Studies have shown that in places where porn is blocked, rape occurs at higher frequencies than in places where that is not the case, possibly due to higher levels of feelings of frustration and repression. This may be only one website now, but if others likewise follow the trend out of fear of litigation... then Texas may become a much more dangerous state to live in in the very near future, even compared to what it already is now.

Yeah! Personal rights! Personal choice! We shouldn't have government telling us what to do.

Here's a couple. Not a regional porn ban = more rape like previous poster said, but this is the most relevant data I could find. ...and this data isn't great. My main takeaway from this search is that we need to direct some actual research into what access to porn does vs doesn't do. Also specific categories of porn - I wouldn't be surprised to learn that sexual violence increases with consumption of porn that glorifies rape; but then if porn made a point to model good practices around things like obtaining consent, I'd wager sexual violence probably decrease.

TLDR, it's a complicated question, so take these with a grain of salt, but among the most credible sources I found, they trended toward porn and rape NOT being positively correlated.

"Victimization rates for rape in the United States demonstrate an inverse relationship between pornography consumption and rape rates."

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/222552404_The_pleasure_is_momentarythe_expense_damnable_The_influence_of_pornography_on_rape_and_sexual_assault

"The results showed that in none of the countries did rape increase more than nonsexual violent crimes [during a period of increased access to porn]. This finding in itself would seem sufficient to discard the hypothesis that pornography causes rape."

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2032762/

Not really a good block of text to quote, but the gist is: "Porn doesn't cause rape, but there's more going on than just direct cause and effect"

Sounds like it works right into their plans for controlling the population by forcing people to give birth then. What a hellscape. I'm so sorry for the good humans that live there.

I don’t understand, why not just mandate that parents should implement parental controls or something instead of blocking it for everyone? I think this is more the religious right agenda in action. Edit: not what pornhub did, but what TX was trying to do

[-] [email protected] 96 points 4 months ago

Texas needs to control people because they believe in small government. How else do you display freedom and amall government other than restricting rights and punishing people? /s

That's likely what they wanted and pornhub said "no, were not spending money to implement your fascist bullshit, instead no porn for you. Good luck."

The murder and rape rate are about to skyrocket in Texas sadly enough.

They already had 26,000 rape related pregnancies, just 26,000 rape related pregnancies, NOT 26,000 total rapes.

For any who don't know, these folks got raided by Swedish authorities, who left empty-handed.

Both mullvad and proton are trusted top VPNs. Either is fine, look at both and choose which ever one you feel like. There isn't a wrong choice.
