And honestly, that's fine with a lot of us. There is an undeniable connection between the porn industry and sex trafficking. Haha I knew this would strike a nerve here. The truth is, your modern "no porn" movement isn't coming from the religious right anymore. So now that the typical scapegoats are out of the picture, you are left with actually having to sit and think for yourself. You think an evangelical started /r/nofap?

So all those couples recording themselves and uploading to pornhub are being "trafficked" and we should stop all sites that allow to do that? There is a lot more to porn than just professionally recorded porn (which btw, is one of the most audited industries, since it's very easy way to score some points with the electorate for a DA to go after shady stuff happening in such a studio).

  Have you seen the signed model releases for those recordings? Do you know they were uploaded by themselves plural, not just one party? And with consent?

> The truth is, your modern "no porn" movement isn't coming from the religious right anymore. Former NoFap people frequently claim it's a literal cult. A quick Google search brings up a lot of NoFap posts about church and God, with anti-masturbation rhetoric that looks exactly like the religious movements that have been around for decades. It would be very, very surprising if they weren't actively encouraging and manipulating the NoFap people for their own selfish reasons. In any case, what does that have to do with the government blatantly targeting and harassing people exercising their right to free speech? That seems to be what you're suggesting you're OK with. Or are you somehow convinced that Jeff Sessions & friends would selectively target parts of the porn industry with actual ties to sex trafficking, and leave some segment of the porn industry alone? No chance, their motivations have absolutely nothing to do with fighting sex trafficking.

> you are left with actually having to sit and think for yourself Here's a thought: let consenting adults do what they want with each other. I have no problem with you nofapping (or joining AA, or whatever), and I'm happy for law enforcement to prosecute actual sex trafficking, but let the rest of the law-abiding/consenting individuals do what they want.
