Intelligence summary

Ukraine is considering legalizing consensual adult content so it can tax an industry that already exists underground. About 7,900 Ukrainians earned over $131 million on OnlyFans in 2023 alone, but producing pornography is still a crime carrying up to seven years. The bill passed its first reading with 231 votes in July. Backers say proper taxation could bring in $25 million a year — "enough for 30,000 drones."
