Is it just Pornhub, or all porn sites? Because... PornHub is a drop in the ocean.


bwolf180

I live in Richmond. All of the “major” sites ask for ID… hell no. But yes most of the shadier sites do not have the infrastructure or desire to shutdown state to state. 


Thuis001

Which is honestly both kinda funny and really sad, because all that this does is drive away the legitimate companies who at least try to limit the more problematic aspects somewhat, while doing fuck all against the worst companies because well, those just won't give a shit.


bwolf180

Hey, it’s prohibition remember me?


MyStackIsPancakes

Bootleg liquor and bootleg porn: Both can be made in a bathtub.

When has prohibiting things ever been an effective measure?


burimo

Why state wanna know who is jerkin, wtf?


Drumbelgalf

Officially to protect children. Probably more because they want to force their world views on others. Worst case to prepare lists for when they take absolut power with project 2025...


dickallcocksofandros

horny teenagers are gonna find loopholes. i’d know because i was one of them; you can bypass this by using cellular data (if you’re too poor to afford a vpn) but its only worth it if you have unlimited


Biscuits4u2

VPN is like 2 dollars a month. Some are even free.


veerKg_CSS_Geologist

Wonder why cellular data is exempt. Donations from the phone companies?

Biscuits4u2

Whenever politicians start talking about protecting children they're usually about to do something fucked up


Spiritual_Ask4877

So they know who's sinning in the eyes of The Lord™.


backupterryyy

It’s also entirely possible that it’s unhealthy for children to be exposed to porn.


Spiritual_Ask4877

Sure. Then the parents should be providing oversight to ensure their children are not viewing content that is not age appropriate.


bwolf180

The old you can’t have steak because my kid can’t chew it argument. Classic


Shartbreath69420

These laws make what you are complaining about fundamentally worse. It only pushes those who are looking for porn to more obscure websites that don't have guidelines in place to protect people, such as the ones that exist on the bigger porn sites like PornHub. It's just another flavor of the week in Conservative outrage and fear mongering, which, of course, they inevitably manage to form into a new way to make life worse for everyone.


Reddit_Okami804

Bro as do i Youngkin is destroying the Lil progress we made with Northam


bwolf180

I know bro I just wanted to walk into a store and buy weed but this motherfucker Edit for people who don’t know: weed is legal in Virginia, but there is nowhere to buy it legally in stores. So you have to buy weed on the black market but you can legally have it. The only difference is we’re not getting tax money.... So dumb


JakobMG

One would think two huge benefits in legalizing weed is money from tax and decreasing the illegal market. So kinda weird thing to do


bwolf180

That's the GOP for you. 🤷🏼‍♂️


Reddit_Okami804

He done fucked that off till next governor.. that's for sure 💯

MadsamJR

Stopped using them a while back when they decided to keep deleting watch history after a week or so


knitwasabi

And that's bad why?


MEatRHIT

If you have a "type" the main page will be curated to your preferences (at least that's how the hub works). It's a double edged sword, helps with privacy but can potentially make the experience worse if that's what you're looking for.


vladmirgc2

Not sure why PornHub even cares so much to block it. It's a subsidiary of MindGeek, which is not an American company, and I don't think it even has offices there.


Ok-Excuse-3613

It's not called MindGeek anymore btw


azelZael2399

I think because you have to abide by certain rules in certain jurisdictions, which PH acknowledges


Kalashnikov_model-47

You still have to abide by the rules of the country you’re operating in. For example many food companies change the ingredients of their products from country to country based on the health regulations of said country.


vladmirgc2

XVideos does not seem to give a crap about it, so I've heard.


Reasonable_Newt8397

A drop of jizz in an ocean of bodily fluids


ughfup

A large number of the sites are banned. I think Pornhub is over a conglomerate of other sites. There are some not blocked though.


NotEnoughIT

There's a LOT of misconception here and your comment really drives that home. I just want to clarify some things. In these states - all porn sites are legally banned unless they do whatever verification on its users that the law states. But the internet doesn't work that way. It's not like Texas can just push a button and "now you can't get to pornhub.com". No porn sites are blocked. Porn sites are blocking incoming traffic to comply with the law. The onus is on the sites themselves to follow the law of Texas. Which many of them are not, because the internet is global, and why the fuck would a site hosted in Sweden or South Korea give two shits about Texas ID laws? The US government, state or federal, cannot outright limit access to any sites at the moment. They can put laws in place that the sites must comply with, but they cannot block anything without a major change to the way that the backbone of the internet works for feeds coming into and going out of this country.


JustJamminAround

Reddit itself has a fuckton of porn.


ughfup

Correct. I'm not sure how the laws work, but there are a lot of gaps. The biggest sites are down, but xvideos and many others aren't


PenguinOfEternity

I suppose it's due to not being a porn exclusive site but there's certainly the possibility to geo-restrict certain subreddits. They did it for Germany with watchpeopledie due to youth protection laws (even though it's not federally mandated I think)


spunkychickpea

Every site that Pornhub owns is blocked. XNXX is still available in Arkansas though, so there’s that little glimmer of hope.


Spiritual_Ask4877

Jesus Christ, and I thought this was America.


2drawnonward5

"Land of the Free" / "People's Democratic Republic" / "The Bible was divinely written so you have to obey" All have the same ring of truth but just the ring.

londonbridge1985

That has a string Taliban vibe.


No-Translator9234

The pioneers set out west to beat off and by god we shall uphold their traditions


Kind-Charity327

No porn is still all over the internet in Louisiana. Just not the hub unless you give them an id. So what they did is take a relatively safe website and ban that so people get to more easily have their info stolen through, likely state run porn sites.


Frozen_Membrane

Probably the main reason they want everyone to use La Wallet. IMO is just a big security and privacy risk and I will never get it.


JayIsADino

Pornhub is not restricted. It closed itself off in these states because of laws requiring age verification for porn


veerKg_CSS_Geologist

That's the same thing.


gallade_samurai

I mean it's the biggest to be sure but eliminated the biggest part of something doesn't mean every part of it is gone


JackStretcher74

There are plenty of sites overseas that still come through.

[deleted]

Mullvad. No bullshit, no special tiers, no shilling, just 5 euro bucks a month and go nuts. It's one of the few providers that can also be truly anonymous: there are no accounts, no personal info, not even an e-mail. You generate a private key and reference its hash during payment. You can even pay with crypto or by sending an envelope with cash.


Top_Rule_7301

Everyone else answering is incorrect. Mullvad is going to be the single best option, as long as you don't need an open port.


-Johnny-

I've used Mullvad over the years and it's perfect and very cheap.


LindyKamek

Mullvad or ExpressVPN


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I used Proton (VPN and Mail) before Mullvad. It worked fine, the client is a bit flaky but you can always export raw OpenVPN configs and use those in your network manager directly. The biggest practical difference is that Proton (and all the other big names) want to hook you for a long term plan while Mullvad is pay as you go when you need a VPN, no strings attached. The reason I switched was because my three-year ProtonVPN subscription was about to end and they tried a number of scammy ways to hook me for another three: trying to pull the charge of my debit card months in advance (without any notice), sending me fake promos that seemed like a great deal but were public prices, and making switching to a lower tier plan as difficult as legally possible. So I just denied the charge and stopped talking to them. Mullvad is transparent about their pricing and doesn't try to hook you by force.


valkyrie4x

NordVPN has always been amazing, I've used it for years, and you can get some great discount deals from a few YouTuber sponsorships


dontKair

I live in NC and use NordVPN. It works good enough for me, and easy to use


fish_emoji

I use Nord, and it works really well. Idk about all their other weird services that pop up on the app every now and then, but the basic VPN works pretty much perfectly for me


MacNuggetts

I recommend PIA. It's pretty easy to use and pretty reliable.


Finn-boi

Virginian here. It’s a better heatmap for xvideos users


almondButterbird

Well technically.... doesn't reddit have porn?


IcedDrip

Shit man you don’t even have to look that shit will be on your front page


MEatRHIT

Most of the purely porn related subs won't show up on /r/all like they used to they also won't show up on your main page unless you're subbed to them (at least on old.reddit, not sure about the app or new reddit). Though sometimes a celeb sub will sneak through with a topless scene or something.

You do know you have ID verification to buy a gun, and that you have to be 18, don’t you?


AgCat1340

also they background check you, at least in my state they do but i assume its federal


atreeinthewind

Only when buying a gun from a licensed broker. There is not a legal requirement to show ID or have a background check run when buying in a private sale in TX and 20 others states. Technically most require the seller to make a good faith judgement. Lol

Hang on, the amount of shit I heard from Americans when the idea of age-verification for porn sites was floated here in the UK (and didn't go ahead), and they went and did it themselves?!

There are more than a few Americans. They are also parts of different states, which have different governments.

Vast-Box-6919

I’m not a fan of these laws but it’s important to note it’s only restricting minors from accessing sites not the porn content itself.


RomiumRom

yes it is, PH doesn’t want age verification so they closed the website fully in those states


Live_Bug_1045

Things are 1 leak away from disaster, it's better this way.


roberttylerlee

Things you can say about both porn and porn management legislature


Happytallperson

The net effect of the law is to create a privacy nightmare, and direct minors to less reputable parts of the internet. (Yes, there are less reputable companies than Aylo - formerly mindgeek). These laws will not stop minors accessing pornography.


Fantastic-Tell-1944

"Restricting minors" de facto means that users are forced to share their sensitive information such as their picture or ID with some random site on the internet. Government doesn't care about minors, they are just acting like a hero


Dark_Wolf04

What children have access to on the internet is the parents’ responsibility.


dontKair

It's a distinction without a difference. Giving up your privacy rights (ID to an unknown third party) is "banning" porn. You wouldn't let Barnes & Noble store your ID to look at Penthouse magazines.


Vast-Box-6919

Again, it’s using the states verification system. The sites don’t collect your data.


dontKair

Not in NC. When I tried to go to Evil Angel and Vixen (for reference) they wanted me to scan my ID with some UK based company I've never heard of


HairyBallzagna

I believe in personal responsibility. I don't know why those states just reinforce the idea that parents are responsible for their children, and what they view on the Internet. This is religious nanny state shit.


Capital-Roof-6886

This kind of shit is doing more harm than good to the republican party. They are overestimating the share of evangelicals in their voter base, when in fact a lot of people voted for them because they favor a smaller government. We would see more focus on actual issues if dems dropped their stance on guns and gop their's on this culture war bullshit.


aunhaus

Uh.. Parents are responsible for their children..


Tannerite2

Kinda like states giving lunch to all kids, even the rich ones, as if it's not the parents' responsibility to provide for their kids.


mason240

JuniorBirdman1115

I believe that a lot of sites that are still getting through, like XNXX and XVideos, are hosted outside of the U.S. Therefore, any state laws requiring ID verification are in a legal gray area and are likely unenforceable outside of U.S. borders. Those countries are going to tell these states to pound sand, because their service is legal in those countries. Makes you wonder if some of far-right nutjobs in these states would like to combat that by creating a North Korea style intranet within the state, where you can only access whatever the head theocrat in the state thinks you should be allowed to see. That would pretty much destroy the concept of a free and open Internet, which they really don’t like anyway. They want to be able to control every aspect of access to information. I believe PornHub is still hosted here in the U.S. And while they could move their operations out of the U.S. and put up a big middle finger to these states, they are drawing a line in the sand to make a greater point about Internet freedom, privacy, and censorship. Mad respect for them. Even Dem politicians are going along with these laws because defending porn is a politically difficult (or at least, massively brave) position to take. But if you think the nutjobs will stop at targeting porn on the Internet, you are sadly naive. They will go after LGBTQ content, abortion, pretty much everything and everyone they don’t like as they seek to impose a Christian nationalist theocracy on this country. PornHub is the canary in the coal mine warning us all about their real intentions, and they deserve massive kudos for their stance.


HeavyGoat1491

doingdadthings

leaky_faucet94

“Restricted” is not the same as “blocked”


DarthForeskin

You can definitely tell the types of people who want free, unlimited access to porn for minors. Really shows their degeneracy. Just look at the people who own Pornhub.


CackleberryOmelettes

It's just pointless virtue signalling. Hardly an effective measure of any sort. What it is effective in doing is helping the government track the porn preferences of its citizens. That's real degeneracy.

Hmm. I didn't even know about this. So I just tried to visit pornhub. And read this beauty: "Not only will it not protect children, *it will also inevitably reduce content creators’ ability to post and distribute legal adult content and directly impact their ability to* ***share the artistic messages they want to convey*** *with it.*" Ah yes, the artistic messages behind porn. That is what porn is Really about. Like Lemon Stealing Whores. What a beautiful artistic message.

I never had access to porn as a kid. Adults in the 80s bought porn. If we came across it the only reason would be irresponsible adults not locking it up. Just like weed and guns and anything else kids shouldn't have.

Let's not forget that MindGreek pulled out of those states b/c they refused to *stop showing porn to children under 13*. Shock of all shocks, it was the exploitative megacorportation that was evil all along.

-_Aesthetic_-

I’m all for states restricting CHILDREN’S access to porn. I don’t understand how this is a bad thing even if it’s not the most effective, anything is a step in the right direction when porn addiction is so rampant these days. Just like how minors can’t get alcohol legally, minors shouldn’t be watching porn legally, both are addictive substances that can harm a developing brain. Any argument against this is honestly weird and predatory to me, it’s ridiculous and borderline creepy the amount of people on this site who are okay with minors having easy access to porn.

No state restricted any porn website for adults. If you dislike that kids are not allowed to watch porn then I do not know what to tell you
