In the US, Montana and North Carolina have been leading the list of states with the highest number of searches for "VPN" over the past few days. That's most likely because their new age verification laws have gone into effect on January 1, and adult websites are now either requiring a copy of visitors' government IDs or have blocked access in the regions altogether. As 404Media reports, Pornhub has chosen to block people in both states from accessing its website instead of asking for verification. The other websites owned by its parent company Aylo (formerly MindGeek), including Brazzers, Redtube and YouPorn, are also no longer accessible.
If anybody in Montana and North Carolina tries to access an Aylo website, they'll see a video message from performer Cherie DeVille, explaining that giving a copy of their ID to adult platforms puts their children and their privacy at risk. "We believe that the best and most effective solution for protecting children and adults alike is to identify users by their device and allow access to age-restricted materials and websites based on that identification," DeVille added.

It was a joke.
For goodness sake, you guys expect everything you read on the internet to be so freaking serious that you cannot see a joke.
On s serious note…does anyone expect this to impact these sites at all? If there is a kid out there wanting to see porn, the kid would simply use a VPN to bypass the rules. They are all using VPNs already.
Not only that…but there are literally millions of porn sites on the internet. No state law is going to stop a kid from looking at it.
Legislation like this is virtue signaling to stupid parents who do not monitor their children’s online activity.
You’re worried about sheep and goats ...
Monkeys are in danger of being spanked around here ...
Google image search, with "safe search" turned off, shows a moderately attractive young woman with ample breasts. Nothing you haven't seen before.
You're welcome. :-)
Nothing is confirmed on that.
It’s not virtue signaling, it’s by design. They (Feds) create the problem then they supply the solution by getting paid/controlled individuals to bring forth legislation.
The government has spent years on psychological research and has used it against people both foreign and domestic.
Be careful of VPN or any of these tech devices. The government has spent years on technology devices and it’s infrastructure. If they want someone, they will get them. Don’t put your trust in public tech because it’s been known to be compromised.
Have you seen his Mrs.? Some would argue that a goat would be a step up.
“There is a saying, “water always finds its path”.”
So, would you advocate legalizing murder, child prostitution, etc.? Anywhere we can make it more difficult for the perverts the better. Simply saying that people will find another route is not a logical answer and frankly isn’t accurate.
“Perverts think in terms of buggering sheep and goats as an alternative to masturbating over pixels on a computer screen.”
Is that what you tell yourself? Sick...
Yeah ... Vermont Lt’s comment is sick. I doubt he has the personal integrity to be ashamed of it.
The only sure way out of porn and porn addiction is Jesus. Find Jesus and repent, beg for forgiveness and live as Jesus asks us to live.
True
I never used one
They don’t require a credit card to sign up?
Some do some don’t. Like anything out in software world. Some are totally free, some are limited free credit card for the better version. There’s actually lots of legit reasons to be on a VPN, anonymity and all that.
“That’s all it took to stop porn? Wow.”
Well, you can still go to your local elementary school library and get your jollies there. Maybe the teacher will even give you a hand!
Since i don’t go to those sites, I am fine. And my kids are in their 30’s, so their kinks are their business.
Just a joke about a porn site gets you guys all worked up. Your life must be pretty boring if going after me on an Internet forum makes you think you are guarding the world from evil.
It’s almost fun.
Bernie IS a goat, an old one.
maybe so. i do remember a Viagra thread and there were some women distraught that their hubby would not be able to get a boner anymore.
Two down, 48 to go afaic.
I am a social conservative not a Libertarian. I believe in the use of community standards and law to keep porn from being made and sold.
It’s not an either/or situation.
We don’t to have production and sale of porn to keep sexual predators from doing harm. There is no evidence for that nor does it make any logical sense.
Some people always see the dark clouds and not the rainbow.
