And more states may be on the list soon.

Pornhub has shut off access in Mississippi and Virginia to protest age verification laws that can involve checking government IDs. It previously blocked access in Utah.

why is this getting so much traction in the media? there’s so many other, arguably better resources for pornography on the interwebs

I think it’s just highlighting that state governments are making crazy laws like this, and PH is one of the big dogs everyone knows

It’s important to ensure coverage of state control. These “moral” issues being delt with via legislative means is abhorrent. Land of the free, eh?

I couldn’t disagree more. Pornhub is the best porn website we have right now by far. They consistently do a great job of moderating to remove underage porn and revenge porn while also all monetizing for the creators. I don’t think a lot of people realize how good we have it worth pornhub

There have been multiple cases of underage girls on PH and SA videos that PH wouldn’t remove when requested by the victim, even a verified account was a trafficked 15 year old. PH is another big corporation that doesn’t give a fuck about people don’t let them fool you

All of that is true and yet it’s still the best we have. It says more about how bad the rest of the websites are. The alternatives are awful or will cost money.

Yea, so many better sites.

We should list them here so everyone can avoid them though.

Sorry mate. If your state blocks porn in this way you need to move or vote for better representation.
