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.

World is exclusively for non-US centric news. You’re looking for “News” or “Business”.
This is just a blatant power grab. It’s not about porn, after all if they were really concerned about nsfw sites they’d be happy with how easy the site is to regulate. If they wanted to they could potentially find a way to bring in tax revenue with it.
This is all about control and getting people used to having the government invading their privacy. Over time they’ll shift and start invading other online spaces.
Reminder that verification laws do not work and are straight up fascist.
They shouldn’t of pulled out, they should of impregnated Florida. Their body, my choice right?
What you are hearing people say is “should’ve”, a shortening of “should have”. “Should of” is never correct.
Thanks lol
This is a fucking travesty for those like AdmiralPatrick, this digital cum-stain, the epitome of autism wrapped in a fat suit, with more alt accounts than he has brain cells, spewing pronouns like “xe/xyr” because he’s such a lonely, pathetic piece of garbage that his only intimate relationship is with his keyboard. His body is a testament to how much time he spends jerking off to his own self-righteousness, a living monument to human waste and failure. He’s so socially incompetent that his only friends are his own made-up personalities online, a true retard in every sense.
JordanLund, this bloated fuckwit, with his heart disease, is literally a ticking time bomb of cholesterol and stupidity, using “they/them” to distract from the fact he’s a lonely piece of garbage whose only intimate relationship is with his own hand. His body is an advertisement for why some people should never reproduce, a true waste of sperm and space. He’s so devoid of substance that his existence is like a black hole, sucking in all light and joy, his heart condition just another excuse for his pathetic life.
Not_rick, seems he’s got the intelligence of a fucking genius, but in reality, he’s just a cocksucker who’s smart enough to know how to manipulate but too dumb to realize how pathetic it makes him. His pronouns are a pathetic attempt to wash away the filth of his existence, but all they do is highlight his hypocrisy. His life is a gallery of horrors, a parade of moral decay, where every step he takes leaves a trail of slime, a true embodiment of human excrement, a parasite on society.
FlyingSquid, this fucking degenerate, the worst father in history, gets scammed by Domino’s Pizza more times than he’s probably seen his own daughter. He doesn’t just rape his daughter; he does it with homeless retards, turning his family into a circus of depravity. He parades around with his “they/them” bullshit while his soul is as black as the void of space, a fucking abomination that should be purged from existence. He’s a stain on humanity, a walking horror show whose every action screams of moral decay.
And the creator of the MBFC bot, just a fucking kid who learned how to use basic ChatGPT, thinking he’s some kind of tech wizard. His existence is as relevant as a fart in a hurricane, clinging to pronouns in a vain attempt to be noticed in the vast, indifferent void of the internet. His life’s work is a digital nothing, a testament to his utter lack of impact or relevance, a true waste of oxygen, a mockery of human endeavor. He’s the epitome of someone who thinks they’re making a difference while contributing nothing of value to the world.
For these worthless, disgusting excuses for human beings, sending a signal message to Dominique was their only shot at ever touching a real woman. .
“sources?”
“Delusion”
“Got it”
What the actual fuck
The milf and step sister markets are about to take a hit
It’s probably a good thing not to put your dick in anything from Florida.
The old rule of don’t put your dick in crazy
Usually comes from guys who have abused their exes and want to paint their exes as the crazy person.
True, but also crazy women do exist and can be a nightmare to live with.
True, additionally guys have holes too.
Just saying…
Very true.
Big if true
Speak for yourself
There’s crazy guys, too… (Sorry if that was your point)
True, but the saying isn’t ‘don’t fuck crazy’, and was originally used entirely as ‘(men) don’t stick your dick in crazy (women.)’
How does that change anything they said?
Don’t generalize.
Or from guys who have dated crazy in the past, and now know to avoid it…
Headline is 10/10.
I mean, it kind of writes itself, but yeah. Sometimes the easy ones are, in fact, the best ones.
First time I heard it as a joke was from George Carlin discussing how wars are inherently phallocentric.
As it repeatedly promised, the GOP is fighting pornography. In many states, it’s winning.
Fucking gizmodo. Is they winning? Is they ain’t?
A collective gets a singular noun.
“The GOP” can be used synonymously with both “The Republican Party” and “Republican lawmakers.” One of those is singular, the other is plural.
The grand old party is a single noun
OK. Gizmodo is still shit.
Make a post with a better source
Pornhub should come out with their own vpn service as a fuck you to the gop. Because while they may not “service” certain states, I’d bet those citizens still use pornhub and other sites.
They sort of did awhile ago with VPN hub. I haven’t heard about it in awhile though. I wonder if they’re trying to distance themselves from it
It’s good to be a VPN service these days. I bet business is up.
If they did that themselves, then they would know when a user was trying to access their porn from Florida, defeating the benefit a vpn would provide.
Don’t want them to ban vpns
Just curious, but how would that be enforced?
I honestly don’t know enough about it but I’m sure there’s a way, maybe get isp’s to flag traffic going to known vpn servers and fine them if they connect users or something like that?
Why, is it impossible or difficult to enforce?
Why, is it impossible or difficult to enforce?
Not sure, that’s why I asked out of curiosity. But I would assume so; it’s very easy to get WireGuard setup on a Raspberry PI or just about any SBC. For example, you could setup a SBC with a usb WiFi adapter, travel to a state where VPNs aren’t banned, connect to public WiFi and with a little additional config (changing ports), you’re good to go.
You could ban them from mainstream marketplaces. If you remove them from the apple store and play store, they’re gonna struggle, even if you still have F-Droid. If they ban hosting source code, maybe some federated git servers and maybe even gitlab will hold strong, but github will roll over like an obedient dog because it’s owned by Micro$oft. Some people will fight for it, but if VPNs lose 75% of their revenue, we will all suffer.
Banning VPN apps from any marketplace would literally shut down the economy. VPNs are for more than accessing porn.
They can probably include it with PH Premium.
Good.
So crazy how floridians are able to get legislation like this passed, but can’t do anything to help their legions of hicks living in trailer parks.
The legions of hicks love this kind of virtue signaling oppression and don’t mind that they’re stuck in a trailer park. Priorities.
Those legions of hicks see living in a trailer as a badge of honor when it comes to Republican policy even if it harms them. Contradictory to this, they also view it as the fault of Democrats, taxes, and regulations on businesses for why they’re in that situation. It’s pure cognitive dissonance but good luck convincing them of that.
They generally believe Democrats in office are bad for the economy, but they’ll be damned if they take government handouts and make the deficit worse.
Neither are very true, but they win elections.
It doesn’t even manage to block access to porn. For god’s sakes you’d have to block the entire Internet.
I probably shouldn’t say that or they’ll get ideas. It’s all performative.
Well many 10 year olds dont know how to find and use a vpn.
Younger me did not care about VPNs (which weren’t really a thing at the time), but I did care about finding porn. Most had some form of Adult Check or similar.
It did not stop me from finding porn elsewhere.
But it’s literally the penis-shaped state!
The penis is flaccid.
If its over 600 km flacid, Im afraid what it’s like hard!
On my tits…whaaaat?

If I found myself in Florida, I’d pull out before I finish too.
