    My state actually blocked all porn sites. In theory this is a good thing… however it’s pretty easy to bypass with a VPN. If someone wants to get access to porn there are about a million different ways of doing so.

      I thought all research has shown blocking porn increases rapes and sexual assaults. If that is true a vote to block porn is a vote to increase sexual assaults and rapes without introducing some alternative into the picture

        Do you think politicians care about rape? Chances are. If the numbers are higher, their crimes go unnoticed more.
