Pornhub Blocks All of Utah From Its Site
Vice ^ | Samantha Cole

Posted on 05/02/2023 7:58:09 AM PDT by BlackAdderess

In response to a new law that requires porn sites to verify users’ ages, Pornhub has completely disabled its websites for people located in Utah.

As of today, anyone accessing Pornhub from a Utah-based IP address doesn’t see the Pornhub homepage, but instead is met with a video of Cherie DeVille, adult performer and member of the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee, explaining that they won’t be able to visit the site.

Verifying ages for viewing porn is totally legit and a good step toward ending cultural destruction. I hope they continue the hissy fit in the other states passing similar legislation.

How would any porn site verify a person’s age? Video interview with ID? Any 12 year old and check a box that affirms “I am 18 years old or older.”

All this will do is stimulate countermeasures.

You want to discourage behavior? The last thing you should do is try to ban or block it. Common sense.

Evidently they are requiring real verification, possibly through a third party, instead of relying on the honor system.

I thought the same thing, but then I figured that they want a credit card and the billing address for the card.

Pretty sure that Pornhub is a subscription site.

Did they partner up with a few VPN’s. I can’t imagine this would stop anyone determined to get their porn fix.
