Oklahoma proposal would make watching porn a felony, ban sexting outside marriage

Hey Oklahoma, clearly you have nothing to worry about Sharia law, you’re doing a great job at introducing it yourselves.

Let me guess: his wife caught him watching gay porn and since he is a good Christian he wants to save others from falling into the same trap? And now his wife is really proud of him?

What is this, an attempt to stop women from making too much money with their onlyfans?

These people are fucking insane, what the hell. Right wingers will tell you stories about sharia law and how they want to come to other countries and enforce said sharia law, and how that is bad (rightly so).

Yet here they are, advocating for y’all queda’s version of sharia law. Fuck these christofascist stochastic terrorists

The suggested law would even require social media sites like X to be made unavailable in the Sooner State, unless it heavily censored its content, as the Mary Sue noted.

Yeah okay there’s no way this is going to pass. In fact I’m not convinced the guy who proposed it wanted it to.

This bill is the most transparent scaremongering of all time and Lemmy is eating it up

Just put a candidate endorsement in porn to make it political.

There’s really nothing stopping a super PAC from buying pornhub ads, is there?

Brought to you be the people scaremongering about the threat of Sharia law.

These bills are ridiculous on their face, and I believe that is on purpose. The people proposing these bills know they haven’t got a snowball’s chance in Hell of passing, but that’s not the point. The point is to gum up the works.

There’s no way that dude is not railing twinks every weekend.

I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but his doubtless moral hypocrisy is rustling like a loud chip bag in the movies.

Freedom and small government, right?

We should all consider the meta of the situation as well, with an upcoming Republican candidate election, and the need to drive people out to the voting booth.

Honestly asking for second opinions: Looking at the report of the actual proposal, it seems to only target sexual content containing people under 18? Am I missing something?

I don’t know if I’ve got this right but it would appear that the proposal will broaden the law holding the definition for child pornography to include watching porn and sexting. So you’ll wind up as the same category of a sexual predator as an actual child molester.

Based on a picture in the article of the first page of the law as its written, it seems to be modifying/enhancing an existing law that currently only affects minors, broadening it so that it covers all ages, and under new additional rules. IANAL.

I also ANAL but I can’t imagine this would ever gain any traction outside of drumming up publicity and self-promotion for the guy. This is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment regardless of one’s personal politics.
