Donald Trump's victory could lead to porn being banned, as it is a key agenda item of Project 2025, the conservative manifesto for a Republican presidency.

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.

      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.
