The Supreme Court will hear *Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton*, a case concerning a Texas law requiring age verification for online pornography. This law is nearly identical to a federal law struck down in *Ashcroft v. ACLU*, which the Fifth Circuit Court defied by upholding the Texas law despite the precedent. While Texas argues for modifying First Amendment protections regarding pornography, it also suggests the existence of privacy-preserving age-verification technology that could justify such laws. A ruling could either reaffirm existing precedents or significantly alter the balance between protecting minors and adult access to sexual content.

Mattel has issued an apology for an embarrassing error on the packaging of their “Wicked” dolls. Instead of directing consumers to the official movie website, WickedMovie.com, the packaging mistakenly listed the URL for a pornographic website. Mattel is taking immediate action to correct the error and advises parents to discard or cover the incorrect link. The company acknowledges the inappropriateness of the mistake, particularly given the target audience for the dolls. Consumers who have already purchased the dolls can contact Mattel customer service for further information.

Jason Yates, the former CEO of My Faith Votes, a non-profit organization dedicated to mobilizing the evangelical community in support of Donald Trump, has been charged with possessing child pornography. This is not Yates’s first brush with the law; he previously faced a similar conviction. The irony of his situation is undeniable.
Yates, a vocal opponent of what he calls “sexually deviant” messages aimed at children, especially those sympathetic to the LGBTQ+ community, penned an op-ed for the conservative outlet *The Washington Times* just weeks before his arrest. In this article, he urged Christians to take a stand against what he perceived as a morally corrupting secular culture.… Continue reading
North Korean soldiers sent to fight in Ukraine have been given unprecedented access to the internet, potentially exposing them to vast amounts of pornography for the first time. This revelation, reported by the Financial Times, raises concerns about the potential psychological and cultural impacts of such exposure on these soldiers, who are accustomed to a heavily restricted and controlled environment. While the Pentagon is unable to confirm the reports, they acknowledge the potential security implications of North Korea’s involvement in the Ukraine conflict. The Kremlin has not responded to requests for comment on the matter.

The former mayor of University Park, Maryland, Joel Biermann, is facing nearly 30 charges related to child pornography. Biermann, 46, was arrested at his home after an FBI search warrant and is being held without bond. The charges date back to October 2024, although several solicitation charges were also filed for 2021 and 2023. The activities were allegedly committed online, according to State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy, who described the charges as “repugnant” and “extremely disturbing”. Currently, Biermann is not holding office and is considered a private citizen.

Running into North Korea is not a decision that any sane person would make. The fact that Private Travis King, a U.S. Army soldier, thought crossing the border into one of the most totalitarian and oppressive regimes in the world was a better option than facing his charges in the U.S. is mind-boggling. This act of desertion not only endangered his own life but also put strain on diplomatic relations between the two countries. It’s baffling to think that someone would willingly choose to run into a country like North Korea, known for its human rights abuses and extreme propaganda.
The details surrounding King’s case only add to the incredulity of his actions.… Continue reading
As I sit here and reflect on the recent news about the adult entertainment industry suing again over a law requiring pornographic sites to verify users’ ages, I can’t help but feel a sense of frustration and confusion. The idea of having to upload personal identification to access adult websites raises many concerns, especially in a world where online privacy seems to be diminishing more and more each day.
The arguments presented by some individuals about the potential risks of sharing personal information on these sites are valid. Why should anyone have to provide their ID, especially if they are trying to maintain a level of privacy or if they are in a situation where revealing such information could have negative consequences?… Continue reading
I can’t help but chuckle at the news of Madonna being sued for ‘pornography without warning’ at her LA concert performance. The sheer audacity of someone attending a Madonna concert – known for pushing boundaries and challenging norms since the 80s – and being shocked by the sexual content on stage is both comical and mind-boggling. It’s like going to a horror movie and being surprised by the jump scares.
The fact that this individual attended not one, but six of Madonna’s concerts in order to confirm his discomfort with the provocative content speaks volumes. If you’re not a fan of spicy performances, why keep coming back for more and then file a lawsuit claiming trauma?… Continue reading
As a society, we seem to have a knack for pointing fingers and shifting blame when it comes to issues like children accessing explicit content on the internet. The recent investigation into OnlyFans over children accessing pornography is a prime example of this misplaced blame game. Instead of holding parents accountable for monitoring their children’s online activities, the spotlight is being unfairly cast on a platform that requires users to create an account and often pay for access to NSFW content.
Let’s break it down. To access an OnlyFans creator’s account, one must not only create an account but also provide credit card information to subscribe to their content.… Continue reading
