      More like Github blocked Texas rather than complying with invasive state legislation.

      I support PornHub in standing up to privacy invasion. Let us wank or flick in peace.

        So these states that are imposing these measures and forcing porn sites like pornhub to pull out, are doing it “for the children”

        But the only porn sites that comply are the ones who are trying to legitimize themselves to protect people. Like porn hub lost over 1/3 of their catalogue over the verification of the actors in their content. To remove revenge porn and other abuse.

        That forces everyone to use the porn sites that do not care about exploitation nor the rules of these states. Pushing people tword crime like prohibition.

        And still nothing stops children from binging porn

          It has nothing to do with underage content. That’s against federal law. Do you have a source regarding PornHub’s lost content due to Texas legislation?

          The Texas law requires users to provide state-issued identification to access adult content. That requires adult websites to verify and retain user identity. PornHub responded to this legislation by blocking access from Texas, rather than complying with privacy-invading legislation.

            You misunderstand, the loss in content was a prior thing. It may have a different thing pushing that. My point being that porn hub is able to be accountable, or at least held accountable for their content. And they are pushed out of the market in these states, which leaves only the bad actors to make profit of the vacuum

            Teenagers still have unfettered access to porn, they have just been restricted from better curated and less exploitive porn.

              Gotcha. I was surprised to read that, since the Texas legislature was restricting access not content. It’s definitely already a federal crime.

              Let’s be honest, that law restricted older Texans the most. Teenagers know how to use VPNs. Lol
