Black Friday and Cyber Monday have already come and gone, but some brands are keeping the deals going into Cyber Week. Thankfully, that includes Samsung, which is still offering major discounts on its popular line of QLED art TVs, aka The Frame. With both Best Buy and Amazon matching or beating these deals, you still have a little more time to grab these TVs at a discount.

This year, our tech editor named The Frame one of the best tech gifts of the year, calling it easily the best TV in the world.

Here's what Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Werth has to say about The Frame: "What makes these TVs so special? There's Art Mode, obviously. It's an ingenious idea that lets your TV function as a digital art gallery when it's not in use, so your TV actually enhances your home decor instead of subtracting from it. But the TV itself is also very good. It's unbelievably thin, and really deserves to be hung on your living room wall. On top of that, it's one of Samsung's only TVs with a special matte, anti-glare display, which makes it easier to watch TV even in direct sunlight. For all these reasons, I strongly believe it's the world's best TV right now."

Honestly, as much as we love 65-inch TVs, we actually think The Frame works best in a more understated 50 or 55-inch version. And while the 2025 model is on sale, that's our top recommendation. At Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung, you can save $300 on this award-winning QLED art TV. You'll be able to display classic artwork, gorgeous photographs, and select work from world-renowned museums like New York's Museum of Modern Art. Plus, a new AI processor results in smoother motion when watching movies and sports.

For those looking to invest in a slightly larger TV for their home, Best Buy's also offering an excellent discount on last year's 65-inch Samsung The Frame TV. This model has dropped by a whopping $1,000 as part of the retailer's Black Friday-Cyber Monday sale, allowing you to scoop it up for $999.99 instead of $1,999.99.

Samsung's 75-inch The Frame Pro is a great pickup for anyone hoping to go big this year. Over at Amazon, the Samsung 75-inch The Frame Pro has dropped from $2,997.99 to $1,997.99, saving you $1,000. It's worth noting that this TV is being sold by Walts TV. We generally don't recommend shopping with third-party sellers, so buyer beware. Check reviews and make your decision carefully.

New for 2025, the new The Frame Pro is a Neo QLED TV, which Mashable's Leah Stodart described in her CES 2025 coverage as, "Samsung's term of endearment for mini LED, which offer more precise lighting due to their ability to be individually controlled, and the fact that there are more of them (compared to larger LED bulbs)." It also comes with Samsung's Vision AI and Pantone Validated Artful Color. To learn more, check out our breakdown of what to know about Samsung's The Frame Pro from when it was released.

Google launched Android 16 back in June, and with it came a ton of features and updates. Usually, that’s all Google does until the next version, which is expected to be released in beta sometime in January or February 2026. That isn’t the case this time, as Google just announced several new features coming to Android 16 as a sort of mid-cycle refresh for the OS. 

As per the norm these days, a sizable percentage of the new features will be powered by AI and leverage Gemini's ability to categorize and summarize data. The rest are extra features coming to apps like Google’s Phone and additional customizations you can use to personalize your phone even more. 

Google posted not one, but two blog posts about what’s coming up, so you know it’s going to be good. To save you some clicks, here’s everything coming in the next feature-packed Android 16 update. The December Android 16 update should roll out to Pixel devices starting today (Tuesday, Nov. 2), with other Android devices getting the updates when their OEMs get around to it.

Now, Gemini can help make sense of your notifications. Credit: Google AI can manage your notifications

Two of the big changes are coming to notifications. The first one is pretty simple. Google will allow AI to summarize long notifications (such as multiple messages in a group text) into a short summary to let you know what happened when you were away. These summaries can take several texts and sum them up in a sentence or two, making them easier to scan through while checking them quickly. It seems as though this is specifically targeted at group chats with lots of messages, but it may work with other types of messages as well.

Credit: Google

The other big notification change is an organizer function. This is vaguely similar to how Gmail filters messages and looks about the same in practice. Your various notifications will be categorized into things like News, Promotions, and others, thus letting you check your notifications as you please based on what kind of stuff you want to see. It’s a small change, but as a writer who gets probably 55 emails a day, this is going to be an awesome feature for me. 

Let your loved ones know its urgent. Credit: Google Mark your calls as urgent

Cell phones make phone calls, and although that isn’t what people use them for most often these days, Google still wants to make the experience as good as possible. One of the new features is the ability to mark a phone call as urgent when you place the call to communicate to the other person that this isn’t an everyday catch-up call and that they need to answer the phone. 

This feature is rolling out to the Google Phone app. When you place the call, you’ll have an option to mark the call as urgent. The recipient will see that the call is urgent on their end. Even if they miss the call, it’ll be marked as urgent in their call logs, so that they know to call back as soon as they can. 

Themed icons and better dark mode

One of the long-awaited and consistently asked for features is the ability to theme icons within Android. This was previously doable with icon packs, but you also needed a custom launcher to use them. Google has finally included at least some custom icon functionality in Android itself, giving users the ability to customize their homescreens further without the need for a ton of additional downloads. 

Credit: Google

The themed icons have three main functions. You can customize the icon shapes, and it’ll theme the icons using the same Material 3 Expressive theming that the rest of your phone uses to theme things. This should create a more consistent and minimal icon design, giving the end user more control over how things look. 

As an aside, Google also mentioned an expanded dark mode that will work on apps that don’t have a dark mode built into them already. That’s not terribly common these days, as most apps have a dedicated dark mode, but it helps smooth out those rough edges for apps that don’t.

Dip out of unwanted group chats quickly (while reporting them)

Getting pulled into a group chat can be annoying, especially when the group starts acting a fool (or worse, when it’s spam). Google Messages is getting a new feature to remove yourself from such chats as quickly as possible. This function works pretty simply. When you’re pulled into a group chat under certain conditions, like being added from an unknown number, you’ll get the option to leave the group chat straight from the chat itself, while also giving you the opportunity to block and report the number as spam. 

Credit: Google Circle to Search can find spam

Speaking of spam, Google is adding another feature to help you track it down and get rid of it faster. When you receive something that you might suspect to be spam, you can active Google’s Circle to Search function and circle the message. An AI overview will pop up letting you know whether the message is likely legitimate or if it’s definitely spam. If it is spam, you know to delete, block, and report the message so you don’t get it again.

Credit: Google See emotions in Live Caption video

Live Caption already does a lot for people with hearing loss. Now, Google is expanding this functionality with what it calls Expressive Captions. The idea is pretty simple. Not only will Live Caption write what people are saying, but it will also listen to their tone of voice and show you the emotion with which people are speaking. 

Credit: Google

Given that text has no tone intrinsically, it can lead to a variety of communication problems. This solves that problem by making an educated guess based on the context of the video. It likely won’t be 100 percent accurate all the time, as human emotions are complicated, but it’s still a neat idea, especially when video calling with friends.

Better parental controls

Safety and security are usually in the spotlight when it comes to Android releases, and this time is no different. Google has added some new parental controls to the Settings menu, giving parents an easier place to access such controls on a child’s device. The setting is protected by a PIN, so kids can’t easily get into it, allowing parents to configure things on the child’s device without worry that the child will get into it. 

Some of the new features in this parental control settings menu will include setting the amount of screen time, scheduling downtime to lock the device for things like sleep, controlling app usage to limit time spent on apps or to block them entirely, and granting additional time if need be. Parents will also have direct links to Google Family Link, where they can set more things like app purchase approvals, location alerts, and more.

Emoji Kitchen and voice dictation in Gboard

The Emoji Kitchen is a neat little idea that lets you create custom emojis by combining two existing emotes, much like that silly Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen song from years ago. This one is pretty simple. It still functions as it did in Google’s Gboard app, but now includes new sticker combinations, including some made for the holiday season. 

Look, the little monkeys are hugging each other. Credit: Google

Gboard is also making it easier to use voice dictation in Gboard. The new gesture is a two-finger double-tap, and once engaged, it will let you use voice dictation without hitting the specific microphone button on the keyboard. It’s a little thing, but the motor skill-impaired may find this useful over having to tap a small button on the keyboard. Gemini’s Smart Dictation feature will also let you type and edit text, and even shorten the text for you with the power of AI.

This is exactly what you think it is and works exactly how you think it does. Much like the desktop version, the mobile version of Chrome now lets you pin tabs. These tabs remain even if you clear out the rest of them, allowing you to save important webpages for later. Of course, the bookmarks function also lets you do this, but this is still very useful, especially if you don’t like using bookmarks. 

December Android 16 update: More miscellaneous updates

There are plenty of other small things that got looped into the update, and they’re not quite enough for their own sections, so here’s a rapid-fire list of additional small changes. 

• A shortcut for Live Caption is now available at the bottom of the volume slider. 

• The “Enhanced HDR brightness” setting now has an intensity slider letting you set it either dimmer or brighter. 

• Google’s Health Connect now automatically adds steps tracked by your device. 

• A Pixel Launcher design tweak has increased the size of the microphone, Google Lens, and AI mode icons while adding an extra dash of color. 

• Widgets make a return to the lock screen. Head to Settings > Display & touch > Lock screen > Widgets on lock screen to use them. 

• Google has updated its Guided Frames feature in the Pixel camera app to give longer, more detailed explanations when describing what’s in the frame. 

• Users can also now activate Voice Access by simply asking for it. Say “Hey Google” and then “start Voice Access” instead of hunting it down in the settings. 

• Fast Pair is extending to hearing aids made by Demant, a conglomerate that includes the brands Oticon, Sonic, and Bernafon.

There are also a host of under-the-hood changes that are aimed primarily at developers. These are too numerous to list, but you can see them yourself (along with any features we missed) on the Android Developers website. Some of them include boilerplate things like improved app performance and better battery life as well. 

Android 16 is an update worth having

Despite the fact that this is still the same Android 16 that launched just a few months ago, it feels as much like a new Android update as anything I’ve seen in the last few years. There’s plenty to like here, especially the extra refinements to the design. Notification categories and themed icons win the day in terms of making OS customization and productivity feel more complete, and everything else is just icing on the cake. 

If you’re shopping for a comfortable, upscale SUV without luxury-brand pricing, one Nissan model stands out as an unexpected gem. Despite wearing a mainstream badge, this midsize SUV delivers cabin quality, ride comfort, and premium features that rival what you’d expect from an Infiniti, at a far more attainable price point.

FreeBSD, the open-source operating system, just released a new major update. FreeBSD 15 includes overhauled package management, new versions of utilities like OpenZFS and OpenSSL, and the end of support for most 32-bit hardware.

PC builders love installing the latest and shiniest CPUs in their systems. This is generally a good thing, as current-generation chips typically deliver excellent performance at a reasonable cost. And they won’t bottleneck your graphics card in games—unlike some older chips that have aged like fine milk.

MSI just announced the MS-CF20 V2.0, an ATX motherboard intended for industrial settings and other embedded electronics. That unusual market segment calls for an unusual mix of connectivity, including a total of four 2.5G Ethernet ports.

Once upon a time, Americans lined up in droves outside Walmarts and Targets, still full from Thanksgiving dinner, so they could be first in the door at midnight. Thankfully, these frenzied Black Friday free-for-alls are a relic of a bygone era. Now, you can order all of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals online — though not for much longer.

Cyber Monday is officially over. The Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target sales are done (you've got until Dec. 3 to shop at the Home Depot, however). But Mashable is working around the clock to bring you live updates on all of the standout deals and price drops still live after Cyber Monday.

Dyson deals are hit or miss during the two Prime Days of the year (Amazon seems to have a wonky relationship with Dyson vacuums deals, specifically). Like always, there were way better Black Friday deals on Dyson vacuums in 2025, as well as a handful of worthwhile Dyson hair tool discounts (like a rare $150 off the Airwrap i.d.).

Almost every single one of those impressive Dyson deals is still around the day after Cyber Monday — if you didn't make your move over the weekend, you've been given another chance to shave a few hundred dollars off of the brand known for being expensive.

Dyson's own Cyber Week sale easily has the best variety of hair tool deals and cordless stick vacuum deals, including a few exclusive deals that other retailers don't have. But Walmart's extended Cyber Monday sale does still include the same stellar deal on Mashable's favorite stick vacuum, and Amazon is in the mix, too. A few vacuums and hair tools have even gotten cheaper by $10 to $50 since we first saw them on sale on Thanksgiving.

We've rounded up all of the best Dyson Cyber Monday deals still live as of Dec. 2 and will update this guide as they taper off or sell out.

Any time my favorite vacuum ever gets several hundred dollars cheaper, it's going to be the first deal I recommend. The Dyson V12 Detect Slim is currently the most affordable Dyson vacuum with the green laser, now less than $400 compared to its usual $729.99. The laser, which illuminates tiny specks and hair that aren't super visible to the naked eye, should be an immediate selling point for any household with pets and a lot of hard floors. You have no idea how dusty your floors get within even 24 hours.

I've used the V12 Detect Slim almost daily for well over three years now, and it's still kicking — as long as you clean it properly, this purchase should last you quite a while. When I'm not using it on the floor in those daily sessions, I'm switching it to handheld mode to clean fur off the couch with the mini motorized attachment or clean out my car with the crevice attachment. It's compact and lightweight enough to comfortably hold with one hand (I can't say the same about the massive Gen5 series Dysons). Though I've tested countless cordless vacuums, the V12 Detect Slim's user-friendliness just can't be beat.

The newest and improved version of Dyson's classic hair dryer, the Supersonic Nural, is still at its Black Friday price of $399.99. That's still pretty steep for a hair dryer even if it's the best of the best, but hear us out.

Up until the aftermath of Cyber Monday, our favorite Dyson hair tool deal was actually on that classic Supersonic — it was just $299.99 for the version with three attachments. But that's gone as of Dec. 2, and we're now looking at a $379.99 sale price on the classic Supersonic with five attachments. And at that point, why not just spend $20 more to get the Supersonic Nural that also comes with five attachments? The extra $20 would save your scalp from being fried with hot air (the Nural automatically turns down the temperature when it's near your scalp). The Nural also automatically pauses airflow when set down for a second.

Allergies or not, your body will thank you for running an air purifier all the time. I can confirm that the Dyson HushJet is as "hushed" as the title implies, making it the rare actually-quiet air purifier that you won't mind running 24/7. Within a day of bringing the HushJet home, it took the air quality in my living room from "very poor" to "good," as shown through a particle sensor breakdown in the app. The coolest part? After your initial purchase, you won't have to spend money on new filters every six months. The HushJet's high-tech filter should last for five years.

Don't fall for this one Dyson deal

For all of the Dyson deals I recommend, there's one Dyson deal you should avoid: The 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum on sale for $349.99. Though the drop from its MSRP of $999.99 seems killer on its face, the vacuum itself is going to kill your faith in robot vacuums (it would have for me if I didn't test a million others for a living). The 360 Vis Nav's strong suction power can't make up for the fact that it doesn't self-empty, doesn't mop, and doesn't have small obstacle avoidance technology. There are much better robot vacuums still on sale for under $500 after Cyber Monday, and Dyson is releasing a new robot vacuum in 2026, anyway.

My Raspberry Pi 500+ has finally been delivered, but I kept the order brief so I could keep the cost down. In spite of my attempts at being frugal, I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t toyed with the idea of throwing a few more items on the order.

Linux usage on Steam has officially hit an all-time high, reaching 3.2% market share according to the Steam Survey results for November 2025. This is fantastic news for the open-source community, and it shows that the momentum driven by Valve’s hardware strategy isn't slowing down at all.

Shoppers dropped a lot of cash during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Despite substantial economic concerns for U.S. consumers, shoppers in the country spent record amounts. Online spending hit a record-high $11.8 billion on Black Friday itself, NBC News reported, citing figures from Adobe Analytics. The same firm estimated shoppers spent $6.4 billion online on Thanksgiving Day, plus another $11.8 billion online over the weekend. U.S. shoppers spent some $14.25 billion online on Cyber Monday, according to Adobe, via Reuters. For those keeping score at home, that brings the whopping grand total to about $44.2 billion in online shopping from Black Friday through Cyber Monday.

We don't have as compelling data about in-person shopping, but the National Retail Federation (NRF) told Reuters that 129.5 million consumers showed up to shop in person, which represents a 3 percent uptick from last year. The NRF found that shoppers dropped an average of $337.86 this year, up from $315.56 in 2024.

So it seems folks were ready to shop this year. Perhaps now, more than ever, they were looking for a good deal.

Python 3.14 was released back in October, but a few bugs managed to push through the big release, and a few other changes weren't ready for prime time. A new minor update has now arrived as Python 3.14.1, with its own pile of bug fixes and a few new features.

Legos are one of the classic Black Friday-Cyber Monday deals, and this year they've been selling quickly. We've seen sets sell out just hours after we've first written about them, and holiday shoppers are moving fast this year.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday always deliver great deals on toys, and discounted Legos are an absolutely crucial building block of Cyber Week toy deals. In 2025, we saw a super-strong wave of Black Friday Lego deals, many of which carried over into Cyber Monday. We're bummed about the handful of deals on super popular sets that have disappeared, but are simultaneously psyched about the handful of new Lego deals that are still live post-Cyber Monday.

Of all the Lego deals we've seen over the past few days, our favorites include coveted Lego Star Wars (including sets retiring soon), Disney Lego sets, Lego Botanicals, and more, almost all at record-low pricing. If one catches your eye, grab it while it's still available.

Now that Stranger Things is finally back, it only feels appropriate that the Lego version of the Pac-Man arcade game is still at its record-low Black Friday price of less than $200. It's a best-seller on the Lego website, but is still at its full $269.99 at the Lego website and backordered for 60 days over there — so all nostalgic video game lovers should grab this Lego deal at Amazon before it inevitably disappears.

Target's official Black Friday sale started on Nov. 23, and with it came several new Lego deals we hadn't seen the week prior.

Since Android Jelly Bean in 2012, Google has released one major version update each year. That’s changing with Android 16, as the company is shifting away from a single, massive annual release to more frequent feature rollouts. The most recent Android 16 release starts today.

When you look at the huge world of software development that's always changing, choosing a code editor is probably the most personal and important choice a developer makes. VS Code is a great place to start, but it has so many limitations and issues with privacy that you may end up looking for alternatives.

SHOP NOW: As of Dec. 2, Kobo has officially launched the Kobo Remote, built to work with any Kobo e-reader. Grab one now alongside the still discounted Kobo Libra Colour and save $30 and your coziest reading set-up yet.

It's finally here: a built-in remote for your e-reader. Your Kobo e-reader that is.

In early October, Kobo, the maker of our favorite e-readers including the Clara Colour and Libra Colour, announced that it was launching a remote, compatible with all of its e-readers. The new remote's launch date was pushed back from Nov. 4 to Dec. 2, and now it's finally here.

The Kobo Remote pairs with Kobo e-readers via Bluetooth, allowing users to turn the page with the remote rather than on the e-reader. It has an ergonomic design so your head doesn't get stuck in an uncomfortable cramp during your reading marathon. The remote retails for $29.99 and comes in either black or white.

This accessory comes with the rising popularity of remote page turners on TikTok. Kobo even beat e-reader giant Amazon to the punch, as there's no native remote sold for Kindles. The most popular options are two piece remotes that require a piece that clips onto e-readers and taps the screen. The Kobo Remote is a single piece, leaving your screen totally unobstructed.

The Kobo Remote is available at just the right time. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the Kobo Libra Colour, our favorite color e-reader, is still on sale. You can grab the color e-reader that comes with coveted page-turning buttons for just $199.99, saving you $30. Those $30 you're saving can go straight toward the remote, so you're basically getting it for free.

Shop the Kobo Remote and the discounted Kobo Libra Colour at Kobo now.

The Zig Programming Language is officially quitting GitHub and moving its main repository over to Codeberg. The reasoning is a collapse in engineering quality and an aggressive push toward artificial intelligence tools. It is the most direct shot at Copilot from a developer I've seen in some time.

AI developer Anthropic is honoring this Giving Tuesday with new trainings and features for its popular chatbot, Claude, that are specifically designed for the needs of nonprofits.

The Claude for Nonprofits package provides nonprofit organizations with discounted Claude access (up to 75 percent off); integrations with nonprofit tools like Blackbaud, Candid, and Benevity; as well as free use case guides and an AI Fluency for Nonprofits training course for AI beginners.

The company explains that its upgraded Claude Sonnet 4.5, and advanced coding model, is also trained for grant writing and program analysis. It's safety-forward Haiku 4.5, meanwhile, speeds up processing at reduced costs. Both are available to Claude for Nonprofits users. Claude can also connect to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Asana, Slack, and Box.

AI adoption across the nonprofit sector has been scattered, due in part to continued skepticism about the safety, privacy, and reliability of generative AI —and of the very nature of the sector's work. Many organizations are hard pressed to devote resources and time to the kind of training and infrastructure needed to ethically integrate the technology amid threatened funding streams, while others see its use as antithetical to their mission. Still, recent data shows widespread interest, but preparedness is low and adoption is slow. Of the AI developers and tech funders that have tried, few have been able to fully fill those gaps.

Claude for Nonprofits is thus built to support a nonprofit's tech infrastructure needs. "Nonprofits tackle some of society’s most difficult problems, often with limited resources," wrote Anthropic. "From our partners, we know AI helps most when it fits into existing workflows, upholds the privacy their communities expect, and is affordable." The developer has also partnered with nonprofit consulting organizations to provide tailored support to organizations.

According to Anthropic, Claude is already used by organizations like the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the YMCA, and the Epilepsy Foundation — the IRC also recently announced its own, in-house chatbot designed specifically to provide emergency assistance and support to refugee populations in the U.S. Claude for Nonprofits will be piloted among a cohort of 60 organizations who receive grants from funders like the Constellation Fund, Robin Hood, and Tipping Point Community.

UPDATE: Dec. 2, 2025, 1:11 p.m. EST This article has been updated given the enactment of Missouri's age-verification law.

The explicit tube site Pornhub is now blocked in 23 U.S. states.

This is due to age-verification laws. These laws vary state by state, but typically require visitors of a site with over a third of explicit content to submit a government ID or other form of age authentication. Louisiana was the first state to enact such a bill a couple of years ago, and now others have followed suit. In June, the Supreme Court deemed Texas's age-verification law constitutional, setting a precedent for such bills that come before and after.

SEE ALSO: Porn censorship is going to destroy the entire internet

According to one preliminary study, age verification won't work to keep minors off porn sites. This is because of software like VPNs that allow someone to appear to be in a different location, and because of non-compliant websites. (The Florida attorney general is suing foreign-based porn sites for not instituting age verification.) Yet, these laws keep getting passed — and are encroaching on non-explicit websites as well, experts told Mashable.

While Pornhub is not blocked in Louisiana, it is blocked in these states, a Pornhub representative confirmed to Mashable:

• Alabama

• Arizona

• Arkansas

• Florida

• Georgia

• Idaho

• Indiana

• Kansas

• Kentucky

• Mississippi

• Missouri

• Montana

• Nebraska

• North Carolina

• North Dakota

• Oklahoma

• South Carolina

• South Dakota

• Tennessee

• Texas

• Utah

• Virginia

• Wyoming

Pornhub isn't blocked in Ohio despite the state's age-verification law, due to a clause stating that establishing age verification methods doesn't apply to a provider of an interactive computer service (Aylo considers itself one).

In Louisiana, where users must submit ID to view Pornhub, the site has seen traffic decline by around 80 percent, Aylo (Pornhub's parent company) told Mashable.

"These people did not stop looking for porn. They just migrated to darker corners of the internet that don't ask users to verify age, that don't follow the law, that don't take user safety seriously, and that often don't even moderate content. In practice, the laws have just made the internet more dangerous for adults and children," Aylo stated when asked for comment by Mashable back in January.

In a statement to Mashable, Aylo continued:

First, to be clear, Aylo has publicly supported age verification of users for years, but we believe that any law to this effect must preserve user safety and privacy, and must effectively protect children from accessing content intended for adults.

Unfortunately, the way many jurisdictions worldwide have chosen to implement age verification is ineffective, haphazard, and dangerous. Any regulations that require hundreds of thousands of adult sites to collect significant amounts of highly sensitive personal information is putting user safety in jeopardy. Moreover, as experience has demonstrated, unless properly enforced, users will simply access non-compliant sites or find other methods of evading these laws.

Industry experts say that, in addition to not working for their intended purpose, age verification laws also raise concerns about privacy protection and safety since websites now have to host (even more of) people's personal information. It will be harder to be anonymous online, which experts warn is dangerous to free speech. Adult industry experts Mashable spoke to in an explainer on age-verification laws advocated for device-level filters, as did Aylo in its statement.

Some in the adult industry worry about what Trump's second presidential term will bring due to the conservative policy outline Project 2025 and its measures to ban porn. One of Project 2025's authors, Russell Vought, was caught on a secret recording stating that age-verification laws are the "back door" to a broader porn ban.
