DUBLIN — The Senate of the Republic of Ireland — known by its Gaelic name Seanad Éireann — has endorsed an age verification bill introduced by a senator who said he was inspired by the U.S. state laws promoted by religious conservative anti-porn crusaders.

As XBIZ reported, Senator Rónán Mullen introduced his Protection of Children (Online Age Verification) Bill earlier this month, which was backed by Ireland’s upper house after its second reading. The bill is now awaiting the committee stage.

The bill is co-sponsored by fellow Independent senators Michael McDowell, Sharon Keogan and Gerard Craughwell, and three Government senators: Fianna Fáil’s Erin McGreehan, Diarmuid Wilson and Aidan Davitt.

Mullen has claimed that his bill, which replicates the language of similar measures drafted by U.S. and U.K. anti-porn crusaders, is needed to address “widespread public concern about the proliferation of pornographic material freely available on the internet, and about the damage that this can do to children and their families.”

Mullen specifically cited U.S. states’ age verification laws and hailed as a victory the fact that their imprecise language, which has already had a chilling effect on free speech, has led adult companies like Pornhub to stop providing services in those states.

A British religious activist group celebrated the senate’s endorsement of a bill they claim addresses “the dangers of online pornography.”

According to a Christian Institute report, Irish senators offered “wide support for preventing under-18s from accessing pornography as senators highlighted its association with violence against and degradation of women.”

Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media Catherine Martin raised issues with the proposals, but Mullen said the law was needed to “make our society safe for women to walk the streets and go about their daily lives realizing that the men around them see them not as objects but in a respectful, empathic way as equal partners in humanity.”

LOS ANGELES — Jessica Ryan is hosting an OnlyFans livestream on National Scotch Day, tomorrow at 4 p.m. (PDT).

“The best type of self care might be a good scotch and an orgasm or twenty,” Ryan said. “Celebrate my escape from Hollywood and the end of my move with your favorite scotch on National Scotch Day.

“In the wise words of David Daiches, ‘The proper drinking of Scotch whisky is more than indulgence: it is a toast to civilization, a tribute to the continuity of culture, a manifesto of man’s determination to use the resources of nature to refresh mind and body and enjoy to the full the senses with which he has been endowed.’” Ryan added, “And then fuck yourself — in the best sense of the phrase.”

This is why we are introducing a two-year warranty, reflecting our confidence in the quality of our products.”

Dedhar elaborated on some of the company’s product updates.

“We have implemented several design improvements, such as a more robust charging housing to reduce the risk of pin insertion bending, upgraded the PCB, and enhanced the battery capacity and life span,” Dedhar continued. “These improvements have been in production for some time and will be carried over to the new Die Cast R. Additionally, we upgraded the drive spring to ensure a tighter fit and added an extra part to secure the spring in place, preventing it from rising, the collars have also seen an internal design change to allow for a tighter adhesion to the body.”
