Viewing Pornhub while in Louisiana now requires providing a driver's license to verify your age.

By Samantha Cole
A new law makes porn sites liable for content deemed “harmful to minors” if it doesn’t install age verification technology for anyone accessing them in Louisiana—and it’s already affecting how people in the state access Pornhub.
The law, which was signed by Louisiana’s Democratic governor John Bel Edwards in June, became effective on January 1, 2023.
The law, passed as Act 440, states:
“Any commercial entity that knowingly and intentionally publishes or distributes material harmful to minors on the internet from a website that contains a substantial portion of such material shall be held liable if the entity fails to perform reasonable age verification methods to verify the age of individuals attempting to access the material.”
A “substantial portion” is 33.3 percent or more material on a site that’s “harmful to minors.”

I’m surprised this wasn’t already a law.

We're learning a lot about the OTs porn watching habits as the reposts steam in.

Damn. Louisiana getting back to its racist roots.

Another way for government to track you..

Who needs porn when you have Jesus?

Pornhub is the Pepsi of pornsites. People prefer Coke.

You can still watch on your phone I bet.

I didn't bother to read the full legislation but I didn't see this pop up in the original thread and it piqued my interest:
So if a site wants to test the boundaries I have a thought.
I don't know if they consider percentage of material by total length or title numbers but you could cover both if you liked.
Let's say you have 1000 hours of porn in 2000 titles. What happens if you upload 6001 titles with a total run time of 3001 hours all with nothing but white, pink, and brown noise videos? This is actually "useful" content (use the view numbers from Youtube to support that) and I doubt you can find any studies that say they are harmful to minors. You haven't broken the 33.3% barrier... It would be relatively cheap to store all this content and it would likely have very little increase on your bandwidth needs. Checkmate?

That part of the law was written specifically by the lobbyists from Netflix, HBOMax, Paramount Plus, and Disney Plus to exclude them from the age verification rule.
HBOMax does host some Skinemax titles.

I understand the policy reasoning but I still think my hypo is a workable loophole, again not having read the full legislation.

I’m honestly surprised it took this long. And really, it’s a good thing. It’s entirely too easy for kids to find porn on the internet.
You have to use your ID to verify your age in real life.. why should it be any different online?

Because you have to give personal information to a shady porn website, that’s why. Recall the Ashley Madison leaks?
Kids who grew up in the late ‘90s and ‘00s did just fine looking up porn on their gaming PC’s
