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.
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
Update your facts. Pornhub cleaned up and did a great purge of questionable content. If they couldn’t verify it then it went. Anything questionable got flagged and deleted.
Now that Pornhub is blocked, well, people looking for porn will find MORE questionable content.
If you want better safer porn then YOU SHOULD BE SUPPORTING PORNHUB.
Call me crazy but I’m not very quick to forgive or trust again a platform that allowed sexual assault videos of a teenage girl to remain publicly posted.
I don’t think pornhub is the epitome of ethical porn either. But on that note if people care about the ethics of their consumption I think they should consider decreasing their porn usage in general, it’s a pretty obvious net negative for personal health and societal health
Valid points. Not trusting pornhub after it taking so long to clean up it’s content might be the better choice overall. Especially if ethics in porn is a top priority. I do think consuming too much porn is a problem for some people and it could start to warp perception if the consumer can’t separate reality and fantasy.
I think most people don’t care about ethics in porn, so I try to rep any small push toward good. It’s not perfect but “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good” and all.
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

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.

Wankers… (the lawmakers, not PH)
technically …
PH is trash but these laws are dumb as fuck and misguided. are we really pretending that you shouldn’t be horny until 18 or whatever
Does this have any real effect on porn access legislation, though?
Kinda weird that it’s just Pornhub: Aren’t they owned by the same parent company of like pretty much all the other streaming porn sites?
Leopards ate my bate for those states. They are reaping what they have sowed.

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

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
