There are a million other ways to access it. I don't know how introducing privacy invading practices could end up as a net good.

- doggero 2y agoIf you feel that some pornography site would be invading your privacy by asking for age verification, then just don't use it. It really is that easy. No-one's forcing you to watch porn. It's not a necessary consumption. And if you consider the abuse that is rife within the pornography industry, then really it is better to not increase demand for this material by consuming it.
- gambiting 2y ago>>And if you consider the abuse that is rife within the pornography industry, then really it is better to not increase demand for this material anyway. The abuse within Hollywood is legendary at this point, hope you never go to cinema to see any films, better not to increase demand for this stuff /s
- anon291 2y agoLike the privacy invading practice of requiring drug stores to check IDs before selling Playboys? I'm sorry, Playboy is way tamer than Pornhub. There's no reason PH should have less strict access requirements. There's no 'right' to access porn anonymously. For goodness' sake, most states monitor your alcohol consumption by tying purchases to your ID!
- gambiting 2y ago>>Like the privacy invading practice of requiring drug stores to check IDs before selling Playboys? Wait, is that a thing in the US? Really? >> For goodness' sake, most states monitor your alcohol consumption by tying purchases to your ID! Again, that's a thing in the states? Wow, land of the free indeed.
- anon291 2y agoYes, several states like Virginia only sell liquor at government-owned stores. Others like Oregon require that liquor stores are separately run, and they'll scan your ID everytime and it'll get sent to the state alcohol bureau. Of course then you also have states like Louisiana with drive-through Daquiri stores.
- EnergyAmy 2y agoIf all drug stores everywhere colluded to record your ID permanently, the analogy might make sense. There is a right to access porn anonymously if both parties consent. You need to prove that the government has an overriding need to insert itself in the middle.
- shrimp_emoji 2y agoIf porn was like drugs, the analogy might make sense. (If you make that equivalence, you're off the reservation. Or have never done drugs. What's next, video games cause school shootings, Mrs. Gore?)
- anon291 2y agoI'm not sure about Nebraska's law, but the law only states PH acquires proof, not keep a record of the license. That means PornHub could hire people to view the license on a live feed and then click yes / no.
- EnergyAmy 2y agoSaying "Just bankrupt yourself to comply" isn't really an option. It's much like laws restricting abortion that are unsecretly trying to make it de facto illegal.
- mcphage 2y ago> Like the privacy invading practice of requiring drug stores to check IDs before selling Playboys? I’m curious what the result would have been if you needed to provide your ID to Playboy themselves and not merely the drug store.
