Zaslav is by all accounts doing a good job getting Warner Bros back on the right track to become profitable. Part of his strategy has involved ruthlessly shelving finished movies, which makes everyone hate him, but hes a smart businessman.

Spencer has fucked up business-wise AND pissed off developers.
Because putting an unscripted reality show guy as the general manager of an ANIMATION studio is such a smart business move...

From my experience, being anti-horny isn't a political thing. It's being a prude thing and anyone person from any society social or political class can all be prudes.
It's mostly English-speakers who are prudes, though.

The Supreme Court in 1997 unanimously invalidated provisions of a federal law intended to protect minors from indecent material online because it also imposed First Amendment burdens on adults. But in reviewing the Texas law, the 5th Circuit relied instead on a 1968 precedent in which the Supreme Court let stand a New York law barring the distribution of obscene material to minors.

Huh, I didn't know a previous SC already more or less ruled on this.
Can't they use the 1997 ruling to not enforce this law?

"That thing you like, Biden got rid of it"
"oh, why would I vote for that asshole?"
Because Biden is caught in a Catch 22 due to this being a poison pill in an Ukraine aid bill. If he vetoes it, Ukraine loses aid and he'll get criticized for that, and if he signs it, he'll get criticized by the Youth for the Tiktok ban that was inserted into it by some asshole House member.
