Pornhub Is Pulling Out of Florida
gizmodo.com
Starting January 1, Floridians can no longer legally come to Pornhub.

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.

    I’m not in favour of that law, but I could abide it if the age verification is done in a reasonable and secure way. Even the secure ways don’t protect against a kid borrowing an unrestricted device.

    I have no faith that will happen though. More likely what will happen is you’ll have to send your id to the porn websites and they’ll send it to a third party company with nebulous privacy requirements and your porn browsing history will be available to anyone with money.

        Same here. Npbody should have to submit their identity for that.

        An alternative would be a device local authentication system that validates your age from your browser in a privacy preserving way. I’d much prefer that method if we had to go down that route.
