Currently ‘enjoying’ being in a green state, but for the sake of my kids ‘innocence’ I hope there’s a reliable way to control what they see online by the time they’re old enough to access the internet on their own.
edit: getting downvoted pretty hard, folks want to share the objection? Free speech absolutists for kids in here giving it to me?

I love having my freedom stripped away because Republicans think that minors don’t know how to access porn.
so pornhub is going to block itself in more than half the country soon

All the ban in my state did was make me find less moderated sites to visit.

This isn’t accurate.
My state is green but we have verification for pornhub. I VPN into Canada a few times per week.

Ohio needs an asterisk because a lot are ignoring it because of the way the law is written.

So, wait, its mostly or only Republican controlled states with passed age-verification bills. Are you saying they are the party that is against freedom??!!??

I don’t remember liberals complaining when age verification was required for cigarettes and we banned cigarette vending machines.
Oh, that’s right, it’s was mostly democrats passing those laws.

Tennessee supposedly has age verification, but I’ve only seen it on paid sites.

So, current state of the *legislation* rather than the actual verification?
This isn’t about porn. It’s about controlling media.
All of this driving VPN sales to skyrocket
Its cool, now the kids in the red states can just ask Grok to generate all the deviant AI porn their brains can conjure.
as someone living in TN, there is age verification
Lol sounds like porn hub worried it Will loose some traffic.
But really idc. I have to provide my id for nicotine, beer, weed all kinds of stuff.
If this helps keep at least some kids safe then im for it. Porn at a young age can really fuck up kids heads.
The color scheme is throwing me off here
