Why is pornography still alive and not illegal? Why doesn’t the government do about tricking women into them?

That’s not a coincidence.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

But don’t mistake your personal opinion for Moral Truth or the law of the land. If it were, I’d have eggplants (aubergine for you Brits) banned tomorrow.

Why are AI Code Assistant and "multimodal AI" experiencing significant growth, indicating a rising interest in advanced AI tools?

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

Look, this is simple, so I’ll type slowly: The more open, legitimate, and free porn production is, the fewer women are trafficked. Why on earth would you take the risk of trafficking people to force them to do something plenty of people are willing to do voluntarily?

Make a list of the countries where women are treated as second-class citizens or property.
