    While I won’t contribute to their defense funds because they have all the money in the world, I do support them in spirit. You can’t beat the porn industry. You can only temporarily inconvenience it.

    Suck it, Florida.

    If these companies wanted to spin up a lobbying and PR group, they would have huge reach.

    Which would cause other problems down the line, but they’d crush this particular problem.

    Two problems here.
    One is jurisdiction. If the website is not incorporated in Florida, has no offices in Florida, and does not use Florida servers, why should they be subject to Florida law? Everything they do is completely legal in their home jurisdiction.
    This sort of enforcement is basically impossible on the internet. If anybody can access any website from anywhere, how is the website supposed to keep up with hundreds or thousands of changing jurisdictions each with their own legal requirements? And why should they have to?

    Second is interstate commerce clause of the Constitution. It reserves to the federal government the right to regulate interstate commerce. I would think that demanding that a out of state business change its business practices would fall afoul of that.

    Now it could be argued that since the website advertises in Florida and accepts sign ups from Florida residents, that they do business in Florida. However the simple solution there would be to disable payment for Florida residents.

      In 2018 SCOTUS ruled that states can require businesses with no physical presence or relationship to a state to collect sales tax for the state, effectively invalidating the Constitution’s Interstate Commerce Clause. Florida may be hoping this precedent along with a corrupt, illegitimate fascist majority in SCOTUS, will allow states to project their own local laws onto the entire country.

      If the customers are still in Florida and they still earn money in Florida, they are still subject to Florida law.

      The way they handle conflicting requirements in different regions is to use regional flags. It’s quite simple and it’s been done for a long time in more tightly regulated fields like e.g. online shopping.

      If it’s legal to sell weed online in some areas and illegal in others, you can’t just say “Well, our servers are in a region where it’s legal so we send weed all over the world.”

        Wait, wouldn’t it be legal for a country with legal weed to send it, just illegal go receive it in a jurisdiction where it’s illegal? Like if I lived in the Netherlands I couldn’t be arrested for mailing it to the US, but it’d get stopped at the border.

        1. Appreciate the natural human body as-is. Reject perfection and curated beauty.
        2. To get you must be willing to give.
        3. Some of my friends are indeed very attractive. lol

            Obesity is a result of many things. It’s mostly hereditary whatever you are born with, so the comment you are answering is right.

            Just like other cases of “unhealthy”. Just like with them, though, it’s possible to find one’s optimum in food and sports and sleep to feel better, and a person who feels better is usually more attractive.

            But looking like models you can find in the interwebs is just not possible if you are not already like them.

              Obesity is not hereditary. It is calories in, calories out. You dont have to look like a model, but you dont have to be fat.

              People who feel better are healthy because they aren’t obese.

            There a vast amount of space between unhealthy physique and the unrealistic beauty standards in media.

              I’ve met people far more beautiful than most you can see in mainstream media, let alone adult materials.

              (And in case one bitch with ASPD is stalking me, no, I don’t mean her ; that is, this is true for her too.)

              There is also a vast amount of space between a normal human body and the bodies that most Americans now have. That has nothing to do with the unrealistic beauty standards in media (which is also a thing)

              Obesity is bad, and it annoys me when people start defending it as being beautiful. It’s not, it will kill you in loads of unpleasant ways.

              Get healthy, exercise, eat less, eat less sugars

                Nobody in the thread above mentioned obesity. Nobody is saying you have to be attracted to obese people. Or disputing that it’s unhealthy.

                It remains true that there is a lot of space between this extreme and the extreme portrayed in media. Body weight is not the only standard, it’s one of many.

      Wasn’t it a video game? I remember some listicle about video games you can’t get anymore, I think by Guru Larry, and it mentioned a Girls Gone Wild game that was like, a trivia game where a girl would flash the camera if you got the question right or something. One of the girls filmed for the game was 17 years old at the time, and signed up with a fake ID, then sued after the game was launched.

      quick google search

      No I’m wrong. That happened but it had nothing to do with Girls Gone Wild, it was The Guy Game by “Topheavy Studios.”
