As of this week, half of the states in the U.S. are under restrictive age verification laws that require adults to hand over their biometric and personal identification to access legal porn.

Missouri became the 25th state to enact its own age verification law on Sunday. As it’s done in multiple other states, Pornhub and its network of sister sites—some of the largest adult content platforms in the world—pulled service in Missouri, replacing their homepages with a video of performer Cherie DeVille speaking about the privacy risks and chilling effects of age verification.

Never been free. It's called United State OF America. Of has always meant ownership. Also your owned with that birth certificate & your strawman. We don't even own real money, since getting of the gold scale. Alot of people just started catching up to the reality of things, after COVID. Many of us been telling this since early 2000s but back then we were the Tinfoil conspiracy theroists.
