- ShowalkKama 7mo agohttps://www.pornhub.com/blog/age-verification-in-the-news https://www.pornhub.com/blog/age-verification-in-the-news Over the past year, Pornhub had to make the difficult decision to block access to users in the following American states due to Age Verification laws: Alabama Arizona Arkansas Florida Georgia Idaho Indiana Kansas Kentucky Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska North Carolina North Dakota Oklahoma South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Virginia Wyoming

- dawnerd 7mo agoI hate about full access to Reddit? Discord? Have you tried accessing the internet from a location with these laws in place?
- encrypted_bird 7mo agoOh shove off with this Puritan attitude. First off, you're implying most of PornHub is rape. That'a ridiculous; no one is uploading videos of actual rape to PornHub. Secondly, porn ≠ abuse. It's an actual industry and so obviously the treatment of women varies by company. Simply put, if you don't like porn, DON'T WATCH IT. Don't try to shove your personal beliefs on everyoje else.

- JasonADrury 7mo agoFor what it's worth, both the pieces are part of a smear campaign by an American far right Christian group called Exodus Cry. Among other things, Benjamin Nolot who runs Exodus Cry is a holocaust denier
- encrypted_bird 7mo agoI didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me. The hyperconservative scumbags (alas I repeat myself) will stoop to anything to shove their beliefs on everyone else.
- mrweasel 7mo agoThat feels weird to me as well. I get that they need to trial it, but United States, France, Germany and the United Kingdom isn't really the countries I'd priorities for a free VPN. I understand that a number of people in both the US and the UK is struggling right now and may not be able to affort a VPN, but their primary need is to avoid age restriction, while a large number countries are censoring the internet for political reasons. That latter seems more important to address.
- sunaookami 7mo agoA VPN is more relevant than ever in Europe.
- trekkie99 7mo agoOS age verification?
- mmooss 7mo ago> countries where users barely need it? Why don't they need it? There is widespread corporate and government surveillance in those countries. Privacy is a major issue. What is your standard?
