Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the popular porn webcam site in March.

I wonder how this would apply to the Fediverse. Is Texas going to sue individual instance owners if someone posts some boobs?
Hey Paxton. Come at me bro! boobies
And here's a pair of tits to go with them!
They belong to a real nutcracker
(I suspect more ornithologists need to grow up…but I’m glad they didn’t.)
Hey that needs a NSFW tag! /s
Worried we’ll all be KYC’d and linked n stuff some day
Yeah probably. How long until every site with user generate content starts banning texas?
In the worst case, it’ll be something like piracy communities. You can bully lots of small instance owners, but there’s always going to be someone who’s willing to host it someplace where enforcement is lax.
Texas should go after Twitter.
Chaturbate is doing "substantial business" in Texas, which gives Texas the ability to regulate them. If you aren't doing business in Texas (charging people for services), then you have nothing to worry about.
Do they have a physical presence in the state, though? If they don’t, then Texas has no authority whatsoever over them. A physical presence is the only way kowtowing to these fascists makes any financial sense.
Laws don't apply the same way. Paxton was suing other states and out-of-state hospitals for surgery information related to gender. They've gone off the deep end
People should really think about how much money is wasted on bullshit laws.
Imagine all the advances in science we could be making, all the homes we could be building, and all the children we could be feeding.
But instead, we spend money to ensure rich people can make more money.
It's fucked.
Nah, this is for political points, not utility. They're only interested in the big ones who can get them some money, which
definitely won't be wasted on blackjack and hookerswill be used for political campaigning.
