This might be a good time to discuss whether payment processors should have the ability to restrict legal trades (CP is a few bad apples). This applies to things like sex work and porn but also censorship of political views.
I think it's stupid to pay for porn when there's so much available for free but who am I to judge what people do with their money and body as long as it's consensual adults? Plus if we are to enjoy the free stuff, we also gotta make sure the content creators get paid. Cuties was allowed but onlyfans isn't okay?
Also this tweet thread doesn't seem honest imo. It seems more like a political attack against christians. The author wants to lump all christians as one but doesn't want that to be done to all sex workers? As someone who's lived in both Hindu and Muslim majority country, the whole anti sex work and anti porn thing isn't a Christian exclusive thing. Anecdotal but my Christian side of friends and family are very tolerant of gay and porn unlike my Hindu and Muslim ones back home.
The Tweet author thinks Nick Kristof is right wing? I can't take this thread seriously if the author can be so blatantly wrong for political purposes.
- nszceta 5y agoThere is no room for discussion. Your civil liberties are being eroded with this measure.
- krapp 5y agoDon't say "there is no room for discussion" on a discussion forum, it's obnoxious.

- rnd0 5y agoBeing obnoxious doesn't make it any less true (nor does using the latest thought terminating cliche of calling it a "thought-terminating cliche"). This was designed with the intent of taking our civil liberties away, and that is the effect it will have in the end. All the debate in the world does not change that -in fact that debate (rife with "just playing devil's advocate" nonsense undoubtably) will only serve to kick up dust and obscure the bottom line issue.
- EForEndeavour 5y ago> I think it's stupid to pay for porn when there's so much available for free > if we are to enjoy the free stuff, we also gotta make sure the content creators get paid What do you mean by "paying for porn" versus "make sure the content creators get paid"? Do you mean pay content creators as directly as possible, rather than paying distribution/publication platforms?
- smhenderson 5y agoI read that as "I'm not going to pay for it but we need to make sure some people have the ability to pay so I can continue to enjoy it for free"
