Why not ban nudity on the Internet full stop they won't because of all the elite perverts
How many companies advertising fake games on the internet have been prosecuted for not paying out their agreed payouts ?
Is she sure it was a man they could of identified as an elephant and just let his trunk swing
Are ya sure it was a man, or did you assume?
Look who's talking! Mia should stick to what she's the best at!
Oh look 1 – 0 to the ladies but I don't think the men will even get a point in this category
Oh course it was a guy. No guy in the world has ever reported a woman to the police for sending nudes 🤣🤣🤣
So, every female porn advert ever posted on the internet is now illegal? Thought not.
No decent human ever gets involved in this type of behaviour, and those committing these offences obviously deserve to be punished. So this is definitely welcome.
However, this new law does already appear to be intentionally targeted at men.
So when are gonna make it illegal to stop grown women advertising their porn to kids on literally websites for kids like twitch or what about all the snapchat girls that sell nudes that literally will send you "preview nudes" even if you are a kid and they know you are. Snapchat girls who send nudes will never be effected by this. I literally had to delete my snapchat account when i was 13 became of the amount of onlyfans girls that would add me and try to sell me nudes. But we all know nothing will happen to them because apparently its only young girls that have the right to not be sent nudes without asking. And the funny thing is snapchat knows about this but they dont need to stop it because its not effecting girls just boys.
"and yes, it was a man" is a male shaming sexist comment!
You'd think she would know better! Maybe she works for the BBC
HYPOCRISY. Flowers are sexual organs. Should they be banned too?
Flashing…of course! Intrusive. Unwanted. Obscene. Excellent law!
I get cyberflashed by twitter thots everyday
To be honest, one adult flashing to another adult shouldn't be that big of a deal.
Grindr use drops to zero
Seriously, to a 15 year old girl???!!! That's just next level vile….
About time.
Of course it was a guy because women are all over twitter and Instagram feed sending onlyfans to get subscriber 😂😂😂
I don't seen a problem here
Tinder just decided to go into gaming 😂
These perverts sorts are all the same. Send them baaaaaackwhaaaaat?!
What about women?
Alright folks, 2 years in prison for all those promoting their only fans!
