Donald Trump signs pledge to crack down on Internet porn
Donald Trump has pledged to crack down on Internet pornography via corporate partnerships and possibly establishing a federal commission on the harmful effects of pornography, a nonprofit said Monday. While it appears to be coincidental, Trump’s pledge comes a day after the New York Post’s Sunday edition included a full-page nude photo of Melania Trump, his wife, on its cover. Enough is Enough, a nonprofit dedicated to confronting online pornography, child pornography, child stalking and sexual predation, published Trump’s signed pledge on Monday.

Sorry, man, but you can't fight the Internet. Porn has been the engine of the Internet before there was a www. Hell, people were downloading shitty ascii art porn and 4-bit porn from BBS'es by the boatload way before anyone outside of a big university had heard of email. I know because I used to run one at home.
Actually the reasons that make the Internet a cornucopia of porn are the same reasons why the Internet is a free communication platform. Porn is a sort of canary for freedom of speech.
One of my favorite lines from scrubs:
I wonder if men like Trump ever think of the fact that their trophy wives would never speak to them if they weren't rich? Nice bewbies.
Pay attention now, because this is the part where Liberals defend Child Porn (which is the main focus of the pledge), and bitch about wanting sites to use at least some kind of authentication to try and keep little kids from accessing hardcore porn sites (which is their "it would be nice, but we don't expect it" goal).
For anyone who bothered to actually read the pledge, which obviously doesn't include the author of the PC World article, it clearly states that it wants the President to enforce existing federal laws against child porn "within the limits set forth by the First Amendment", and to work with the porn industry to "step up voluntary efforts to reduce the threat of the Internet-enabled sexual exploitation of children."
But no, please go ahead and tell me how awful Trump is for signing a pledge to fight child porn.
