"Human Trafficking Prevention Act" - I guess they assume that all people involved in being filmed for pornography are trafficed. That no normal person would want to record themselves having sex or performing sex acts.
- dreamcompiler 10y agoThey know that. They just hate porn. But banning porn has been found unconstitutional so many times they know it won't work. Thus they label it "anti-human trafficking" in hopes it will pass constitutional muster. Sort of like labeling creationism "intelligent design."
- MaxfordAndSons 10y agoThe name won't affect it's constitutionality and they know it, but as others have pointed out it's politically beneficial to say they voted for the "protection of children" and their opponents voted against it.
- pavel_lishin 10y agoI'd wager they love porn. I would bet a de-filtering fee that the person who wrote this specifically loves the kind of porn that looks like human trafficking porn, in fact. But he has to signal to his constituency - most of whom probably enjoy porn as well, but can't be seen to - that he shares their surface values.
