22. That's true

That's true, yet limiting the free speech depiction of consensual activities would do nothing to address that. What is more likely is that driving all porn "underground" would make addressing illegal activities more difficult. Let limited enforcement resources be focused on the real problem, not stretched even more thinly.

In the meantime, the conservatives and their cats who would be empowered to define what counts as "pornography" would include a lot more content into that category. They've already shown how eager they are to do this in Project 2025 (see page 5!). Discussions of any other sexual orientation than straight are declared to be pornographic, along with the very existence of trans and non-binary people.
