Edit: As people in the comments pointed out, this bill targets all websites hosting porn. e621 just happens to be hosted in Arizona, and it therefore affects them directly.
…PUBLISHES OR DISTRIBUTES MATERIAL HARMFUL TO MINORS ON THE INTERNET FROM A WEBSITE THAT CONTAINS A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF MATERIAL HARMFUL TO MINORS…
Since furry porn isn’t harmful, they should be ok.I’m pretty sure that viewing pornography can be harmful to young children.
Not all “minors”, but some people forget that the phrase includes both 17 year olds and 4 year olds in some states…
If a 4 year old is exposed to furry porn, I don’t think the culprit is the website.
I didn’t assign blame to the website, or to anything. I just said that viewing sexual material can be harmful to children.
Which is the problem with completely open ended language, which is always used in such bills so as to only apply to whoever they want to persecute.
I don’t know the site that much, but I know that “harmful to minors” can mean anything.
Think of the children!
I’ll believe they’re thinking of the children when they use that phrase to make laws that agree with the environmental groups and governing bodies.
I have no idea how government regulation of the Internet has become so normalized.
Mostly the party of small government.
They just want to keep children safe… from the LGBTs.
From your article:
Despite this, KOSA enjoys bipartisan support, including a July endorsement from President Joe Biden.
The worst laws in the US are usually supported by both parties.
We have two parties: regressives and regressives but slower.
In the same way living a full life is equivalent to suicide, sure.
The politicians in Arizona
Which ones? The republican minority?
Hi. That is incorrect. Sorry.
“furry” is like a new terminology for zoophilia?
There’s almost certainly way more zoophiles among the furry population, but most(?) furries aren’t attracted to literal animals AFAIK. Or don’t act on it. Uh
Not really. It’s people who enjoy art of personified/anthropomorphized animals. Sometimes it’s sexual, sometimes it involves personas and costumes, sometimes it’s just rabbits in bankers’ outfits. It’s viewed as weird by a lot of people because they assume it’s all costumes and sex, but looney tunes technically also counts, so it’s much more widespread than people identifying with it is.
Lola bunny, creating an entire generation of furries.
Before that it was Disney’s Robin Hood.
