At the dawn of the new year, Pornhub will leave Florida. Thanks to a harsh new age verification law that takes effect on January 1, the porn giant will no longer do business in the sunshine state. The law mirrors similar laws passed in other Republican led states where Pornhub has stopped doing business.
And more importantly, these laws are written so broadly that these age verification laws can be applied to any website that the state government doesn’t like whether they host porn or not. CNN posts article about killings in Gaza? That’s not appropriate for children so ID needed. Left-wing forum that’s critical of the local Republican government? Well that’s not appropriate for children either so we’ll need to see the IDs of everyone that has ever visited the site.
I hope these laws get overturned sooner than later but I won’t hold my breath.
The only killings in Gaza CNN would post about is IDF and hostage deaths.
I literally thought the same thing while writing it, but still wanted to use a mainstream source as an example.
