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.

      I’m not banning the content, I’m just making sure that when someone tells you something on the internet, you can tell that they are actually a fucking moron.

        That doesn’t make any sense. You wouldn’t have access to their ID. Even if you did, you’re saying you can tell someone is an idiot by what? How they look? Their country of residence? Their age?

          Okay. Imagine if there were no anonymous internet handles. If you just had to use your name and stand by what you said. That is more what I am talking about. Regarding the assessment of idiocy, I suppose I would base it on the quality of their posted content.
