In the case against Titan Websites, Teeter ruled that the plaintiff failed to show the site "purposefully directed its activities at Kansas."

Incredibly timely and powerful report out today from @publicpubics.bsky.social and @internetmaggie.com laying out the debanking challenges faced by adult industry workers in Canada
FSC's @mikestabile.bsky.social says new laws taxing adult content function as a form of censorship.
"A tax on speech limits that right to those who can afford it... Taxing them because of imagined harms is not only dangerous to our industry, it sets a dangerous precedent for government power."
FSC's @mikestabile.bsky.social explains why the SCREEN Act, and bills like it, are a Trojan Horse for more widespread censorship.

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.
Meet the 2026–27 FSC Board of Directors! www.freespeechcoalition.com/blog/free-sp...

From the Report: 7. Adult entertainment. Lines of business within some banks either strictly restricted access to, or required escalated review for, certain financial products or services in connection with customers engaged in the sale or distribution of adult media and non-media (e.g., “products and services of a sexual nature”).
"The OCC identified instances where at least one bank imposed restrictions on certain industry sectors because they engaged in “activities that, while not illegal, are contrary to [the bank’s] values.” Sectors subjected to restricted access included ... adult entertainment"
If you have not yet reported your banking discrimination story, do it now. Your voice has the power to shift the way the government (and the big banks) do business.

Over the past few years, FSC raised alarms in Washington about debanking of our industry. Thousands of you joined us to file complaints.
Finally, a new government report has affirmed it: major banks wrongly discriminated against adult businesses.
Our work is paying off. Now, we fight for a fix.
