Just for context, maybe we should remind everyone that there is a sovereignty dispute over the Malvinas/Falkland Islands between Argentina and the UK. This dispute is recognised as such by the UN and the whole international community. There is no negotiation going on between Argentina and the Islan...

there is also a fringe element who have spent the last few years opposing LE not because of racism or social justice, but from opposition to the very notion that police powers exist. These groups apparently believe almost all LE requests are Constitutional violations, and there is a YouTube channel...

"Adult" has several different definitions in the US and many other countries. Therefore, I don't see how any of this makes sense. My point is that describing porn as consenting adults watching consenting adults do adult things makes numerous assumptions. Also exposure to violent content i...

If you want to tackle violence I'm not sure porn is the obvious target... I do think porn should have a bit more regulation, in particular regarding the contracts performers sign.
