[QUOTE=Rhike;51558777]Mainly asking whether all of you specifically need porn to satisfy needs outside of real life relationships. For me, porn =/= wank a lot of the times. As in, if I were to be in SC, the ban wouldn't affect me that much. Judging by everyone's reaction, I'm weird as fuck and I'm subhuman and I should be exterminated.[/QUOTE] it wasn't weird until you started bragging about it
FUCK THAT SHIT the first pc maker to do that would face massive backlash [editline]20th December 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=elixwhitetail;51558480] You saying this isn't a proxy chain? It's a very fancy proxy chain that dynamically shifts to obscure the origin of traffic before it hits an exit node, but are you really going to try and claim I'm wrong on a technicality so you can be right? More importantly, do you think this kind of bullshit word gaming is going to work on the Feds? If they ban proxies and VPNs, tor is going with it because it provides the same end feature.[/QUOTE] you cant ban vpns because most of the business world relies on them

I mean I think the language barrier here might be making you come off weirder than intended though.

ISP implementation also solves people bringing computers from out of state to bypass the block, etc. It also would then allow for a wider range of devices to charge for since more than computers can use your home network.
[QUOTE=Map in a box;51558726]It won't matter until its challenged. And challenges likely won't make it to the supreme court in time before Trump replaces a chunk of the supreme court members.[/QUOTE] I mean I hate to break it to you but Supreme Court nominees are extremely accomplished judges who would not be stupid enough to uphold a literal tax on freedom of speech just because they're conservative. This is a cut-and-dried unconstitutional law. There is frankly no question. Even if Trump somehow manages to swap out two justices with nutjobs, we still have a majority of justices who are not retarded.
Isn't porn one of the main factors in which medium (VHS/Betamax) is used? Seems sorta hard to ban it like this.

And it still has to be challenged first.
[QUOTE=Judas;51558891]i want to print this post off and mail it to the governor of south carolina[/QUOTE] There is something brilliant about the thought of inundating these sexless officials with this shit. Like if they want to insist that people's porn habits and what gets them off is their business, they deserve all the important correspondences from concerned citizens about the exact diameter that an image of a gaping anus becomes unacceptable.
Oh dear, and I'm stuck in SC studying Computer Science of all things for the next 3 years of my college career. Joy.
isnt this hindering on the first amendment and could be used for much more if they wanted
[QUOTE=portalcrazy;51557614]what is it with republicans and not minding their own business[/QUOTE] NO BIG GOVERNMENT UNLESS IT'S OUR BIG GOVERNMENT
I want to see them [I]try.[/I] This'll wake people up. Hell, it might be the only thing that will.
[QUOTE=portalcrazy;51557614]what is it with republicans and not minding their own business[/QUOTE] Truly an act of doublethink.
Lmfao what are they gonna do ban the hundreds of porn sites, torrent sites, Instagram, Twitter, Snapcat, VPNs, and tor? Remember when we banned alcohol? Yeah that went down real well huh [Editline]a [/editline] They can suck my dick Then I'll upload it to piss them off further
[QUOTE=MarcusSmith;51558399]If they do this, is guaranteed there will be some softwares in the black market that will give to people pornography at an even major price.[/QUOTE] Major price? How much are you willing to pay to not pay a $20 removal cost? At the price point, and a likely shoddy implementation of these types of blocks, it'll be likely some simple program that does this and for no cost. Even for using TOR, VPNs, do you all think they're just going to roll their own chips to be engineered on their devices? As this is saying software on consumer electronics. This will be bypassed so incredibly quickly I wonder why they're even trying [I]at all[/I].

Go out and make your own porn! That advice possibly comes off creepier than intended. Luckily, the thread's bar has been set high for weird.

[QUOTE=L'Citizen;51561487]Money takes precedence over rights in the GOP's America.[/QUOTE] This has nothing to do with money.
[QUOTE=Kagu;51557781]20$ for access to porn. Assuming what this article is reporting is true, that means there will be a state-law that restricts access to NSFW content (good luck with that), unless you pay money. Not throttling access, but downright blocking it entirely. Like, don't even start with "it's only 20$!", "it's easy to bypass lol", "go outside nerds"; this, if passed, sets a dangerous precedence and can affect other mediums of entertainment too so if you're actually defending this, I don't know what else to say. On another note, in the current political climate with its policies, net neutrality prevents this from happening on a [B]federal[/B] level.[/QUOTE] Net Neutrality's days are numbered now, though Man. What a fucked up country we have

The people handling the actual technical details of blocking something often don't support it themselves, so choose the easiest way to have a workaround. Do you really think all the actual technical workers in countries blocking websites don't know getting around a DNS block is piss easy?
[QUOTE=Adrian Veidt;51562058]This has nothing to do with money.[/QUOTE] Then what's the $20 removal fee?

[QUOTE=Map in a box;51558726]It won't matter until its challenged. And challenges likely won't make it to the supreme court in time before Trump replaces a chunk of the supreme court members.[/QUOTE] Historically supreme court members have been appointed and radically changed their interpretation of the law afterwards since it's nearly impossible to be fired. I also don't see Donald "Grab her by the pussy" Trump being too anti-porn.
People keep saying "oh they won't touch porn, that'll make people really angry", but at this point does anybody up top really even care what the people think anymore? It's more like a crusade than a policy plan.

[QUOTE=Adrian Veidt;51562058]This has nothing to do with money.[/QUOTE] Except for the $20 removal fee that you would have seen if you'd actually read the OP without instantly jumping to the GOP's defense.
