On one side, good riddance because porn is an extraordinarily exploitive industry and pornhub is at the forefront of that so fuck them and fuck the porn industry.
On the other side, fuck these states because sex work is real work and this will only further hurt and alienate an already extremely marginalized group of vulnerable people.
I don't know which side I feel stronger about. Hexbear struggle session; commence!

How do you say that as if it is so simple to scan the ID of every person who visits your website. First and foremost is that the US doesn't even have an actual citizen ID system. It has a patchwork of different government programs which are meant to be different things that it uses for ID. A driver's license is meant to say whether you can drive, it's not supposed to be an ID. Secondly, every state has a different driver's license design, which also doesn't make any sense. Why doesn't the US give people a national driver's license?
Thirdly how is a canadian company supposed to have the technology to scan american drivers license. In real life when you buy alcohol or cigarettes it kind of makes sense because the gas station attendant can like look the id and then the person and then shrug their shoulders. Do you want the website to also scan the face of every visitor to compare it to the ID? How can the website know that the ID is not counterfeit?
Porn websites do not have the technology to scan government IDs for every single visitor. Logistically it is not possible. What would be needed is a third party website operated by each state government that can scan each ID and then signal the verification back to the porn website through API. Each state knows this and they don't care because their intention is not actually requiring IDs to be scanned, it is to obstruct porn sites from existing. Also since each state is going to individually have to operate their own ID scanning service, that means each state will also be maintaining a gooner database.
In fact, Lousiana was the first state to require porn sites to ID every visitor. You will notice that Louisiana is not colored in red on the map of the OP. That's because Louisiana provided pornhub with the technology to scan IDs. The other states did not provide pornhub with the necessary ID scanning technology and thats why they got blocked. Louisiana is not blocked.

I feel like all this actually does is turn people to porn sites that don't care as much about following the law.
Which seems bad.

Yeah that's generally the argument against abolition of pretty much anything in a capitalist society. Abolition just means people turn to less safe / reliable / reputable sources for the thing being abolished. Without addressing the systemic issues behind why the thing being abolished is a problem, it just makes it work. This is true for sex work or drugs or basically anything, I think.

Marrying a child is a god given right, pinko scum. But if you think I’m gonna allow adult breasts being shoved in my face, you got another thing coming. Go back to Europe!

Lol, that is funny because it also describes a sexual act that happens frequently in pornography. What clever wordplay there old bean!
