I see most of the comments here say that they don't completely agree with fully banning these websites. But as I strongly disagree with porn, I'm happy with that and I hope more states do that.
Well, let's also ban alcohol consumption since it's bad for you. Let's also ban all forms of violent media since that could potentially be bad for you when viewed in excess (similar to porn). It's a slippery slope. At what point do we just start monitoring people's thoughts when that tech comes available?
The problem is, the laws are very… stupid? No PornHub, but Twitter is fine because less than X% of revenue is coming from pornography. But it’s still the place for the adult content. Ask any young person about Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram funnels into Twitter solely for pornography.
These types of laws (good enough even if we can get rid of 50% of the problem!), I think, don’t work well when there’s physiological element to it (arousal in this scenario). People will actively seek out pornography and consume it. It has been going on for decades in the internet.
The funny thing is that the law doesn't ban porn outright, as I believe this is federally illegal. It "simply" "asks" porn providers to enforce stricter, privacy-violating age restriction laws. This difference is important, as porn in these states could "easily" come back if they figure out how to meet the letter of the law in a way that isn't "too invasive."
> Don’t like porn? Then don’t use it. Forcing your personal views on others by banning things you don’t agree with is bullshit.
Would you say alcohol is banned if a liquor store that was against carding customers would have to lock its doors to avoid violating laws about selling to minors?
Not that impressive but I personally liked it. Since Telegram isn't accessible without VPN or Proxy in my country, i made a flutter app that connects to an API. The API itself uses Telegram API to get and send messages. So i made a Telegram that doesn't need VPN. But it was so simple (Only for one group and only text messages). Anyway I enjoyed the progress and the result.
Oh and a question if you can help me. I used streaming FastAPI for the API and used dart:io in flutter to listen for the new messages and put them in the app. Do you suggest any better way to fetch new messages? Like WebSocket or idk anything.
