Okay… so long as we stop there and not let the bit continue. 😬
Ukraine is considering dismantling its ban on pornography as lawmakers seek to bring a large online adult industry into the tax system and redirect millions of dollars toward the country’s wartime needs.
Yaroslav Zhelezniak, an opposition lawmaker who chairs Parliament’s finance committee, estimates legalization could generate as much as $25 million a year, according to The Wall Street Journal.
He says that would be enough to finance about 30,000 drones.
The sum is modest against Ukraine’s stated annual defense requirement of $120 billion.
However, supporters argue the industry is already generating taxable income while operating under laws that expose creators to criminal prosecution.
A bill co-authored by Zhelezniak passed its first parliamentary vote in July and is awaiting a second reading.
Do you want me to start paying for porn?
Because that’s how you get me to start paying for porn.
Why did they ban porn in the first place?
Same reason the US is having problems with conservatives wanting to ban drag shows and have everyone to give all their information to third party companies for age verification. Their imaginary sky daddy told them to be an angry asshole to everyone having fun or minding their own business.
Because Ukraine was once a very conservative country.
Being part of a Soviet Union would do that, unfortunately.
Porn ban started in 2001.
Probably anti-russian/pro-west backlash, tbh. Lot of pro-jesus laws passed around the world as a way to reject the USSR.
Also likely wanting to curtail sex work in general, as Westerners were going to former Soviet countries for sex tourism.
In fact, right after Russia invaded Ukraine, “Ukrainian women” became a top 10 pornhub search.
Well yeah, anything that’s in the news is gonna end up on a porn site. Its like how trans porn trends in right wing states: it’s not cause right wing states are secretly horny for trans people, it’s just that a certain percentage of people treat pornhub like google. Just so happens that Fox News talks about trans folks a lot. Talked about Ukraine a lot back then too.
Curtailing sex work in general, yes. Lots of conservative Orthodox folks over there. Russia too. They’re basically the same people. That border used to feel like Schengen before Schengen.
still is
Tax dat ass?
The local ‘OF stardom’ won’t register, or will just move abroad. The practice of their craft is not bound to any single location.
Ukraine is not a serious country, nor are it’s leaders serious people.
What bar do you set for a country to be considered serious? Because I dont see Ukraine trying to rename the Black Sea to “Lake Ukraine”.
Tankies really are no different from zionists.
Ukraine is not a serious country, nor are it’s leaders serious people.
What do you mean by this?
I guess someone’s Wildberries delivery was cancelled 🤭

Classic .ml moment
To be fair, I couldn’t name even one serious country.

You’re cringe
you seriously went through over a month of my comments one by one? that’s legit hundreds of comments, cus i’m quite active. i think that’s kind of an insane thing to do
i’ve changed my mind since then, and yes, i was cringe at the time
You seem to have made a conscious choice to join and stay on .ml. you’re more than welcome to do that but don’t be surprised when people react negatively to some of your other server members’ tankie comments.
Damn imagine getting clowned on by an unserious country
Yeah, Putin thought that too…
