Party of personal responsibility says the website has to stop THEIR children from watching porn.
"Law enforcement isn’t expected to police sites. Instead the bill set up a process for parents whose minor children are able to access pornography to sue providers."
“This law is to protect the children!”
“Why won’t you bother to protect your own children by watching what they’re doing online?”
“HOW DARE YOU!”
Mike Johnson: “My son watches the best porn.”
Ugh... Thanks for reminding me that the family values conservative father/son team critique each other's porn tastes.
They watch it on the same couch. It’s not gay when it’s your son. Just a bonding thing.

Daddy taught me how to tie a knot.
If your religion is so great and righteous, there shouldn't be a need to outlaw anything. The powerful morals and teachings you provide your children should be more than enough to protect them from anything in the world throughout their lives.
If you can't control what they see online or on any computer, how do you expect them to go through life on their own? If they fail, it's the parents and adults they looked up to and taught them that failed not society.
Also ....... why the hell are you guys so fixated on sex and children?
So then if the child uses a VPN can the VPN be sued?
Great question, how about another?
Does Reddit have porn?
Does Lemmy have porn?
What is porn, and is it defined in this law?
Guberment InTeRfErAnCe! :-(
Wait! Do thoughts and prayers not work to keep kids from porn just like they don't work to save kids from getting shot in a school shooting?
Let’s try, I’m gonna think about porn real hard and see what happens.
Well if you start out real hard not a lot will happen..
Instructions unclear, I now have a sticky situation.
Just bare minimum parenting skills are effective, I'm afraid.
How long before women get thrown in prison for giving these cowards “involuntary” erections?
As soon as they refuse to wear their chastity robes.
It’s the woman’s fault she if she gets raped anyway. She should have known. Why didn’t she have her face covered?
"Hmm... maybe we should cover women in a certain kind of garb so that they don't tempt us with lustful manipulati- oh wait"
"small government"
Lmao yeah totally.
We are witnessing the deregulation before our very eyes.
Holy crap, how depraved do you have to be for PornHub to block you?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
404Media reported that residents in both North Carolina and Montana visiting Pornhub and other Aylo-owned sites like Redtube or Brazzers are now greeted by a video of performer Cherie DeVille, and a handful of paragraphs, telling them their states are now blocked.
Aylo began blocking access in the states last week, according to reporting from multiple outlets including The Fayetteville Observer and KRTV in Great Falls, Montana.
Despite the company’s safety claims, Aylo was recently fined $1.8 million by the federal government for allegedly willfully hosting videos of sex trafficking victims.
Louisiana, Utah, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Virginia have passed similar laws, prompting Pornhub to block access in those states as well.
Meanwhile, Texas passed its own identification law, currently under appeal in the Fifth Circuit, that also requires adult film sites to show unsubstantiated warnings about the health risks of watching porn.
Correction January 2nd, 2024, 5:23PM ET: A previous version of this article implied Pornhub currently used device identifiers for age verification; we’ve updated to reflect this has not been confirmed.
The original article contains 464 words, the summary contains 172 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
So… the republicans are saying „it’s us or the porn”? That will certainly go well for them
Pornhub said in its statement that it supports laws that require age verification on devices, as opposed at individual websites. Galey, R-Alamance, said she’s “willing to work with anybody to improve the law and to make it better target what we want to do, which is protect children.” She also said it’s “a little challenging to think that this industry is some kind of great player with clean hands.”
Pretty good chance those hands are covered in lube.
Upcoming law: VPN providers are required to track which individual uses VPN and block access for underage one. They will be required to hold all logs of users activities for at least 5 years to have Mike Johnson's son verify.
Fwiw, pornhubs take on these laws is accurate. The only sites that I can't get to are pornhub proper, xhamster, and a few others. I can still get on straight up studio websites like naughtyamerica and reality kings, etc.
The yarr sites for porn are still very much available, all without a VPN.
