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.

Don't forget to bring your copy of Chairman Trump's little thin-blue-line book when you leave the house, patriot! Otherwise the little 'murica-guards will get you!

🤔 I'm not sure that lawmakers really understand what they're up against. If most VPN locations all eventually require government ID for porn, then some people will likely seek porn from places/networks that are... Less legitimate.

I can't possibly see how this ends poorly.

For anyone curious, the privacy video is in their latest(?) blog post on their site. It should be viewable anywhere as it's outside the NSFW area and before the 18+ notice.

(Just bear in mind that while it should be SFW, it is still under a porn-site's domain.)

NoFx - "Vanilla Sex" hits hard after all these years

And on the flip side, occasional SEO fuckups cause random terms to show porn image results

For example, I was searching for millimetre wave cell towers on duckduckgo a while back, I typed "MM wave cell tower" and saw a whole bunch of massive tiddies on the standard filtering setting. They fixed this a week after me discovering it however, so if you were hoping to see tits from searching telco infrastructure, I suppose you're outa luck.

It's almost like these reps want to have the same leverage over their constituents that Russia has on them...
