I was just going to use as a comment.
Then I realized the mods demand three sentences to start a thread.
Well, then.
Thursday, Virginia Democrat and President Pro Tempore of the Virginia State Senate, L. Louise Lucas (D-Portsmouth), is lambasting Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin because she can no longer access Pornhub’s streaming site for pornographic videos. Somehow one is not surprised that a Democrat politician is angry about being deprived of her favorite porn service. Still, there is a certain transparency about owning up to it in public.
What’s happening is that Virginia is one of a handful of states that require pornographic sites to ensure that users are not minors. As far as I can tell, Louisiana was the first to roll out the requirement. It was followed by Utah. Virginia, Mississippi, and Arkansas have laws that will go into effect on Saturday, July 1.
Pornhub claims that the states requiring users to provide proof of ID, get this, puts users at risk of identity theft because Pornhub can’t guarantee their personal identifying information. In my view, this begs the question of why you’d give them credit card information. Pornhub says they want a “device based” system that would let anyone verify a device that could be used by a minor.
