Here's the full text of the proposed law: https://legislature.mi.gov/documents/2025-2026/billintroduced/House/htm/2025-HIB-4938.htm
And here's an article going over it: https://reason.com/2025/09/22/michigan-anti-porn-bill-would-criminalize-asmr-written-erotica-and-even-nonsexual-depictions-of-trans-people/
As far as this site is concerned, we will follow all applicable laws for the states that our users reside in. Likely, if my understanding is correct, that would look like preventing Michigan users from accessing the website in order to comply with the bill if it passes.

@VGMoose its sad, but i do definitely understand why. i really hope the bill doesn't get passed
-
-ban pornography
-classify the existence of trans people as such
-justify putting people in prison for existing as who they are -
yeah
-
its fucked up
-
i did have a post asking people in Michigan to vote against this law, but i deleted it bc of contiversy, i might restore the topic later, but that topic could be merged with this one :p
-
im not even in michigan but if this passes, it sets a bad, very bad precedent for the other 49 states
@amongusenjoyer please god dont let it spread if it passes
-
safer states like ca and ny probably wont pass it but i worry about every one else, and also the 2 states i listed.
-
if it spreads to wisconsin, idk what im gonna do. this place and spacehey and roblox are my only forms of community. all 3 will probably ban me from their sites to comply
-
if it passes, and spreads ill be alone. :C
-
i'll unlock that post
-
i think people should see it
-
use a vpn, tor, or private web server
@amongusenjoyer That could land ya in prison :/
-
i mean tor in itself is fully legal to use so long as you arent using it for illegal purposes. if youre using it for anonymity without intent to do bad things with it, less likely you'd be sent to jail for using it
-
oh ok
-
if youre using it for no no reasons youre thinking of and doing illegal things? thats illegal, but if youre using it for privacy without doing illegal things on it, perfectly legal to use
-
the bill says no vpns so thats why i was concerned
