Pornhub, the website that’s a lot like YouTube, but for masturbating, announced Wednesday they’re soon going to force Floridian masturbators to use VPNs to access their vast video library as on January 1st when a new law kicks in the Sunshine State’s pro-freedom government will require users to upload a pic of their photo ID just like in Texas and Utah stupidly did, WKMG reports.
“First, to be clear, [Pornhub parent company] Aylo has publicly supported age verification of users for years, but we believe that any law to this effect must preserve user safety and privacy, and must effectively protect children from accessing content intended for adults. Unfortunately, the way many jurisdictions worldwide, including Florida, have chosen to implement age verification is ineffective, haphazard, and dangerous. Any regulations that require hundreds of thousands of adult sites to collect significant amounts of highly sensitive personal information is putting user safety in jeopardy. Moreover, as experience has demonstrated, unless properly enforced, users will simply access non-compliant sites or find other methods of evading these laws,” the company said in a statement.
Worth asking if Governor Pudding Fingers would’ve signed this bill if Pornhub had just split the difference and offered to block all the BGTQ+ content from Floridian viewers. Hard to see how the L videos wouldn’t be fine with them. Some Bs too, as long as the guys don’t cross swords or anything.
