Pornhub has shut off access in Mississippi and Virginia to protest age verification laws that can involve checking government IDs. It previously blocked access in Utah.

PH is trash but these laws are dumb as fuck and misguided. are we really pretending that you shouldn’t be horny until 18 or whatever
I came around the idea of stricter enforcement of age verification for online services. But the way it is implemented doesn’t make any sense. I wouldn’t trust porn sites with any personal information of mine.
I like the idea France is working on, a double anonymity age verification service. A third-party (hopefully the government) is used to verify your age and generate a token and that token can be used on any site to verify your age. The site verifying your age doesn’t know for which service you are generating the token and the site doesn’t have any access to personal data.
Whether or not pornographic material should be accessible to people under the age of 18 is another topic. I am not sure what a good age cut-off would be. But I definitely agree that there should be an age limit.
