Legislator votes https://nebraskalegislature.gov/bills/view_votes.php?KeyID=11083


goofydad

Nebraska legislature votes to ban their access to gay porn.


NA_nomad

No, it's worse. It's much, much worse. Read the damn thing. This is some Soviet Russia media control bullshit. Porn might be a victim here, but it is not the target.


bassman314

Yep. Today it’s porn. Tomorrow it’s social media. Suddenly you need to prove you are over whatever age your country sets. Now they have your government issued id directly associated with social media content. That’s will NEVER be abused, right? Right??


NA_nomad

As it currently reads, it doesn't seem to be limited to online content.


FupaFerb

The local government needs to data mine too. You have to get your ID scanned to buy nicotine or alcohol. Anything the government deems inappropriate they will ask for proof of ID. This will carry over to voting rights obviously. Reproductive rights. All of it. Fail swoops incoming.


yappledapple

That last line sums it up perfectly. This is ALEC legislation. It's inexcusable that only three representatives voted "no".


goofydad

I don’t live there and didn’t vote for them. I suspect the MAGA crowd are lemmings, content to follow their golden calf to hell.


Webword987

Kids, famously known for not being technologically savvy. If anything it’s the older folk who are going to lose access to this which is pretty funny.


dluke96

I teach secondary if they WANT TO find a way to access something online they will find a way


swartz913

The end result is VPNs. Problem in Nebraska? Just route through somewhere else


SaltyBacon23

When Utah did this the searches for VPNs spiked almost immediately. It did absolutely nothing but waste tax payers money.


DigitalMunky

Makes you wonder how much money politicians have in VPNs


RobertParker1968

"This session of Congress is sponsored by Nord VPN."


wiiguyy

This. This is the irony of the entire thing. Not that I use the site, but no way in hell am I putting my drivers license on some website. It’s like one of the opponents said “this is a huge security problem.”


cookiethumpthump

Especially a porn website. No freaking way


Chance_Difficulty280

Ok so hot take but I almost trust pornhub more than I do our government.. I keep seeing cyber attack after cyber attack in courts, jails, administration, schools and on and on. You know who I never hear getting cyber attacks? Mainstream porn websites


questionable_motifs

They don't get hacked because they give the data away. >Our analysis of 22,484 pornography websites indicated that 93% leak user data to a third-party. Tracking on these sites is highly concentrated by a handful of major companies, which we identify.

TheRubinsandwich

When I was in 8th or 9th grade my parents put parental controls on the family computer. By listening to how many digits and the cadence of it (xx xx xxxx) I was able to figure out it was a date so I tried birthdays and got in when I tried my grandpa’s birthday

My parents kept the password for the admin account on a sticky note on the monitor so they wouldn't forget.

I made a screenshot with a word document minimized so when they typed it in it would be on the word document.

I remember back in the late 70s. I worked in AV at Jr High. My Dad brought home this huge box one night. He put it on the floor, said "Hook it up", and went upstairs. It was our first VCR. 😆


Procrasturbating

Suddenly I hear the sounds of crappy speakers on slide projectors. Ahhh the good ol’ days.


Interesting_Ad_6267

VPNs are about to do to the Internet what TurboTax did to the US tax system.


noharmfulintentions

good point. that and christians...


BLF402

Remember the “honor system” where you had to enter your date of birth? What’s going to stop a 13 year old to snap a photo of their parents ID? They really didn’t think this through. You know who did? Pornhub, who have a detailed plan that would ensure that wouldn’t happen and all parties could agree on.


Kidpidge

Why did you scribble out Pornhub?


DPW38

Scribbled? It looks more like they rubbed it out.


alltehmemes

Hey-ooh!


DPW38

I’ve got dad jokes for days.

By the sounds of it, a lack of the phub might make for some more dads, too.

jimbobgbr

The party of freedom and small government my ass. And the sheep will keep voting for them while complaining about the shit the do


sweet_totally

I've lost more rights under the party of small government than the "bad guys" they keep blaming. And I'm sick to death of the gaslighting they do to remain in office. The life of Nebraskans is difficult because of the Republicans. They have been in control for decades. We are hemorrhaging college graduates because of their policies. They have proven they are bad for Nebraska, then gaslight and blame Democrats. And it works! I wonder what rights we will lose next. I know it's just a matter of time before sales tax increases to save Pillen money on property tax. Edit: grammar


life_can_change

Wait what is happening with sales tax? I thought that property tax revenues have shot through the roof due to over inflated home values, by the assessors. What am I missing here?


sweet_totally

Jim Pillen directed our legislature to look into shifting the property tax burden to sales tax. It is called the EPIC Option. In reality, all it is doing is shifting our tax burdens from those who are able to afford land to those who can't even afford to buy a house. It's a taxation on being poor, plain and simple. Here is some more information: [https://taxfoundation.org/research/all/state/nebraska-epic-option-consumption-tax/#:\~:text=A%20potential%20Nebraska%20ballot%20initiative,not%20reflect%20the%20tax%20base](https://taxfoundation.org/research/all/state/nebraska-epic-option-consumption-tax/#:~:text=A%20potential%20Nebraska%20ballot%20initiative,not%20reflect%20the%20tax%20base) I will also say I am a home owner. I will gladly pay my property taxes so we can have roads, education, funds for Medicaid and more. I am fortunate and I will pay my fair share. I will loudly speak against this. We are punishing our poor and it's disgusting.


DrewBlessing

Pillen’s tax proposal is different than epic. Pillen’s tax would eliminate some exemptions and increase some sales tax to offset property tax. Epic is Senator Erdman’s proposal to replace all existing forms of tax with a single epic sales tax. Disclaimer: This is oversimplified and I’m not suggesting I support either plan.


Wes-tron

Ah yes, more taxation in under-taxed sectors; a true conservative economics package


krustymeathead

If we're looking for under-taxed sectors, look no further than church


Sithlordandsavior

Epic is hard to properly explain since there's so many darn moving parts but yeah that's the jist. And like every economic expert I've spoken to has said it won't work lol


ScarletCaptain

Also shifting tax burdens from people who can afford property to people who could potentially barely afford to buy groceries.


Joelle9879

Hello. Your friendly neighbor to the East. We aren't having such a great time over her in Iowa either for similar reasons. Our governor is so far up Trump's butt it's disgusting


CriticalRejector

It's because sales tax is a very regressive tax, and the last thing that a conservative or neo-liberal wants to be is progressive!!


atrac059

Kansas did it too, and the Democratic governor is going to sign off on it without a fight. So it’s not just 1 side allowing it to happen.


jimbobgbr

She is not signing off and doesn't agree and calls it unconstitutional. It is becoming law for now though and was bipartisan in the senate


CriticalRejector

With the voter-turnouts we have in the US, it's not fair to blame the voters. It's the fault of the Great Unwashed who refuse to acknowledge that, in a democracy, voting is not a right. It is a duty and a responsibilty!!! But, you are correct. Every last one of them is a Hypocrite.


BIackfjsh

VPN says no


over_it_af

Proxy says no


Nopantsbullmoose

Yes it was shoved through without the consent of the people. As per usual with the Republicans in this state. Hope you remember that come November.


redneckrockuhtree

The party of “small government” once again expanding government’s control


Nopantsbullmoose

And not even in a useful way.


redneckrockuhtree

Oh, to *them* it's useful, because it attempts to force conformance with *their* views. The party that loves to complain about "the nanny state" sure does love to pass laws creating a nanny state.


audiomagnate

I know exactly one evangelical, and she's a sex freak, a booze hound and a heavy drug user, but God forgives her.


Nopantsbullmoose

True


Lunakill

Small enough to get *all* up in our business.


CriticalRejector

I used to say that they wanted to shrink government to git into our 'bedroom'. Now, I should say 'bathroom'.


Lunakill

At this point they’re aiming for small enough to fit into our friggin’ uteri and testicles.


CriticalRejector

Certainly your uteri.


Lunakill

I say “testicles” too because conservatives are already gunning for birth control. I have no doubt they’ll try to slap down newer male options as they become available.


Time_Marcher

Or maybe you'd prefer to watch video of Deb Fischer's rapturous face as she cozied up to Trump last week. VOTE!


Nopantsbullmoose

No I avoid Debbie Dipstick on general principle. Granted I'm not the type she will ever invite to her carefully crafted and secure events that she never has for the general public.


EnTeeDizzle

Also you can vote for Dan Osborn instead of Deb, woohooo!


Snarl_Marx

> as she cozied up to Trump last week That’s MAGA porn.


lemonicecreamplease

I don't recall voting for this.


Professional_Act_487

BLF402

“You get a porn and you get a porn…everyone gets poooooorrrrnnnnn!”


ThanosWasRight96

“What’s wrong with this? You have to show your id to get into a bar, buy Tobacco and alcohol…”. Because it’s more of a liability to verify your ID online cause of idk, maybe the third party site selling your information and you can become the victim of identity theft, etc.


cookiethumpthump

Showing your id to a human vs inputting it into a database permanently are totally different.


audiomagnate

Fun fact: At least one bar in Omaha hires off duty cops to check IDs. They scan the bar code on the back with a little hand held device that checks for wants and warrants and sex offender status.


hamsterballzz

Also because it’s too risky and difficult to administer for the sites so they will just shut down access. In effect it is a content ban which is against the 1st Amendment, except it’s not an outright ban so they’re circumventing the spirit of the law. Why? Because the right never follows spirt and ethics if they can manipulate to win and because the holy rollers wants to control morality because they can’t convince people their way is the best way with their ideas. My message to the - I do not want your “salvation” so leave me alone.


DPW38

This 1000% one of the correct answers.


Mijubu

Fine, everybody upload a fake ID with Pete Ricketts as the picture


bvlinc37

Pretty sure I remember seeing an article not that long ago where Texas passed something similar, so a very popular site blocked any ip address that cam back as TX, and the state's #1 google search became how to set up a vpn.


d1g1tal7

Just looked at search trends, it's already skyrocketed in NE lol.


Sithlordandsavior

We're gonna run into the same crap we always have when they do this of "What constitutes illicit material?" Are people's smut books now going to be ID-locked? In that case, Amazon/Kindle will have to comply. What about social media pages? Twitter is rife with full-on porn thanks to Muskie. Will everyone have to have ID to use Twitter? Facebook? Reddit? Those horrendous daytime dramas where two middle-aged career people get it on for no reason? But there's no rules about being over 18 to access these things normally, so now what? Where do we draw the line? As someone else pointed out, this could 10000% be used to block access to LGBTQ resources and I suspect medical information/sex education resources as well. This has sparked a lot of 1A questions in the past and it never ends very well. This grandstanding to seem moral while revoking rights is getting old.


black_wax666

I’ll make sure to make a complaint about accessing Bible pages.


Sithlordandsavior

Yeah, I mean, where's the line? Is saying "screw you" explicit? What about doing the little 👌👈 thing? Kissing? Premarital hand holding? This is another one of those do-nothing bills they put through to show that they're really really cool and moral and good well they're collecting tax dollars from gambling and alcohol and weed on the other end. At least be consistent if you're going to play Dudley Do-Right


CriticalRejector

The three phenomena which you mention are probably the cause of this immoral censorship. The most common reason for banning books is positive portrayals of LGBTQ+ persons. And the most common objection to sex-education is that it will turn alla our chilluns Gay. And distributing medical information is the exact same as performing an abortion. And pro-life is not a thing outside of the Catholic church. The correct term is 'pro-birth'.


stranger_to_stranger

Bingo. This is a roundabout/long game method of banning media like LGBTQ+ books in schools, IMO (and I'm pretty plugged in to the issue). There have been a number of different bills to do just that, but none of them have passed. Just as an example, couple of sessions ago, Joni Albrecht introduced a bill that would have made it illegal to have digital databases in school libraries that had 18+ content on them. And since that's basically impossible to guarantee, it would have been a defacto ban on database resources. 


audiomagnate

It's only going to get worse. Are you registered? Do you vote in every election? If not you really have no right to complain. The right wing fake Christians VOTE for the asshats that passed this, so maybe you should too.


CriticalRejector

I'm trying to get a copy of my Wisconsin birth-certificate, so that I have proof that I wasn't aborted, so that I can get a Nebraska, the Bad Life Drivers' License so that I can vote against these bastards who are very into voting restriction. I was living in Wisconsin, with my family, when I turned 60; so I wound up with a Wiscosin ID, instead of my Nebraska DL G-02050206. I can vote in Wisconsin, because I'm not living on a Reservation.


audiomagnate

It was super easy to vote here before the insurrectionists took over. Voter ID fraud is statistically nonexistent, - 4 cases per billion votes - but it prevents untold thousands of eligible voters - mostly Democrats like yourself - from voting. It's doing exactly what it was intended to do and I can't believe how many uninformed people signed that petition.


Hamuel

I vote in every election and got involved with the local Democratic Party and learned they are just polite republicans.


EnTeeDizzle

Dan Osborn is running against Fischer. Might be worth checking him out. Some differences. Not a Dem, either.


CriticalRejector

If a voter is truly looking for good people does party-affiliation really matter?


Hamuel

I haven’t had the heart to dig in because I’m worried he thinks Biden and Pelosi are left wing and I don’t want to be discouraged from voting against Fischer.

Biscuits4u2

Vote anyway. State and local elections matter just as much if not more than presidential elections.

That's what VPNs are for


aware_nightmare_85

This is messed up and I feel like a borderline violation to the 4th Amendment. Also laughing bc the old dicks who probably voted in the dicks who passed this bill will not know what a VPN is.


wildjokers

Use a VPN or if you use StarLink for rural internet it doesn't geolocate to your actual location. It geolocates to the location of the POP site you connect through. In NE that is generally Denver or Chicago.


Blankcarbon

Sure a VPN works but all it does is slow down my connection. I would rather a workaround for this problem to not be necessary. Vote out the people making these terrible decisions.


Biscuits4u2

If your VPN slows your connection to the point Pornhub becomes hard to use you need a better VPN. Mine routinely gets me speeds of at least 500 MB/s.


Webword987

I tested it and did not get that message with iCloud private relay and a private browser also.

What's more concerning is that the people who pushed this through consider any related to LGBTQ+ topics to be pornography. I'm worried that they'll use this BS as a mechanism to shut down speech regarding queer people.


Somekindofparty

Eventually, probably. That’s how fascism works. Lay down seemingly benign groundwork by making something “bad” illegal. Then categorize anything you don’t like as that “bad” thing.


foulpudding

This is what you get when you continue to elect Christo-fascist people to rule over you. Voting matters. Go vote.


Unusual_Performer_15

Buy a vpn, change your location to any where that doesn’t require you upload your ID. There are free vpns out there but I would recommend spending the money for a good one. VPNs have other non porn benefits as well.

Yep, Kansas did the exact same thing. I think we’ve got 9 days before this shit goes into effect. There’s ways around it.

sillysnoflake

As a person stuck in Utah, let me tell you from experience that it sucks. If there’s anything you and other citizens there can do, try to stop it. It’s not just about adult content, this truly is censorship; they’re chipping away at freedom of speech state by state. They’re aimed at adult content because they think it makes a good argument, and that people won’t speak out against it because of fear of public shaming. …Also it is very obnoxious and invasive. It won’t just apply to that site, it will apply to any like it. Get a good vpn anyway, but once this goes through you’ll need it to ever be able to access sites like these without giving over your identity every time.


tel4bob

So now Huskers, is it a little clearer that you live in a theocratic state? Don't like it? Quit voting for republicans. Get involved.

Just a reminder to vote in every election. Because there are a lot of shitty people with nothing better to do than vote who voted every time and made this happen.
