Pornhub is now blocked in Texas. Could Florida be next?
Pornhub is now blocked in Texas. Could Florida be next?
Florida Legislature recently approved a bill that requires age verification to access porn. Pornhub's parent company responded Friday.
weird how the state that claims ultimate patriotism and likes to talk about 'muh freedoms' and all those 'dont tread on me' flags spends so much of its purposefully, very limited legislature time taking away peoples rights.
'patriotic'
It's about their freedom to impair yours. That's religious conservatism 101
Luke 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
Tread all you want, Bible says so.
Freedom to raise their children without porn.
I don't like my children watching anything violent, so you can't watch action movies anymore
My aunt is allergic to peanuts, so you can't eat them anymore
My uncle is racist, so you can't be black anymore
Where does it end?
You vote for dipshits, you have to subscribe to a vpn service to whack off. It's the circle of life.
The initial pitch will require ID to access porn but then it'll branch out to any site that hosts NSFW content. Before you know it, every website you access will end up having your internet activities directly tied to you via your ID, and they can further use that data to train whatever models they got cookin up next.
Hmmm, I think I'll drop a $$ on VPN companies stock...
How long until VPNs are banned
I think banning vpns like several borderline dictatorships have is still a little far fetched. This would have a negative impact on companies who use them who are the ones that tell congress what to do. Although they could always make it so that large corporations can get certain exceptions and legally using a vpn is just a matter of how much money they fork over to the fcc for a license or something.
It's currently illegal to transmit encrypted data over most non-2.4Ghz radio frequencies unless you're a telecommunication company. No one even cares enough to get mad about this. I imagine they'd eventually reuse whatever playbook they used to accomplish this.
Good luck. This would be a tough one to enforce.
If people think porn is too "accessible", look up New York Time's Square in the 70s and early 80s. The whole town was practically porn central.
There will be a lot of sexually-frustrated violence happening in Yexas within the next week or two.
Too bad it'll probably only be against innocent people
I'm an engineer but I really want to be a world famous pornographer or pornstar.
Just do it!
I want to! But it just doesn't pay enough. I'm going to have to turn to directing high quality porn when I'm in my 60s. Probably remote work. Meanwhile I need to keep sharpening my directing skills by watching proper examples and analyzing them.
I only go to pornhub as a last resort, plenty of other better porn sites out there.
All porn is bad.
You're not looking at the right porn my friend.
The Bible is where I get my BDSM kicks.
All people who think porn is bad are bad. They are projecting their own unhealthy suppressed sexualities onto others because of the shame they associate with their own sexuality
Knowing Ron I could see it.
Buy VPN shares
Go for it Florida
If you are in Texas just use a VPN..
I can only assume hundreds of thousands of mostly young female actresses rely on pornhub for their income stream. And people think Republicans don't have a women problem.
You think these women look forward to coming into work?
Porn is unhealthy and parents have a tough time raising their children without early exposure.
The rest of us shouldn't have our freedoms restricted because of irresponsible parenting. You'd think people who place such a premium on personal responsibility wouldn't need the government to help them raise their kids.
Porn is normal and healthy and has been around since before humans had language.
Jerking off may make you as a parent feel uncomfortable but that does not make porn unhealthy.
It is common knowledge that porn is unhealthy.

One point that psychiatrists make about addictions like porn addiction is desensitization. The brain balances the feeling of pain and pleasure automatically, so when you have an abundance of pleasure over a period of time the brain will adjust itself accordingly. This leads to the addict having to pursue newer highs to feel the same pleasure as before. In the case of porn addiction, this could be newer kinks or more extreme scenarios. Many men have unfortunately suffered from erectile dysfunction and worsened relationships with real women due to porn use. This is an established problem.
It is more fulfilling and productive to direct one's sexual urges to a real person than a phantom. This keeps one's self more aligned with what's real and has good chances of establishing real and productive relationships between people. You cannot establish anything real with a phantom. You cannot have children with it, you cannot have sex with it, you cannot have mutual love with it.
There is much more to be said. All I request from you is to have some humility when approaching this issue.
Plenty of unhealthy things we don't age restrict. Although I look at porn more than I eat hamburgers nobody would stop me from eating one every day, and I'll be dead from eating hamburgers way before I die of porn.
