Even if it were just extreme NSFW accounts, that still wouldn't be okay. As long as it's legal NSFW content, it's NOT. THEIR. JOBS. to police or censor it.

So we've noted repeatedly how there's a real push afoot to implement statewide "right to repair" laws that try to make it cheaper, easier, and environmentally friendlier for you to repair the technology you own. Unfortunately, while all fifty states have at least flirted with the idea, only Massachusetts, New York, Minnesota, Colorado, California, and Oregon, and Washington have actually passed laws.

Excuse me what? The RIAA is now funding NCOSE to file bullshit amicus briefs before the Supreme Court?!?

If you don't know NCOSE actually started as "Operation Yorkville" and then "Morality in Media" an extremist religious org focused on stomping out ALL adult content, which they describe as pornographic. But it includes anything from LGBTQ content to atheism. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...
![Operation Yorkville
Operation Yorkville (OY) was founded by an interfaith group of three New York City clergymen in 1962.[6] Father Morton A. Hill of St. Ignatius Loyola Catholic Church became the public face of the group.[7] The group connected exposure to different types of "salacious" magazines and pornography to atheism, obscenity, homosexuality, juvenile delinquency, masturbation, murder, sexually transmitted diseases and "high school sex clubs", but did not provide evidence for its claims.[8] Although the group's actions emphasized the protection of minors, First Amendment Law Review wrote that "at times the organization seemed to be using children as a pretext for a society-wide ban".[9] The group maintained that they were fighting obscenities and not advocating censorship.[10] In 1963, the organization began a long-running effort to ban John Cleland's erotic novel Fanny Hill, which ended with the 1966 Supreme Court decision Memoirs v. Massachusetts.[11]
Morality in Media
Operation Yorkville was renamed to Morality in Media (MIM) in 1968.[12] Hill, president of MIM until his death in 1985, was appointed to serve on the 18-member President's Commission on Obscenity and Pornography by President Lyndon B. Johnson.[13] A report was submitted in 1970 that said all "adult" obscenity laws should be repealed.[13] Hill called the commission's report a "magna carta for the pornographers".[14] After the four justices nominated by President Richard Nixon reshaped the Supreme Court, the Burger Court disregarded the commission's report and upheld obscenity laws in 1973, citing the dissenting reports by Hill, minister Winfrey Link and Charles Keating, the leader of the Citizens for Decent Literature.[15] In 1973, a member of the group complained to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) about George Carlin's anti-censorship routine "Seven Dirty Words", leading to the 1978 decision FCC v. Pacifica Foundation.[16] In 1980, the organization launched an unsuccessful lawsu…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do/bafkreifftbqi4jqgzci36u62zop475hc5u6hm3tljtvhnvrcfdomqdclwq@jpeg)
