On the surface, The Condoms in Pornographic Films Initiative seems like a yes-or-no decision about requiring California porn performers to wear condoms while at work, as it were. To the ordinary voter, this seems like a no-brainer: Of course we want these people to have safer sex. 

Proposition 60, known as California’s “condoms in porn” measure, allows any state resident to sue adult performers and companies when the viewer believes condoms haven’t been used in a porn scene. In the interest of attracting condom cops, the measure gives anyone successfully filing such a lawsuit a cut of the fees imposed on performers – 25% of any fine assessed.

In a statement from the Free Speech Coalition, chief executive Diane Duke said “If the proposed initiative were to pass, adult performers would immediately be targeted by stalkers and profiteers, who would use the initiatives’ sue-a-performer provision to harass and extort adult performers.” She added, “This is an unconscionable initiative that would take a legal and safe industry and push its performers into the shadows.”

The initiative intentionally incentivizes a cyber lynch mob of anti-porners, stalkers, upset family members, and profiteers combing through clip sites/blogs and filing lawsuits.
