    More like porn is illegal, just like in half the US. Give it two years we'll hear much worse about gay erotica artists being arrested in Texas and held without trial

        All the posts I read were defending or excusing it.

        Really? I see 95% of the comments saying it's China fucking up and they don't like it.

          Applying nuance and researching more context instead of jerking off while grunting "china bad authoritarianism" isnt defending or excusing. You're just annoyed they dont join your circlejerk.

            My state literally made pornhub illegal today please stop doing apologia and/or propaganda

            China has always banned porn, if that is an issue or you oppose this woman being arrested for producing pornography then you should probably take efforts in america to prevent these exact same laws from being passed in your state (something that is already being done whether you choose to pay attention or not)

            Arguing against anything I said wouldve been more productive and more interesting than promoting an abject lie that american states arent currently implementing the same authoritarian restrictions on legally produced pornography as the CCP with the list of states doing so ever expanding.

            You're welcome to sleepwalk into authoritarianism but I will continue to call it out in spite of people who choose to plug their ears or derail the conversation away from the growing surveillance state in america. Americans cant influence Chinese internal politics, so when something is wrong there they should look at what they can do to prevent the same thing from occurring here instead of just braying about how bad china is for doing what we will be doing within the decade. Why even come here just to be pithy and wrong?

              States are banning pornhub and making websites require ID checks. They're banning porn.

                Very typical .ml whataboutism. Both things can be bad at the same time. This is not a null sum game.

                  As we all know, bringing up American issues is always Whataboutism. But you can use China to excuse anything America does without issue. It's the .world way!

                    That's not illegalizing it & it's not throwing erotica writers in jail.
                    Don't believe me?
                    Cite the laws.

                      They did not.
                      Words mean things.
                      Answered here.
                      Cite the law: you can't.

                      please stop doing apologia and/or propaganda

                      Right back at you: twisting the word illegal.
                      I disapprove of the dumb online ID regulations, too: still not illegal.
                      US isn't throwing pornographers & erotica writers in jail.

                      China has always banned porn

                      You said it.
                      Not banned in USA.

                      You’re welcome to sleepwalk into authoritarianism

                      Chinese government is already there.

                      US still has a long way to "catch up".
                      They're not

                      • sending Ughyers to reeducation camps or forced sterilizations
                      • organ harvesting the Falun Gong
                      • suppressing discussion of the times they've sent tanks against civilians.

                      The Chinese government doesn't care about individual rights & never has: it's baked into the formula.
                      They always put tankie ideology first, the individual later, sometimes far later.

                        So if it's prohibited by a law then it's not illegal?

                          Again, it's not.
                          Again, cite a law.

                            Move the goalpost much? The US is in “the west” and they consistently set the tone and run the show. Welcome to geopolitics hope you enjoy your stay!

                              Weirdly they are more progressive when it comes to prostitution; prostitution isnt illegal, but soliciting it is.

                                      Yes, the model common to the Nordic, Vietnam, Cuba, etc.

                                      Not criminalizing solicitation or brothels increases the number of prostitutes who end up working under coercive conditions.

                                        "I've been warned not to talk about it," the woman wrote, before revealing snippets of the day she says she was arrested for publishing gay erotica.

                                        "I'll never forget it - being escorted to the car in full view, enduring the humiliation of stripping naked for examination in front of strangers, putting on a vest for photos, sitting in the chair, shaking with fear, my heart pounding."

                                        The handle, Pingping Anan Yongfu, is among at least 8 in recent months which have shared accounts on Chinese social media platform Weibo of being arrested for publishing gay erotic fiction. As authors recounted their experiences, dozens of lawyers offered pro bono help.

                                        At least 30 writers, nearly all of them women in their 20s, have been arrested across the country since February, a lawyer defending one told the BBC. Many are out on bail or awaiting trial, but some are still in custody. Another lawyer told the BBC that many more contributors were summoned for questioning.
