Porn sites must have government health warning in Texas from September 1st::Just when we didn’t think the state of Texas could get any more wacko on tech policy, this latest bill really suggests otherwise. House Bill 1181 is an age verification measure that is similar to what we’ve seen in the state legislatures across other red U.S. states. You have an age verification proposal that is similar…
Pron is not what it used to be. Pron tubes are so full of crap these days that it indeed warrants some health warning. Those women are often exploited if nothing else.
How are they exploited? As far as I’m aware, porn actors and actresses sign a contract like you would in any other job.
Exploited in the sense that the current state of the world gives them little other choice than to resort to pron. Like before there were slaves, then peasants, now there are job contracts, but the person most likely deserves to have some better work than that.
Do you not think coal miners are more exploited? Let’s make that illegal too. How about meatpacking plants?
It’s remarkable how many people care deeply about workers, but only when those workers are primarily women they want to take choices from. You want to help people without choices? The way to do that is to give them more options. Taking away options doesn’t improve lives. That’s Puritan nonsense.
Some models are exploited victims of sex trafficking. I have a feeling it’s usually hard to tell if that’s the case. I think that it’s not that common, percentage-wise but it’s gotta be nonzero. Very uncomfortable to think about but it’s there…
I take your point, but you could apply that line of thinking to many other types of job, particularly roles that are unskilled or commonly filled by immigrants.
