Recipe for winning: introduce a problem, see society get destroyed by it while you profit from it at the same time, then when a big portion of the poor population has too much debt because of the problem you legalized, ban it and offer a solution a couple of months before the election. Save the people, get elected. Win win
The so called "bets" were authorised to operate in Brazil in 2018 via law 13.756/2018, in the first year of Jair Bolsonaro's presidency.
Jair Bolsonaro, who was found guilty of Federal crimes and is paying his sentence under house arrest due to frail health, is the father of Flávio Bolsonaro, main adversary of incumbent President Lula da Silva.
So it is in fact the opposite of what you described.
China and a lot of islamic and east-asian countries also banned porn and guess what, they're some of the biggest porn watchers in the world because VPNs are a thing and people are hooked for lack of better alternatives because their lives are not amazing and that's one of the few cheap escapisms they have.
>Betting
Same as above, escapism for desperate people. People gamble more when the economy and their lives are FUBAR, even if it's banned. You're focusing on the effect instead of the cause.
>onlyfans
That's the digital version of the world's oldest profession and it survived for thousands of years for a reason. Good luck banning it.
Onlyfans and all of the above are effects of a decaying bankrupt society full of atomized people that lack strong communities, strong support networks. They indulge in vices because they have nothing better to live for. Banning them won't fix this.

I mean, they even cancelled a few taxes that they themselves had approved in the past, just before the elections. What a coincidence!
Betting, porn, onlyfans, should all be banned for a healthy society.
Betting causes clear social issues. People go bankrupt and their families with it.
What issues do porn cause?

Social media to some extent too…
Yes. It's destroying the minds of our youth.
Also infidels, gays, short skirts, bad books, parties on Sundays, and beer. We can achieve that healthy society if we try hard enough!
