Pornhub is pulling out of Florida
Pornhub is pulling out of Florida
Starting January 1, Floridians can no longer legally come to Pornhub.

At the dawn of the new year, Pornhub will leave Florida. Thanks to a harsh new age verification law that takes effect on January 1, the porn giant will no longer do business in the sunshine state. The law mirrors similar laws passed in other Republican led states where Pornhub has stopped doing business.
Someone was waiting a long time to use that title I wager
That byline is the real gift
Starting January 1, Floridians can no longer legally come to Pornhub.
The longer the better
but not too long
Never stick your dick in crazy
OH realized and pulls out.
Never stick your dick in another, much larger dick
That made me think of the !vore@lemmy.ml community.
The dumbest thing about these laws is that all they accomplish is sabotaging American porn companies. Foreign companies have no reason to follow these laws and there's no way to stop people from going to them instead.
Pornhub is Canadian
They have a footprint and servers in the US, which makes them subject to US law. If they shut that down, they could ignore this law, which is frankly more likely than them complying.
But will they pull out in time?
I think they're struggling to stay hard, honeslty. Too many drinks and wondering wtf they're doing in Florida, anyway.
Time to finish her off out of common decency, pull out, and just leave.
Better get an std check after. Floridaâs crazy.
That's what the dumb ass voters in the state voted for. That's what they get.
These laws are next to impossible to repeal once in place. To my knowledge no state that has implemented age verification laws have repealed the law or has the law overturned on judicial review.
Buy VPN stonks.
Possibly hard drive stocks too. If somehow, some way VPNs are banned in these states, you still might be able to ship an encrypted hard drive full of porn to someone.
This might be a long game to reinvigorate flash and optical media sales.
VPNs and other traffic redirection are so widely used in business that I donât know how they could do that on a state by state basis.
For example, how is a sysadmin supposed to manage cloud machines without SSH, which can easily be used to circumvent content restrictions.

Boy, I can't wait for Poilievre to follow suit like the fucking moron he is.
Iâm not in favour of that law, but I could abide it if the age verification is done in a reasonable and secure way. Even the secure ways donât protect against a kid borrowing an unrestricted device.
I have no faith that will happen though. More likely what will happen is youâll have to send your id to the porn websites and theyâll send it to a third party company with nebulous privacy requirements and your porn browsing history will be available to anyone with money.
yeah I pulled out of Florida too
#MeToo
Someone is going to make a mint when they create a VPN that gramps can figure out how to use.
Sadly it's going to be some nefarious VPN that results in gramps getting their bank accounts drained.
Having lived within 100 miles of The Villages, I'm kind of OK with that.
It's surprising that there's anything left in Florida at this rate.
Fantastic headline, Gizmodo!
If you don't slip it in to Florida then you don't need to worry about pulling out.
