"“Our colleagues from BRDO (Better Regulation Delivery Office) calculated that in 2021, law enforcement officers spent about 85,500 working hours on cases related to the distribution of porn."

All that while Ukraine has been one of the biggest producers of porn ever since at least the 1990s..

oh thank goodness that ReSex thing is just a handful of people printing sex education handbooks, i thought it was something actually arranging sex for soldiers like . that's a fairly misleading quote where she's referring to the need for education/outreach on the topic in all those environments, i mean the last thing a guy who just lost his legs needs is gonorraea.

From the Soviet Union times, we inherited this norm that one can get up to eight years behind bars if this one happens to send their nudes to another person

fucking what

704,667 people received a court summons in 2022 for charges that fall under Article 301 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code, which pertains to pornography

over half a million people while there's a fucking war on are you for real.

this is basically a personal interest story, i don't think decriminalization has a chance, the sponsor is from a tiny party in the opposition.

I suspect in this case they make criminals out of porn users and then stuff them into the meat grinder of war
