Someone seems RATTLED

Damn I didn't realise the Ford government weakened it to 2018 and before. Reminds me of a lot of US states, although they have a cutoff in the fucking 70s sometimes

Ideological decisions don't care about precedent.

I haven't had anything remotely like this when sticking to my subscribed communities.

These laws seem ripe for exploitation by contrarian little shits who hate this bullshit and have nothing to lose if they get sued. Amtrak is in Texas – does it count if you're driving them to the station? What if you go off-road? Plus, if I get in my car with someone, what's to stop me and my abortion-seeking friend from driving through the town without stopping? How would anyone have cause to suspect me? If I get pulled over somehow, then this law can't apply, right? It's specifically private citizens.

Since it relies on people suing you, I feel like it leaves a lot of avenues open for someone with the right resources to fight in court.

Literally doing Gods work with comments like these. Thanks for the context and insight.

I had the same dire thought, but this comment really made me take a breath.

Trying to ban everyone from sexual content until 18 is a uniquely modern take.

You keep equating all forms of media that might depict sex, nakedness, or even erotica as porn.

Well, the 70s was before the time of Reagan and Thatcher coming in and wrecking unions and deregulating commerce and industry.
