Pornhub has shut off access in Mississippi and Virginia to protest age verification laws that can involve checking government IDs. It previously blocked access in Utah.
The point is that these states are making ridiculous, unenforceable censorship laws. They’re going to try to gate ALL of those arguably better resources you’re talking about behind some kind of age verification like a driver’s license or some shit. PornHub is just the headline because it’s a popular website protesting.
