizing them was passed. However, precedence and fair application of the law have lost all meaning so you could be arrested, but she wouldn’t.
First president to have actual nude photos of his wife available.
If any other president, especially a Democrat, had nudes of their wife it would be a scandal.
But America is so beholden to these idiots that it doesn’t even matter to anyone.
There are lots of things they do that’re scandalous. That’s not one of them. There’s already enough puritanical bullshit fucking up the US. It’s about time some of it were left in the past.
Remember when the right had a meltdown over Michelle Obama’s bare arms.
isn’t that her second amendment right though?
Calling out hypocrisy isn’t puritanical.
But America is so beholden to these idiots that it doesn’t even matter to anyone.
That’s not calling out hypocrisy. That’s saying people should care.
One might argue that it’s the opposite.
If porn is made illegal, only criminals will have porn.
The only way to stop a bad guy with some porn…
If you don’t have access to a good VPN (one based outside of the US) and a separate thumb drive for TailsOS, I suggest getting both and learning how to use them before it becomes a lot more difficult to do so
I suspect VPNs will become a legal target as well…
The police and law enforcement use having a VPN as a reason to surveil.
“what do you dare trying to hide from us ?!?” is act ii from the play entitled “pick up that can, citizen”
I’ve been stockpiling since 2015
Time to start stockpiling.
Lol yeah start, for research.

4 TB SSD is on sale all of a sudden. Hmmmm
I’ve been preparing for this moment for the past two decades.
Almost a decade for me.
I hope they actually do it. This is like the abortion issue, if they actually go through with it people will be like “What?? How could this happen??”
And then 2 years pass, and they have completely who banned porn, and why it’s the mistake of Democrats.
You a word
accidentally
The major porn sites should go dark right now in protest. On inauguration day. For a month.
bUt ThE eCoNoMy…
Considering the countrybas a whole didn’t learn from 2016, there is absolutely no way anything would change.
2016 was different because Hillary was genuinely unlikable. This time we have no excuse
No no no, we can always blame Kamala’s laugh.

Did you wipe the server?
Like with a towel?
That did really annoyed me.
Sad part is I could see Trump said he wiped it and it would change no vote.
The incels fucked around and will find out.
I mean invest in VPN stocks then?
Your provider knows what you’re getting, and Pornhub is based in the US.
Hey look, someone has no idea how a VPN works!
I do, in fact, but feel free to believe what you want.
Obviously not lol
Duuuuhhhhh it’s encrypted when it goes through the magic Internet tubes from the servers owned by the same fucking capitalists that own the ISPs, and, some might hazard, state honeypot programs, how will they know???
The ads told me this product would protect my privacy for $9.99 a month! They can’t lie in those!
Sit down Billy Madison, you’re embarrassing yourself.
It’s fucking absurd that Lemmings of all people don’t understand that a system you don’t control is not secure.
Proved my point (in many more words then necessary, to boot) 👍
Normies, lol.

Nope. It’s owned by Canadian Aylo
My b, I stand corrected.
Pornhub will live until the Canadian elections.
lol, no they don’t and lol, no they aren’t.
This would be the one thing that would cause a shift.
Many deeply red states already banned porn a few years back. They voted for Trump again. Conservatives are happy to ban porn.
No it wouldn’t. It would be normalized and people would forget it was a thing.
This, I believe will be the very least of our problems.
I guess I gotta do my part and jack off twice a day or more to get the best of the porn we still have.
The porn ban will just be the excuse they use to crack down on VPNs so they can implement a full on Chinese style internet censorship program.
Goof luck for the companies depending on VPNs…but hey, Donnie’s going to crash the economy anyway, so why fret.
Tank it purposefully and then say he’s the only one who can fix it.
Hilarious. As if this could ever actually be instituted nationwide. Regulations on sale and access maybe, but moral crusades like this are perpetually doomed to failure, much like the War on Drugs.
Doesn’t mean they won’t try, won’t posture, won’t grandstand about it, but to actually succeed in this goal when over 50% of the populace isn’t going to be behind it? I guess we’ll just have to watch them try.
It’s not to try and ban porn
It’s a way to snoop on all Internet traffic.
Like cops “smelling weed” anytime they want to hassle someone. If they don’t like a person, they’ll spy on their Internet usage, obviously find some kind of porn, and then make a public spectacle out of to distract from what they’re mad at that person for.
They don’t care about the crime, they want an excuse to investigate people they don’t like.
Say something mean on twitter, and they’ll search your IP till they find something they can call porn.
It’s also a way to enforce ideological purity in education.
They’ll say they’re gonna ban it and when there’s uproar they’ll say to “protect the kids” you need a digital ID to access porn. Then they’ll expand it to everything, ban VPN’s, encryption and there will be no more privacy. Big brother is watching, and if he deems you too woke, for whatever arbitrary reason, you’re off to the gulag.
Sadly people won’t react before it’s too late because " it will never happen here ! " and till then we think like that because “conspiration”
Every fascist takeover starts with “Oh, you’re just overreacting.”
Everyone, remember these six words:
HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out…
Oklahoma already did this. Can’t access porn unless you first submit an ID.
Yes, my comment was based on historical facts and indicators. It wasn’t a hypothetical.
They don’t care about total enforcement. They’ll just use it against their enemies and people they want to take down while protecting their own. Rules for thee etc
This is what people don’t seem to grasp about fascism… It doesn’t matter. None of the rules or social mores that you’ve known since you were born will matter anymore.
People need to read some history books, this has happened before. We aren’t special, it is already happening here.
Strange comparison. The war on drugs wrecked so many lives, and hasn’t really ended, just cooled off a little. I don’t see that as a cause for optimism.
It’s meant as a comparison in terms of Moral Crusades via Prohibition tactics. I have a feeling that a “ban” on pornography will likely end the same way, with hyperbolic responses and lives disrupted to no positive resolutions. But it really seems untenable as a concept, that genie is so far out of the bottle that there is no bottle anymore; only the whole entire internet
No, but they can go after the owners and operators of major porn sites and have them shut down (and possibly executing them). Then the subsequent chilling effect that will occur, making sure nobody dares try to take their place.
You could probably use a VPN and find stuff, but say goodbye to pornhub, youporn, xvideos, etc. And in certain states they will probably make accessing it illegal (or simply using a VPN at all. And no, it will not matter that they’re legitimately needed for all sorts of legal shit, it’ll be used at the government’s discretion (which means singling out people who are using it to access porn. Until it isn’t, and they use it for whatever they want because they are the law).
This is what fascism is. People really don’t seem to grasp this. We need to stop viewing he world from this current paradigm, because come January 20, this nation will become unrecognizable.
The war on drugs only failed if you truly believe its goal was getting rid of drugs.
To quote John Erlichman, one of its architects:
“The Nixon Campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar Left, and Black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or Black. But by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and Blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
By the strandards of what it was created to do, the war on drugs was fantastically successful.
The war on porn will be successful in exactly the same way, because Republicans have already spent decades redefining all LGBTQ content as “pornographic”. This is will be a tool for disrupting queer and trans communities, for erasing queer and trans resources and tearing down queer and trans rights activists. Stopping porn isn’t the point, and it never was.
Oooof, too true
The Americans can choose between Vlad’s Russia, CCP China, 1979 Iran and All of the Above. WTF, the fucking Nazis did not ban porn.
