What Will the Trump Administration Do to Porn?

• motherboard.vice.com by Lux Alptraum

The morning after the election, I woke up to find I'd been wrong on both counts. And that, somehow, a world where California had rejected Prop 60 but elected President Trump felt much, much worse than the reverse.

But wait, you're probably saying to yourself right now, how can Trump be bad for porn? This is, after all, a man who was featured in a softcore porn video and appeared on the cover of Playboy magazine; a man who happens to be married to a former nude model. Surely those aren't the actions of someone hellbent on cracking down on the adult industry, right?

Throughout Trump's campaign, as he was signing anti-porn pledges and representing a party with a national platform declaring porn to be a "public health crisis," commentators suggested he was probably just pandering to his base rather than expressing a deeply-held belief. Even in the wake of the election, an experienced adult industry attorney assured me there was no way a Trump administration would come after America's pornographers.
