Another senior Trump administration official [Adam Candeub] is gleefully showing off his true colors: The current general counsel for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) published an opinion column with the Heritage Foundation’s news outlet The Daily Signal calling for stronger obscenity regulation.
[…] Candeub proposes a supposed moral restoration of obscenity laws such that anything viewed through the lens of non-traditional sexual expression could be fair game for legislatures to heavily restrict or outright ban.
[…] Candeub works for the FCC and is backing a legal strategy that’s been used, historically, to aggressively prosecute women, LGBTQ+ individuals, entire communities of color, consensual sex workers, and pornographic and non-pornographic publishers for their speech.
This is the FCC presenting itself as the morality speech police.
A lot of those same young men falsely believe they are “addicted to porn & masturbation” and might actually welcome this.
Yeah, sheesh, I’ve sometimes talked to this type and I’m always wondering what is wrong with their brain. I just assume it’s been infected with intolerant zealotry from extreme Christianity.
I suppose there are actually instances of someone that is truly addicted to that, but I think their talk is usually coded as zero tolerance for any.
