Pornhub blocks Montana and North Carolina as their age verification laws take effect
yahoo ^ | 01/03/2024

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.

I’d rather have some freako sitting in his basement looking at that crap than prowling around looking in windows and worse. Putting it on a private computer screen is far preferable to those seedy, smelly bookstores that attracted undesirables to the edge of neighborhoods in the old days.

But the right censors just like the left does, then they complain when there’s nothing but gay and TG stuff on the rampage. I’m not sure I ever had a discussion with my girls about it, because girls usually aren’t particularly visually interested, but I have with my sons and grandsons, and it’s always better to give them a choice rather than have them seek out this stuff in rebellion.

But to use a VPN you have to pay for the service with a credit card.

Kids don’t have credit cards.

Hopefully a kid won’t be able to convince their parent to pay for a VPN without an explanation of why they need one.

My God....are you so incapable of humor that you must turn everything into an attack.

Go out and get a life. Being so sour will cut years off. Which...at this point doesn’t seem like a bad deal.

Good news for Montana and North Carolina! Porn is a scourge. It’s at the heart of why the US is in freefall collapse.

I find your post highly ironic.

I took your original post with a sense of humor and retorted with humor.

You are the one making personal statement about peoples lives being sour and ending early. Perhaps you should take your own advice.

Perverts think in terms of buggering sheep and goats as an alternative to masturbating over pixels on a computer screen.

Personal attacks are not supposed to me made here. Yours was a case of bullying based on a screen name. Except, I am not from Vermont.

Nice try. Go to church and ask forgiveness for being a jerk.

Why? Because child porn is no longer available? You know that site has been known for using trafficked children, right?

just men? I read an article yesterday that stated young males bring in more money when they’re used as actors in advertising on porn sites. The most active watchers were women....seems like the girls love the 15yo guys and are more prone to clicking on the ads

More like improve the VPN business. With a good VPN you can be “from” anywhere.

The FBI and other agencies pushed porn to break down society. Is it any wonder why there are so many trans and LGTBQ groups in the schools… all of this is part of their agenda, well known if anyone takes the time to look into it. And the degenerate wankers in society defend this crap but complained the country is going to hell.

Go back to the Germany before WWII. They looked just like America today.
