Pornhub goes dark in TX

the whole thing is basically PornHub getting mad that they have to ask for ID. Same as LA
I'm not arguing the merits of porn being good or bad (I think it's bad,) but they're upset that they have to verify that kids are 18+ to look at free pornography. If you're getting some thing free, then you're the product.
Did you LA people see the same thing after your legislation?

I saw this in AR while I was trying to jerk off in my mom's spare bedroom.

I would be willing to bet a lot of kids already know how to use a VPN to get around that.

I would tell them to go hook up on Craigslist, but hell, they can't even do that anymore!

Yeah, you just have to go to one of the other 50,000 porn sites not targeted by the state.

Unexpectedly, there has been an explosion of guys talking to girls, going on dates, and a baby boom.

You don’t even need that. Just get off your wifi and use the cellular network.

Good. It's poison.

absolutely. i work in blocking porn (ironically,) but won't pretend i didn't go and try and sneak looks back in the day in a bookstore. but there was a safeguard in place to make sure i didn't walk up to the counter and buy it.
kids are always going to find a way around it. that's unavoidable.

Analog legislators don’t know how to legislate in the digital age.

I get their argument that other sites are not being required to do the same, but this is like saying that we should legalize drugs so people don’t buy it off the streets. You are basically asking them to allow everything instead of restricting anything

Sometimes when I’m in Florida my phone thinks I’m in Tennessee and I get the same message.

I mean, they have a point. Only requiring specific sites to comply just drives them to sites that don't. If I required 7/11 to ID minors and let Circle K sell to whoever they want do you think that will curb underage drinking or will all the minors just go to Circle K?

Meanwhile several states don’t require IDs to vote

not an untrue statement.
i'm not against the legislation in theory, and i don't believe in "we have to do somethings" either.

Ancient boomers and people who have never had a non-political job don’t live in the real world.
Unfortunately that’s who passes laws. They don’t even write them. I’m sure some Bible thumping family lobbying group wrote these laws.

If search engines and the internet are to be believed it goes dark in quite a few states.

You operate under the assumption that drinking and porn consumption is impossible to derail and its nearly a rite of passage.
Why is it mandatory that children consume porn? Why do people believe it's impossible to keep children from consuming porn? It's just a strange stance to me.
This plus other blockers can make it harder. Just because it can happen doesn't mean you should help it to happen. It's the same mindset that leads states like California to create injection sites. You accept that it's impossible to stop open air drug use so you almost encourage it when you make policy based on the idea that it's impossible to stop. (I.e. they will do drugs no matter what so might as well make it clean, and now you're spending money enabling drug use)
You don't want to make the initial effort to prevent damage but the social damage will cost you the same as the initial action to stop it.
