The fact that this website simply refuses to do any kind of age verification says a lot about their leadership and possibly their motives...

I mean I don't want to be responsible for keeping a bunch of people's photo IDs secure either. What does that say about my leadership and motives?

  And what point is there to even give a website photo ID? How will they validate your face? They have no need for the photo.

    It would be trivial to create a fake photo id site to generate files to upload.

Yeah, it says a lot of good. You can't do it without turning your site into a panoptical dystopia where even more of your personal data ends up with the NSA, third party data brokers, or hackers on the darknet. None of that's worth people's silly moralism to me.

The thing is, age verification that consists of more than a simple button of "yes I'm over 18" is privacy intrusive. Who wants to register as a porn viewer? Especially in the US where this is stigmatised.

  It's stigmatized for good reason. The amount of abuse within the pornography industry is immense. Anyone with any decent of ethics would refrain from consuming this material.

    >>Anyone with any decent of ethics would refrain from consuming this material. What, like....all porn? There are plenty of amateur couples who upload incredibly tender, loving and respectful videos of their love life to PH. Why are you bundling everything together with the exploitative stuff?

      Just looking at the front page of Pornhub right now: "Stepmother and son share a bed in a hotel" "Fake taxi Bengali nurse takes a big cock in her tight Asian pussy" "Petite blonde whore opening her ass for me to demolish" You want children watching this?

        Every one of your responses fails to actually engage with the comment you're responding to. You're directly missing the point here. You should not create alts just to engage in low-effort argumentation.

        No but I as a parent have the responsibility to monitor and decide what my children see and don't not the state. freedom of expression is a guaranteed right and onerous laws like this are just a end-run around anti-censorship laws just as much as the think of the children claim is a end-run around rational thought.
