FCC General Counsel Channels Founding Fathers To Falsely Claim First Amendment Allows Banning Porn

Another senior Trump administration official [Adam Candeub] is gleefully showing off his true colors: The current general counsel for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) published an opinion column with the Heritage Foundation’s news outlet The Daily Signal calling for stronger obscenity regulation.
[…] Candeub proposes a supposed moral restoration of obscenity laws such that anything viewed through the lens of non-traditional sexual expression could be fair game for legislatures to heavily restrict or outright ban.
[…] Candeub works for the FCC and is backing a legal strategy that’s been used, historically, to aggressively prosecute women, LGBTQ+ individuals, entire communities of color, consensual sex workers, and pornographic and non-pornographic publishers for their speech.
This is the FCC presenting itself as the morality speech police.

Also, I wonder how much the young men that went for conservatives are going to looooove this. On the one hand, you have this supposed dating/loneliness crisis. Everything costs more so you can barely afford to get by, never mind spending on recreational things. And now, the very idiots you voted for will make it so you cannot even crank one out in peace? Way to go, dipshits! Good luck finding that dream tradwife or whatever. 🤣
