        first, I think it is easily challenged on first amendment grounds

        second, I’m not an idiot and I know how to pirate shit

        third, if things continue to accelerate towards disaster I believe CA is the least shitty place to enjoy a normal life (that happens to include porn, for me)

        They would. “States’ rights” is bullshit that they start with only when they fail to regulate at the national level. Every time.

        Yeah, we have to stop it! Literally pussy, tits and cocks power the Internet use. I wouldn’t use it if it was just reading shit.
