    Has anyone ever come out on top in a confrontation with the porn industry?

      With the porn industry, even if you’re on top you’re still getting fucked.

      Only banking companies who handle monetary transactions with the sites can exert power. E.g they were the ones who basically required users on PH to be verified to post videos because of issues of traffiking and illegal videos being uploaded.

      From the article

      At least five other states have enacted similar age-verification laws aimed at blocking access to pornography sites: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Utah and Virginia. Pornhub, for one, after complying with the Louisiana law, subsequently opted to block access to users the other four states.

      So only one of 6 have been overturned. And the others have existed longer.

        In fairness there was no confrontation in those states. Texas likely got the bonk because of requiring the disclaimer being a bridge too far, but the ruling explicitly blocks the age verification portion as well so it could be used as precedent against the other states now.

      There are no other tops when it comes to pissing off the BigPorn. Everyone’s BigPorn’s bottom, and they don’t have lube in the budget.
