We have lemmynsfw
Fortunately, this is easy to work around, just get a VPN hosted in a didn't different state or country.
We have something similar here in Utah, so I have a WiFi network that is always connected to a VPN in a neighboring state. If something isn't accessible, I just swap WiFi networks and I'm good.
So what who cares. VPNs cost money and this is a question of basic freedom.
Free porn is basic freedom?
The porn is just the first place they start, their plan is to label anything lgbt as pornographic and require a similar process to view basic educational content. This is how they get around the 1st amendment.
Seems like it became so, yea
But it's more a question of anonymity / privacy while doing those things
There are free VPNs as well, such as Proton's free tier, or Tor. So you've got options.
But yes, I absolutely agree that this shouldn't be necessary. My point is that it's largely unenforceable if you put in a tiny amount of effort.
Honestly, these laws are just gonna hurt old men in Republican states. Like, I grew up with piracy, torrents, and old school forums. These educated me on computers enough that I made a career out of it. And most of that computer knowledge was gained because I wanted to see big tittied women sit on each other's faces. These laws don't stop horny teens from accessing porn. It just makes them better at it.
And this is definitely not one of the cases of "oh it'll reduce numbers overall though". No the fuck it won't. It's porn. They're gonna access it. Literally every YouTuber they watch is sponsored by a VPN.
The only healthy thing to do is actually talking to your kids about porn. Educating them on its potential harms. But Republicans don't ever want to talk to their kids. Ironically, these "drain the swamp" people just want daddy government to "prevent" their kids from accessing it. Which these laws don't do.

You know I think a lot more of their politics and general life outlook makes more sense when you understand that probably a lot of these super old guys are not computer literate enough to look up their niche fetishistic porn interests, and are probably still consuming porn the old fashioned way, which is becoming increasingly nonexistent even though it's still something that actually exists. Plus the propagation of morally puritanical values means that if they kept any of that material around at all, they'd be hypocrites, so they can't have that. Probably a lot of these dudes are walking around super pent up and sexually frustrated, I'd bet.
We need to introduce local community college and library courses to teach these elderly boomers how to goon
I think your theory is partially correct. But I think it's just as likely they are gooners themselves. I feel like porn addiction (gooning) is more prolific which people that have reactionary beliefs. My theory is that their political leanings are a counter to their actual actions. I don't think the gooner needs "material" to goon to. I think in it's absence it will happen through a Macy's magazine etc.
It's similar almost to priest being the most common pedos. I think these types of conservative/reactionary ideologies just create sexual suppression that manifest in addictive behavior. This is not to say that all conservatives are pedos. But to say that those beliefs combined with sexual suppression often creat these extremes. Whether it be addiction to gooning (outside of their access to goon material) or otherwise.
Idk. I just think that it's an unhealthy relationship with sexuality that any generation can fall pray to. But it's happens more often based on the circumstances of each individual/generation. And it's why it seems to be so extreme in both boomers and recent generations. They both are experiencing extreme economic material conditions/contradictions.

Pedos tend to aggregate around any job that will give them trusted or unrestricted access to children. The suppression you're talking about in this case isn't just from religion, but permeates all of society. Like, they can't even hypothetically leave the church and move somewhere more liberal where their desire for kid fucking isn't being suppressed. At least not until the weird libertarian crypto-bros who oppose age of consent manage to create such a place.
These laws don’t stop horny teens from accessing porn. It just makes them better at it.
Exactly. And it punishes the responsible sites that follow the law and drives people to the sketchier sites that don't.
If you want more viruses and identity theft, I guess this is a good law for you.
Yep. If these red states actually cared about kids they'd care about proper sex education. But I think this stuff just proves that Republicans are afraid of sex. They had an awkward conversation about it with their dad once and have been leaving their wives unsatisfied for 30 years since. They have no idea what to do if their kid actually came home from school and asked them what the difference between a clitoris and a vagina was. They are absolutely afraid of the female body and it's why they try to control it so much.
Sorry. A bit of a rant. If this was a different conversation I'd have plenty to criticize about the sex industry too. But these conservatives don't have enough brain cells to actually talk about the problems with it. So we have old men making laws that do nothing but make them feel better. Or it's projection for their own porn addiction.
My money is on projection.
Column A and Column B for sure
The whole porn ban thing is probably my all-time favorite example of conservatives voting against themselves.
Meanwhile, in California, I can watch all the porn I want without registering myself in a database and walk down the street to the weed store. And the women in my life still have rights over their own bodies.
So I guess Democrats are actually the party of freedom.
B- b- but, California b-b-bad! 🥺 Don't you see how oppressed you are? You're really oppressed out there. 🥺
California is bad for voting to keep prison slavery and refusing to solve the housing crisis with a council housing system much like the UK used to have.
One of my fave porn vids got affected though.

Me: This is America.
Pornhub: This content is not available in your state due to ID verification legislation.
My VPN: This is Germany.
My favorite small example of this is trying to watch a video on YouTube. If my VPN is set to United States then im told 'You can't watch this unless you log in.'
I switch to Germany and like magic the video plays. So clearly they didn't need to confirm I wasn't a bot. They just wanted to track my viewing habits.
Eh, no need for crazy latency, just get one in Colorado or something nearby.

Will porn be the straw that broke the mountain's back?
No because there are a million different websites that just don't follow these rules. All this does is dissuade people who are both clueless about where to find porn and not particularly determined.
It also won't make a difference when basically every major social media website is a softcore porn website. I feel like conservatives opened their crusade by targeting thotfluencers they would have had a lot of momentum.

They did. Under the hashtag ThotAudit, after one thotfluencer said something that could be interpreted as her not paying taxes on the money she was making showing her bits online.
Prohibition but worse
