texas will probably block us next.
The book bans are currently practice before they start banning more resources such as Wikipedia.
I wish this was a joke but these days I wouldn't put it past them. I don't think it would hold up terribly well since the US doesn't have any form of advanced censorship.
With the current laws on the books, Texas could probably sue Lemmy instances because they contain pornographic content and they don't verify users' identity.
Aren't most Lemmy instances ran in Europe, anyway? At most they'll just block them, right?
Dunno, they'd probably have a hard time suing European instances, but they can't outright block, as that would be unconstitutional. U.S. states have recently been using lawsuits to get around constitutionality. I.e. Texas also has a "bounty" law, where if you know a woman went out of state to get an abortion, you can report it, and the state will sue them and give you $10,000. I think another state has a similar law for if you see a trans person using a restroom that doesn't match the genitalia they were born with.
lmao what??? how would you even know about that?
Hmm. Looks like that was in Texas too. https://truthout.org/articles/a-city-in-texas-just-put-10000-bounties-on-trans-people-using-the-bathroom/, and they're going to pass quite a few more bounty laws yhis year: https://prismreports.org/2025/01/08/bounty-laws-texas-trans-rights-abortion/
Sorry to hear that, hopefully it will turn out all right for trans people in the US.
