Picture conservative white southern men who never got their GED trying to frantically Google what a VPN is, because they’re missing their interracial porn before the Klan meeting that night.
Interracial gay porn. FTFY
Probably with femboys too
Furry interracial minor femboy porn. We all know all of that is popular with conservatives.
I guess the South is going to have a harder time rising now.
Welp. back to working on them thar siblings and relatives then.
The party of small government
Remember when conservatives complained about the nanny state?
Always just an excuse to get rid of the things they don’t like, such as social security.
They absolutely want to regulate you on a federal level. They just want to decide which things get enforced/funded, and which should be left to the states/community/church, or what they really mean, nothing.
They want to control you on everything.
That’s not enough butter for that, that’s too much gay for this. They never wanted small government. They always wanted big government with the exact same ideals they have.
“You have too much pep in your step! 5 lashings for you!”
I’m sorry, pep is now regulated by gender and age. Oh, and if you’re young enough, please see the pastor or congressman in his office.
This is asinine, even when internet access to porn didn’t exist people had so much porn, and they’ll continue to get it. All this does is shift the business elsewhere.
It highlights that their elected officials are messing with something they like. It is also a lot safer for the business to block a geographic area than deal with PII.
If they operate in those states they need to obtain proof of age. I don’t exactly know how that works, since I haven’t had to do it, but I imagine it is something like uploading a driver’s license picture. If you have all that personal information you have to protect it, or risk information disclosure and lawsuits. A porn favorites list and personal identity info together in the same system is just asking to be hacked.

I’m really sorry that you have to live in Indiana.
Love, an Illinoisian.
I won’t for too much longer, thankfully. Or the U.S. at all.
Congrats, where are you headed?
Thanks. The UK. I’m lucky in that I have dual citizenship. I can’t go until I get a job, but I’m hopeful I’ll get one before the end of the month.
Thought you’d already skipped across the pond?
No, I can’t go without a job. I have to be making over £22,000 a year domestically to get a family visa for my wife and kid and I also don’t particularly want to have to rely on the meagre savings and what we’ll get from selling my car to survive on first. But I am very optimistic about getting one by the end of the month based on responses so far. I can hop on a plane and go tomorrow if I need to now that I have my passport. That was the big holdup before.
Bookmarked for future reference🙏
So people better understand: Pornhub did not get banned by law. There is a law that requires porn sites to verify age with IDs in many southern states. Instead of complying Pornhub location banned themselves.
You left the most important part out; why is PornHub not complying? Understanding the situation requires knowing the very real concerns about privacy and data security as compliance requires keeping copies of IDs on file for verification.
IOW: Pornhub refuses to attempt to secure the PII of everyone who wants to visit the site. It’s not within their scope and any website that agrees to do this bullshit is suspect as fuck.
giving a scan of your ID to the shadiest people on the web doesn’t seem a smart idea.
also: it’s not impossible for little jimmy to get a copy of his dad driving license…
I work for municipal government in Texas and I’m not allowed to write down or take a picture of someone’s DL number or date of birth, which is a bitch when we’re trying to cite a contractor named Jose Gonzales for illegal construction.
honestly that’s based as fuck. I wouldn’t think the largest porn website would have the ethics to lose out on that much money.
And yet when we pointed out that Project 2025 talked about banning porn, a lot of people didn’t think it was serious. This is just one way that such an idea can play out.
I don’t think porn could ever be fully banned - prohibition doesn’t work. (Besides, I already made a promise to create erotic art specifically in order to spite any such enacted law.) But considering how modern porn and its variety has enabled many people to acquire niche preferences, this is still going to trigger a challenging time for a lot of people.
Would you like to share any of your art?
Yis, share art.
I hope PH is putting a list with the names of the representatives who are responsible for this on the home page for those states. With phone numbers and mail addresses of the reps offices.
Literally 1984
One of the things that stuck out to me while reading in school was the sexual frustration part
The Red States are turning into the fucking PRC. Carry on…
PRC?
Porn of the Republic of China.
For every 1 porn site that has to comply with US regulations there are 100 that don’t and they won’t implement any IP blocks. Absurd that they really think this will have any effect.
it’s a foot in the door for online surveillance. has little to do with porn
But now they can legitimate all sort of bullshit measures to enforce that law. It will have an effect. Just not the one you expected.
So… wait. How will conservatives watch all their sister porn now?
Like any god fearing christian; by asking her first.
They would need to learn the meaning of consent first…
by peeping through the blinds.
Remove the word porn and you probably have the answer.
Guess its back to finding nudie mags in the woods like the old days.
When I was a kid I volunteered at the local recycling center. My hippie parents were so proud of my environmental consciousness lol.
Or finding suriving anime centric stores, one of my friends would get hentai at one since they didnt even question why a teenager was there so long as he bought something other than hentai. That is how he got into Bezerk.
How utterly bizarre.
Malicious intentions. They’re trying to normalize internet ID laws.
