Anti-Porn Activist Flips Out After Censorship Bill Withdrawn in ND Legislature

Today on my radio show I had on as a guest anti-porn activist Chris Severe to talk about that “pornography vending machine” censorship legislation which was withdrawn in the state House earlier today.

Severe is part of a group that’s been pushing similar legislation in a number of states, calling it the “Human Trafficking Prevention Act.” Which seems entirely misleading. While there’s no question that human tracking, and stuff like child pornography, are real problems the idea that mandating censorship hardware/software in every internet-capable device we own is the way to solve those problem is ridiculous.

If you look at their website, it quickly becomes clear that this group’s real beef isn’t so much human trafficking, etc., etc. but plain old porn. The legal kind made for consenting adults by consenting adults.
Severe didn’t take too kindly to me challenging him on these issues during our interview. He accused me of being a member of the “liberal media,” and at one point even seemed to suggest that I watch child pornography.
