Porn is everywhere. 80 percent of the web is porn. There’s porn here on Lemmy and on Mastodon. It seems like a whack-a-mole situation .

Conservatives have been labeling anything and everything they don't like as "porn". A queer romance novel is "porn". Two male characters kissing on television is "porn". Drag queen story time is "porn". The picture book Heather Has Two Mommies is "porn". And the thing they're really most afraid of, educational resources for LGBTQ youth are "porn".

So by declaring porn illegal, they now have a pretext to go after everything they call "porn". Their goal isn't to remove all porn from the internet, it's to make it harder for people who need those educational resources to access them. It's not about porn, it's about "porn".
