    It’s the same in South Carolina, although it’s only PornHub as far as I can tell. A bunch of conservative politicians want to either ban it outright or make people upload their ID to view the site so the site is basically shut down in those states until they figure out how to make it work somehow. Apparently boomer politicians think PornHub is the only place anyone views porn

      Pornhub is the only one that I know of that is doing the blocks by state. They are a big enough target that the laws could cause them a lot of trouble, and they’ve said they aren’t interested in checking IDs.

      The sum total of the laws is that people will either get their porn on sites that don’t care about the various state laws and/or they will learn about using VPNs to get around blocks.

        they’ve said they aren’t interested in checking IDs.

        Not only checking them, but then they are responsible to safely store that info.

          Not necessarily if you’re using an ID verification service from a 3rd party. PH could implement this relatively easily, but I’m glad they’re not.

      Wow this is actually happening? The country really seems more and more all the time like we are going to end up two separate nations. The U.S.A. and Gilead.

      Also, yeah, these fossils have less than no tech knowledge to think anything can get in the way of porn when someone wants it. What a fucking joke. These are our political representatives hard at work. Probably actually HARD at work. The dumbest sampling of humanity.
