This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being “unmoderated”, but some were not. What are your thoughts?

Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries are banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated. Edit 2: seems like at least some (?) bans are being undone, like the above mentioned ones.

    People are forgetting this all springs from the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

    THEY are the ones pulling the strings behind Trump. The corporations and billionaires funding that (not Musk) that are shelling out the cash and have been since the Reagan era.

    Folks who think that the Pornhub ban in a few states and the ID request in others is the new norm are going to be in for a surprise when a nationwide ban gets passed shortly. That has always been on the agenda for them.

    It’s a Christian Extremist agenda (think Handmaids Tale) and all you fuckers who voted for him or didn’t vote in retaliation allowed this shit to happen.

    I cannot believe the amount shocked people I’ve ran across at work recently, who are Republicans who are still in denial and still think things are going to get better - or have some sort of bizarre belief that Trump is going to start suddenly making everything cheaper for everyone. Idiots!

      When Trump won they realized they could use him. They spent the last 4 years pecking at his brain and writing up their dream bills for him to sign. There’s no way Trump is the instigator of the vast majority of what he’s signing.

        I think banning porn is in part about getting birthrates back up. They’re scared of replacement. There’s the morality crap they’re tossing but the driving force is replacement theory and lost profit. They don’t want to be like Japan.
