Score one for Pornhub: A federal judge ruled Thursday that a Texas law requiring pornography sites to institute age-verification measures — and add prominent warning labels about the alleged …
Court Rules in Pornhub’s Favor in Finding Texas Age-Verification Law Violates First Amendment::A Texas law requiring age-verification measures for porn sites, challenged by Pornhub and others, violates the First Amendment, a judge ruled.
Do you want porn, or do you want to create more closet pedophiles like half the Catholic clergy?
You can either tolerate human nature, which includes sexuality, sorry, or you can suppress it and break people to their cores, causing harm to them and eventually others including children.
Why is it, when we try to suppress parts of our nature through law, it’s always lust and never the far more destructive greed? Lust can be positive and celebratory, greed has no redeeming qualities.
That’s the annoying part. I would suggest an alternative: everyone who voted for this law is opt-in to a private market version (some kind of registry) that is legal and they will be monitored for compliance. Kind of like that CovenantKeeper thing Wired reported on.
Only banking companies who handle monetary transactions with the sites can exert power. E.g they were the ones who basically required users on PH to be verified to post videos because of issues of traffiking and illegal videos being uploaded.
As shit as this law was to ever be put to pen and paper (figuratively), silver lining is it getting struck down sets a great precedence that’ll help the fight in other States that have passed similar laws.

This is good news for all those GOP politicians frequenting these sites who also don’t want their identities leaked.

And we all know how that would end JoshDugger
Good it was some serious y’all qaeda bullshit
Is this just the Texas variant, or every one?
Got hit with this stupid thing in Montana this week. I had no idea the assholes in Helena had passed such a thing here.
Has anyone ever come out on top in a confrontation with the porn industry?
The lawyers.
With the porn industry, even if you’re on top you’re still getting fucked.

There are no other tops when it comes to pissing off the BigPorn. Everyone’s BigPorn’s bottom, and they don’t have lube in the budget.
I live in Texas. Is it my patriotic duty to go rub one out now?
I don’t know how old you are, nor should I, so I can’t do anything to stop you.
I wonder if the judge had to retire to chambers to “deliberate” or if it was summary judgement, lol. Just asking questions.
