      Let's ban "Let's Ban" as a way of framing cultural disapprovalhttps://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/02/10/opinion/sunday/lets-ban-porn.html?referer=https://t.co/WaufgbsD5o?amp=1 …

      2/ In this case, you are being unfair to @DouthatNYT . He isn't lazily using "let's ban" as disapproval, he is claiming as a practical matter that it is "distributed and sold, and therefore subject to regulation and restriction if we so desire"

      I don't agree. He spends 80% of the piece on (interesting, reasonable) preamble and doesn't flesh out the ban argument at all. Compare to how careful and detailed he is when he's arguing about, say, tax –https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/06/opinion/republican-tax-plan.html …

      If he was serious about banning porn he'd give a lot more time and credit to the practical problems with it than this.pic.twitter.com/x00dKq9pyt

      Basically impossible in an era of high speed connections, cheap storage and duplication.

      Unserious blanket statements are the mirror-image of "it's bad, let's ban it". Even Ross's skimpy argument disposes of that -- businesses are subject to regulation. There is a big practical difference between a profitable industry and samizdat.

          If you wiped out all production, there would still be networks distributing what was already in existence for free.

          Out-of-date porn is much less exciting. Further, some of the bad effects Ross was describing are the result of new material always trying to outdo the old.

          But you're not going to stop people getting some stuff that's already extreme to most people and in massive volumes. It's not going to achieve the objective.

          These arguments are so bad I don't really believe you're serious. If porn were as hard to obtain as pirated hollywood movies (which are widespread, but not ubiquitous) that would be a big difference.

          Difference in promotion models. Former relies on freebies to attract customers. Latter uses trailers, mainstream media.

          The government would be playing a constant game of whack-a-mole with foreign websites creating new domains. You might do it if society really wanted to lock people up for possession, but I don't see that happening.
