How do you mean more permissive? I thought that, by world and historical standards, US laws are very permissive. The bigger problem in the US is that governments at all levels are willing to use extralegal means to harass porn creators and distributors. For example, the Obama era “Operation Chokepoint” didn’t pass any laws or write any regulations. The Department of Justice just let banks know that although it was perfectly legal for them to do business with the porn industry, they might be investigated for fraud or money laundering if they did. Even today, You can’t pay PornHub with a credit card.
