Just an open question since we keep getting situations like this where the industry effectively admits it is incapable and unwilling to act to stop the worst elements of the industry (child exploitation, human trafficking, forced involvement, rape etc) that it's probably best to just ban the industry together.
Notice though I said using real people, with AI slowly getting better and CGI improving, why do we need real people to make porn? Just have something animated to be realistic enough as I don't give a fuck about pixels or a drawing. Have whatever kink you want, have entire porn snuff films whatever as no REAL people are getting harmed in the making if it. The worst that can happen is stressed artists trying to meet deadlines.
This might also affect adult streamers which is just a bonus as it'll be like a re-run of Projekt Melody when she became more popular since she did more than just strip and stare blankly at the camera till donations came in. A lot of porn or porn in all but name streaming (which I include Twitch on that) get money off just simply being pretty and that's it, denying that as an easy route will probably cause a shift in a lot of media.
I wouldn't advocate a FULL ban as no matter your feeling on it generally, it is a release so going full puritan invites a backlash and probably just forces more men to deal with insufferable feminist women. But just making that release fully fictional based than support an industry that sweeps horrific practices under the rug for money is probably for the best.
"You can't legislate morality" is an old libertarian saw, but despite its origins I think it's a truthful statement. AI would have to effectively supplant live action porn, then a ban would actually work at that point, as the normie discussion becomes about disposing of an obsolete thing rather than "congress trying to stop us from jacking it."
But it's not a totally true statement. You can enforce morality from the top down - that's what the left has done for a decade now, just not through legislation. If a right wing corporate cartel or similar entity was able to capture Twitch and purge titty streamers, then run any site that hosted Pokimane or Amouranth out of business, normies would move on. Most people are stupid cows at some level who just want to work and eat.
This might even work against regular porn. It gets brought up constantly that Tumblr fell on its sword by banning NSFW (because people like to think of free porn as a law of nature), but that wouldn't matter to a top down scheme. Tumblr isn't profitable now, so what? Anybody looking to fill that niche gets banned off the app stores. Anyone flirting with making porn gets exiled from Mastercard and Visa. The market will not be able to respond. This would never happen obviously because our elites have a vested interest in breaking down the country, not helping it, but if they were magically replaced by the Aladdin genie then I think it's a realistic scenario.
Believe it or not, this country existed without hardcore porn before 1950, when it was invented by Jews.
Our current state of degeneracy is not solely due to government legalizing things that are immoral, but also due to them criminalizing or censoring the moral forces that stand in opposition to immorality. That's the opposite of what libertarians advocate for: it's the product of a government with a moral agenda. If we had a government that understood that its role is not to act as a moral arbiter, then the degenerate cultural forces would be suppressed by moral cultural forces that were free to act without constraint.
Except that libertarians, or White people in general, don't like to advocate for or enforce their positions/views upon society. We've all been gaslit into thinking that advocating for what we want is somehow despotic and tyrannical. We "live and let live" while the rest of the damned planet is more than happy to exert their will upon us.
What does that have to do with banning or not banning porn?
