Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn - Pawb.Social

> As of this week, half of the states in the U.S. are under restrictive age verification laws that require adults to hand over their biometric and personal identification to access legal porn. > > Missouri became the 25th state to enact its own age verification law on Sunday. As it’s done in multiple other states, Pornhub and its network of sister sites—some of the largest adult content platforms in the world—pulled service in Missouri, replacing their homepages with a video of performer Cherie DeVille speaking about the privacy risks and chilling effects of age verification.

If you VPN into the UK or Australia, you’ll run into the same restrictions.

As more countries impose this kind of legislation, VPNs become less and less of a solution, and they were only ever a solution for people who can afford them.

That means there’s more money to be made by other more obscure countries, right?

The problem is that these kinds of laws are becoming widespread. When they become the norm, simply VPN’ing to a different country won’t save you, because there won’t be any “safe” countries.

@mic_check_one_two @fodor move all the internet over tor

Yes I would agree. But one big issue on tor. Do not try and lookup nsfw. In minutes you find shit you absolutely dont want…
Show threadMalMenDec 3
@kylian0087 if enough people join TOR it will probably auto regulate and some safe places will be created

I disagree. That would encourage more VPN companies to open up abroad. Two hundred countries and many don’t care what others think.

Some states have already begun to require sites to detect connections from VPNs and block them.

Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing

It's unfortunately no longer enough to force websites to check your government-issued ID before you can access certain content, because politicians have now discovered that people are using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to protect their privacy and bypass these invasive laws. Their solution? Entirely ban the use of VPNs.
