At the dawn of the new year, Pornhub will leave Florida. Thanks to a harsh new age verification law that takes effect on January 1, the porn giant will no longer do business in the sunshine state. The law mirrors similar laws passed in other Republican led states where Pornhub has stopped doing business.
The dumbest thing about these laws is that all they accomplish is sabotaging American porn companies. Foreign companies have no reason to follow these laws and there’s no way to stop people from going to them instead.
Pornhub is Canadian
They have a footprint and servers in the US, which makes them subject to US law. If they shut that down, they could ignore this law, which is frankly more likely than them complying.
But will they pull out in time?

Boy, I can’t wait for Poilievre to follow suit like the fucking moron he is.
Buy VPN stonks.
Someone is going to make a mint when they create a VPN that gramps can figure out how to use.
Sadly it’s going to be some nefarious VPN that results in gramps getting their bank accounts drained.
Having lived within 100 miles of The Villages, I’m kind of OK with that.
yeah I pulled out of Florida too
Fantastic headline, Gizmodo!
It’s surprising that there’s anything left in Florida at this rate.
