> Producing, selling, and consuming pornography are matters of protected sexual speech so long nothing illegal and criminal occur. This is not true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_test

According to PH, Utah is one of their biggest states, so this could raise a lot of tax revenue. Billions, based on the amount of this material that Utahans consume on an annual basis.

Crazy how something legal and that should stay legal is easily restricted to use through big company own initiative to limit it and evil politicians bending innocuous laws and regulation bodies to block legal content that they don't like.

Technofascist MAGA, evangelical Christofascists, and illiberal limousine neoliberals all agree in outlawing rights, and removing freedoms and privacy from individuals. They've lost the plot on the point of a free country while they try to impose their moral conformity on everyone else.
