Comment on New Arizona law to restrict online porn access; Pornhub will block state

Me visiting me in 1998:

“So, yeah, the United States has fallen to fascism, it’s all over but the shouting. Donald Trump is the President for the second time. Yes, that Donald Trump. Censorship is the rule of the day and the only major corporation to stand against it, taking a hit to their own profits, is the internet’s largest focal point for porn, a sort of hub for porn.”

“You are clearly demented. Get the fuck out of my house old man.”

“So I have to stop 9/11 AND assassinate Donald Trump? Geez, no pressure or anything!”

I wouldn’t really describe complying with a law as taking a stand against it. Pornhub blocks all US states which require ID verification.

  Which is ridiculous if you think about it. The whole point of a website is that the visitor goes to them. Unless their servers are located in a place that place should have no jurisdiction or authority over them whatsoever.

    Yeah, I their their proposed option of using standardized tags for content blockers for parents to use is much more sensible. But this law isn’t about protecting children, it’s about control and seeing what they can get away with. With the stir about transgender people being classified as nihilistic violent extremists the idea of seeing discussion of LGBT topics online as “obscene” and requiring submitting your ID to do is not far fetched.

  They are not complying with the law, if they were complying with the law they would be doing age verification and collecting everyone’s information in a masturbator base.

    They are not displaying content that requires age verification in those jurisdictions. That’s compliant.

    Exactly, they are not doing the age verification. What would you have them do?
