Porn sites must have government health warning in Texas from September 1st

The party of small government sure does a lot of mommying.

Pretty clear First Amendment compelled-speech case. The government may not compel a speaker to say a bunch of false things (the supposed "warnings" are lies; and arguably even defamatory ones) as a condition of being permitted to speak.

The 2018 NIFLA v. Becerra is the most recent Supreme Court case on compelled speech, and it does not look favorable to this sort of thing.

What in the hell is happening across the country right now? Why are we getting all of these short sighted, personal-liberty-violating, bullshit laws popping up?

How "small government" of them.

For retaliation, just block texas IPs. That shit will be fast tracked

That's fine if we have a sign when entering Texas warning us of all the dangerous things there compared to where they were coming from

Warning: Residency in the state of Texas may result in the inability to function as a decent human being.

What's an example of a health warning for looking at naked humans? Seriously someone explain what they mean because it doesn't make any sense.

There is room to talk about the handful parts of porn, but this certainly isn't the way to do it. Porn doesn't increase anyone's desire for a prostitute or pedophilia. That's just insane. There could be evidence that it reduces one's self esteem, but we'd have to study that. This is just Texas furthering the nanny state and actively requiring lying to people. Again.

Texas is moving to protect against the Communist infiltration comming for our precious bodily fluids.

Could the Texas government also post a list of all the hazardous sites in one place so i know which sites to avoid?

Warning: masturbating may cause post nut clarity. Viewer discretion is advised.

"May cause erectile disfunction"

why? wanking is good for your heart, prostate, it's a stress relieve...what's the fucking problem? Does the old testaments god Texas believe in has an issue with it?

those pathetic, backwarded, republican fucks...

Theres a joke about Ted Cruz to be made here.

Warning: You're in Texas.

One of the health warnings:

...[exposure to porn] “is associated with low self-esteem and body image eating disorders, impaired brain development, and other emotional and mental illnesses..."

Ummmm but what about BBW? In all seriousness though, for these 'valid' health concerns associated with low self esteem ...isn't this the slippery slope towards modesty policing of women and women only in some of those fun countries??

The article is a couple months old. I’ve read a couple similar articles in the past, but more recent ones don’t seem to mention the warning. I’d have to look at HB 1181’s full text, but I suspect this language was removed before it passed.

Edit: nvm, Idk why I say shit before researching it. Looks like the language is in the bill as it was signed into law

A health warning?

Warning: You'll shoot your eye out!

Just ignore it in the same way you do with California's everything gives you cancer warnings.

It's always projection...so...

This pisses me off.

What if not? Block it? Just more DNS users.

warning: beating off at least once daily may reduce your chance of prostate cancer

Pron is not what it used to be. Pron tubes are so full of crap these days that it indeed warrants some health warning. Those women are often exploited if nothing else.
