Adult entertainment website Pornhub blocked access to its content from Texas on Thursday in response to a new law requiring age verification to access pornographic material in the state.
That made Texas the eighth state to have access to Pornhub blocked by the website, following Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah and Virginia according to USA Today.
Supporters of the new laws say they are needed to prevent minors from accessing pornographic content online. However, critics argue they also block access for many adults and that this constitutes a First Amendment violation.

Yeah... if they're blocking adults, I can see this going to court. Because they have no right to block an adult.

Yeah, some states are blocking certain sites or wanting you to upload your ID.
I don't know, if they crack down on adult material, couldn't people just learn to create their own material using AI or even photo editing, where it would be more customized for the viewer AND cheaper? Most "Adult entertainment" is cheezy or low quality anyways. Imagine creating something that perfectly aligns to your tastes instead of having to find something "almost" or worse yet, having to imagine.

Being born and raised in Sweden, I can tell you first hand that an American man's own sexuality is his greatest enemy, which is also why Trump's base is comprised of young men under 30 who want nothing to do with sexual diversity. That whole concept of gays, lesbians, transgenders and not knowing which washroom to use at the mall is so far beyond their comprehension, that they feel that their own male heterosexuality has become extinct and that the world has left the straight white guy behind to rot as he takes up residence in his parent's basement after college if he even makes it to college by the age of 30.
When I travel around Scandinavia or central Europe and even to the Caribbean on business trips, local men will easily converse with me in their own language and they feel comfortable in their own skin, not feeling at all intimidated by me or how I may look compared to them.
When I'm in the USA on business however, the American male regardless of his age, responds to me like he's an adolescent boy in high school and as soon as they hear my Swedish accent, the first thing they'll remind me of is that I'm not one of them, that I'm obviously not an American and then they will immediately go into a very defensive social posturing mode which generally solicits a crowd of their male friends to gather around to render support to their comrade who's obviously being threatened by some blonde haired foreign adversary!
Americans are fuking weird in their own country, but you should see them when they travel abroad! They behave like they're all in the US Marine Corp together, regardless of their ages but they are so blatantly insecure as red blooded men, that they cannot function without other American men around them, even if they don't know them.

@SandWitch Bizarre indeed. I watched a movie on an American station, I think.it was Goodfellows. The edited out the profanity but not thr gratuitous violence. I found that strange. The get upset about nudity but muder is ok. I guess there is still a puritanical streak in their culture. I have also noticed that many are xenophobic and but default feel animosity towards foreigners.

You've encapsulated the American persona and hit the nail on the head!

I must admit that I am at a disadvantage here because I don't watch porn but wasn't one of those sites somehow allowing kiddie porn? I seem to remember something on a news site talking about it a number of years ago.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@smileylovesgaming You could be right on that. From what I heard or at least think I remember hearing is that the site is run out of Quebec Canada (Montreal?) and was under investigation for kiddie porn. Like I said before I don't know much about the porn industry other than what I read on various websites about their legal problems.

@hippyjoe1955 I remember a few year's ago pornhub had a bunch of their videos and all was taken off of the site after that happen. I think they shutdown because of it

Porn is alive and well over here in Sweden!
By the way, did you Americans not know that PornHub is a Canadian-owned porn site, not American?
