jeffwPornhub to leave five more states over age-verification laws
JesusI had to travel to Austin for work a few weeks ago. Got off the plane, checked into the hotel, took a shower, decided to use mother nature’s melatonin to help with the jet lag… then, boom. Upload your driver’s license.
So I had visited some sites that were hosted outside US and didn’t give a fuck about Texas’ stupid laws.
These laws are not only authoritarian, they’re fucking useless.
KairosIn any given situation, sites beholden to these laws are much less likely to be hosting CSAM
Riccosuave[X] DOUBT
Why? Do you not remember how PornHub requires verification to upload content now? They’re also beholden to their payment processors.
If that’s true, then even conservatives won’t go to them.
That’s like saying a supermarket that’s burning to the ground is experiencing a record low theft.
No it’s not.
Other way around:
Sites that COMPLY with laws and exit the state leave behind sites that do not comply.
The sites you CAN reach in Texas are more likely to have trafficking victims and underage participants – because those sites clearly don’t give a hoot about laws.
Texas drove away the wrong sites!
Yes that’s literally what I said…
Sites beholden to these laws…
PornHub, sister sites, etc…
…are much less likely to be hosting CSAM.
Because of their moderation.
If you get downvoted once, everyone else has to downvote you too before they read your comment, it’s the rule of lemmy.
Of okay. Thanks.
I’m guessing they don’t know what beholden means?
Maybe
