Pornhub requires ID from Louisiana users to comply with state’s new porn law
- paxys 4y agoWin for VPN companies and porn sites based out of jurisdictions where they don't have to care about this law. Loss for regular Louisiana residents who don't want to live their life under the eye of a surveillance state.
- Forgeties79 4y agoIf I was handling marketing for Proton or someone I'd be busting down the door to whoever's office I need to approve a bigger spend and then triple my ad spend in Louisiana lol "Need protection, Louisiana? You need Proton. 50% off for your first year."
- ushtaritk421 4y agoThis is probably good. The same should be required on dating apps.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoI can see the utility in verifying the identity in a dating app. But why on earth does anyone need to know what porn someone watches with governmental IDs to track?
- Forgeties79 4y agoThe ridiculous thing is they're hiding behind "curbing sexual addiction" as a reason for this law. I mean it's absolutely absurd.
- paxys 4y agoSites themselves can easily add the requirement if they want to. There's zero reason for the government to be involved and enforce it.

- M3L0NM4N 4y agoI can't wait for Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, and Texas to follow suit.
- bediger4000 4y agoAnd Utah. Utah is very against porn.
- sli 4y agoUtah is the #1 state for porn consumption in the US. Utah loves porn, they only hate it on paper.
- ambrozk 4y agoThis is not the dunk you think it is. Consider: African Americans hate guns, and also murder more people with them, per capita, than almost anyone else. Does this strike you as contradictory in any way? If confronted with a black voter who said they wanted stricter gun laws, would your response be to sneer and say, "You only hate guns on paper"?
- ashwagary 4y agoYour claim makes no logical sense. The largest purveyor of violence is the white controlled US government. Per capita, the people committing the most murders are white. That murder is just committed with impunity, specially re-classified, and/or tax payers are forced to subsidize it.

- Forgeties79 4y agoThe GOP has had a super-majority off and on in Louisiana for decades, unfortunately. If you want to see what unfettered republican social legislative agendas look like, just look under our hood. Yes I know our governor is a Democrat but he's an old school blue dog who usually either agrees with the social legislation (see: our abortion laws) OR knows he can't overcome the legislature with a veto.
- mrlonglong 4y agoThere might come a day when the USA would have to split in two to appease both sides. And that's sad because that implies tolerance for differences has been lost.
- Forgeties79 4y agoMy point is there is basically only 1 side in Louisiana when it comes to governance, despite the fact that 1/3rd of the state is registered Democrat. The GOP doesn't need to have any "tolerance for differences" because liberals are all but unrepresented outside of New Orleans here.
- lrvick 4y agoYou must install a government mandated app on your cell phone, identify yourself to it with your real identity, and then give it information about your porn consumption habits. What can go wrong?
- hellfish 4y agoDamn... where else will I find quality nugget pron? Fuck you Louisiana gov
