#2>Motherboard confirmed, through a virtual private network, that Pornhub is showing people visiting the site from a Louisiana-based IP address a page that requires identity verification before entering.
How'd they finangle that, every VPN I've used only let you select the country not the state?

#3As someone who started watching porn when he was 10 and wishes he hadn't, this seems like great news to me. Hopefully sites like reddit follow suit

#4I think this will also be true for California and Texas in 2024 (not just porn, any website with user generated content)

My money is on a reporter friend in Louisiana let a reporter VPN into their machine.

It would actually be great, I know freedom and whatnot but raising someone through the puberty ages is really tricky right now.
The social media stuff is almost worse than the porn, because banning your kid from it is blocking them from the main way their peers communicate. So you are left with the choice of letting their undeveloped brains get barraged by social media, or making them the odd one out at school.

ProtonVPN allows you to select a State.

#8I don't like this because state/federal identification systems are woefully inadequate, and integrating it into this sort of regulation calcifies usage of the already ineffective system, and creates a lobbying interest against any improvements but I suppose there's mitigating factors.
- it's a mere deterrent
- it's limited regionally

I started probably as a 12 year old but don't regret it. That being said, I think the main thing for teens or whoever to understand is that these are actors and this is purely an entertainment production. Most women are not interested in non-emotional, non-intimate sex (although a small minority is), but watching porn at a young age might give you the impression that it's the case.

Most of them allow to select exit nodes.
