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.

    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.

      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.

          Every fascist takeover starts with “Oh, you’re just overreacting.”

          Everyone, remember these six words:

          HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO.

          Yes, my comment was based on historical facts and indicators. It wasn’t a hypothetical.

      It’s also the pretext for a pogrom against LGBTQ, whose existence in public will be redefined as “pornographic.”

        And to be clear, this isn’t supposition, it’s already literally happening in Florida.

        Florida is the model for what they want to do everywhere.
