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.

Good point. This move by them may be to keep out of lawsuits.

Where did this BS legislation come from? This seems like some short sighted RINO crap. Eventually Democraps will just use this as a means to track people they don’t like and then “leak” it to the press or some website. Donated to Trump? Democraps: I see you visited pornhub 27 times this week.

Is that a fact?

So does that also apply to all the trannies, drag queens, and abortion laws? At least age verification for porn has public support.

“First its porn. Then its conservative websites. Then.......”

Christian sites...

They are already doing this in Ca for Firearm sites.

Once you open the door for these things you will be the target someday.

That’s what I was thinking a kid knows this, evidently the State Legislators don’t

Seems to me that Utah is trying to do the job that parents should be doing. I am against the nanny state whether trying to push conservative ideals that usurp my parental responsibilities or libtard ideals that try to groom children
and push them into the LQBTQ+ lifestyle.

There’s not much that can be done to verify identity remotely. A credit card won’t do it. ID with verification by video or whatever they do to verify performers in uploaded content maybe? However, users aren’t trying to be identified by these sites and reported to the government. They want their privacy.

Americans deserve some level of anonymity online, away from a busybody nanny state without fear of doxing, slander, public shaming, or being canceled, whether it’s for free speech or adult activities with themselves or others.

Some number of adventurous coming of age will seek access to adult things no matter what. It’s been that way even before the internet. This is better regulated and addressed by parents in the home than by the State. The website knows they cannot guarantee compliance so blocked the whole state to avoid the legal quicksand. I can’t blame them.

Pretty sure that Pornhub is a subscription site.

No it's free. So I've heard....

Cry me a river! Clearly the honor system isn’t working to enforce the law.

So what? There is porn all over the net. Sites in other countries are beyond the reach of Utah LEOs. Pointless virtue signaling.
