Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to ban online porn.

approximately 20-25% of internet traffic is due to porn. Simply put she's lying if she say she hasnt heard of it. She looks like the type say that stuff in the open and have 10 or so videos bookmarked when she needs a release. And everyone else is too. Could I see a chance that pornhub could be banned?Maybe but do I see a chance the internet traffic every changes? hell no

Some of the internet’s biggest adult websites, including Pornhub, are now blocking access to Utah users over a new age verification law that takes effect on Wednesday.

Pornhub and other adult sites controlled by its parent, MindGeek, began blocking visitors with Utah-based IP addresses this week. Now, instead of seeing adult content when visiting those sites, affected users are shown a message expressing opposition to SB287, the Utah law signed by Gov. Spencer Cox in March that creates liability for porn sites that make their content available to people below the age of 18.

“As you may know, your elected officials in Utah are requiring us to verify your age before allowing you access to our website,” the message said. “While safety and compliance are at the forefront of our mission, giving your ID card every time you want to visit an adult platform is not the most effective solution for protecting our users, and in fact, will put children and your privacy at risk.”

Senators unveil bipartisan legislation to ban kids under 13 from joining social media platforms
The statement, accompanied by a video of an adult actor reading the message on-camera, added that the age verification requirement could drive users “to sites with far fewer safety measures.” And it called for policymakers to “identify users by their device” rather than by requiring them to upload their photo ID.

“Until a real solution is offered, we have made the difficult decision to completely disable access to our website in Utah,” the message said, concluding with a call for Utahns to “demand device-based verification solutions” from policymakers.

Pornhub declined to comment on its actions in Utah beyond the message it posted to users in the state, and it also declined to address the likelihood of attempts to circumvent the IP address filtering.

Porn sites aren’t the only ones to face calls for age verification. State and federal lawmakers have increasingly pushed to mandate a minimum age for social media use, too. Last week, US senators proposed a nationwide ban on social media use for children under 13. Age requirements for social websites have also been approved in Arkansas.

But porn is often a bellwether for how content and technologies may be regulated. In Louisiana, one of the country’s first age requirements for adult websites went into effect in January.

Pornhub, which says it receives 130 million visitors a day, is still available in Louisiana despite the age verification law. Users accessing Pornhub from within Louisiana are presented with a different webpage that directs them to verify their age with the state’s digital ID system, known as LA Wallet.

A spokesperson for the site told CNN that since the Louisiana law went into effect, traffic from that state has fallen by 80%. The spokesperson added that unlike Louisiana, Utah lacks a similar digital ID solution.

Since 2021, authorities have offered Utah residents the option to create an electronic version of their driver’s license that is accepted at local credit unions, liquor stores and at Salt Lake City International Airport. According to a website for the program, as of March, more than 24,000 people have registered with Utah’s system, which is designed to let users store their license on an app. But on Tuesday, the Pornhub spokesperson told CNN the system is not currently equipped to perform online age verification and is only set up for in-person usage.

MindGeek also owns a separate age verification company known as AgeID, which is currently in use in Germany, though it does not currently operate in the United States. MindGeek didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Amid allegations that Pornhub was facilitating the spread of a wide range of abusive material, the site has required since 2021 that performers who upload content undergo an age and identity verification process.

The good news is she thinks everyone is into Antifa bondage porn like she is, so she'll leave the stuff we like alone.

Protect kids from it. Require a credit or age verification. I understand the "slippery slope" argument but we've literally censored, banned, and blacklisted countless people simply for politically incorrect speech. I've been banned from countless social media sites and didn't even talk about sex. If we can ban that, protecting kids from ubiquitous graphic hardcore porn shouldn't be a big controversy. President Clinton and Democratic Senator Exon initiated and signed the Internet Decency Act in the 1990s. It used to be non-partisan to protect kids from extreme hardcore porn. Yes we left that shore a long time ago but we shouldn't have.

If you want to watch hardcore porn as an adult then go to a "adult bookstore" or show an ID. I still believe why part of why Millennials and Zoomers are so fucked up us because of the early exposesure to extreme porn online. We hear a lot about "nuance" but when it comes to extreme porn online it's just "no limits" total "free speech" while I'm still banned from Facebook just for being too whatever. Protect our kids from this. We've already list 1.5 generations. Let's stop this!

I still prefer to see a pretty naked women to people having graphic sex. I really don't even want to see a dick at all but it if its 70s or 80s era porn that's kind of ok sometimes. This garbage now is mostly just gross. The young people today have been totally brainwashed.

The logic in the post is quite the leap over the Grand Canyon

Wacko right winger wants to ban porn

This website leans conservative

Members of a strip club site are hypocrites

QED

I look at porn, but I think free unlimited access to such plentiful porn is bad for young men and society, for lots of reasons.

I don’t think the problem is the content itself, but the fact that it so easily accessible

Eh I don't really care. It could stay or it can go. I watched so much porn as a teen to last me a lifetime. The graphics are nice but the plot is always the same.

Feel free to ban porn and strip clubs. I will adjust. Very little of what i enjoy is good for society, so ban gambling as well.

^ damn skibum if you ban those 3 things what am I gonna do all day?

There's no reason to ban anything consenting adults want that doesn't hurt others. I, like most Republicans, am for smaller government, not larger, and this seems like a massive overreach.

This is junk the liberals used to do. Remember Tipper Gore? The talk from this lady seems very similar

I am reminded of when I was station in Japan back in 1964/65. The base commander's wife got him to ban the sale of Playboy magazine on base.

This thing comes up with the loony tunes crowd from time to time, they’re not really interested in doing the work of government they just want to fund raise for their own personal benefit.

The fact that I continue to engage full speed tells me I wouldn’t change much. If I knew then what I know now, I would’ve been more efficient and more successful, but that might not have been a good thing. I’d like to think I have the discipline not to overindulge but my younger self was a lot more reckless, and that’s saying something.

Shit, meant to post the above in Wall’s thread.

Shailyn: Gambling? I am sitting here betting racing from UK Kempton on my NYRA account, because I cannot wait for basketball betting tonight lol.

Both democrats and republicans want to take away our freedoms. Republicans want to take away our freedom to buy pussy and porn and drugs, and have abortions. Democrats want to take away our guns, our money, our right to self defense, our right to work, earn a living, not have strange things put in our blood, our right to have a country. They both suck, but democrats suck much worse.

Government does a lot of stuff to discourage us from our harmful impulses. Sometimes it’s good. The taxation of cigarettes probably saved millions of lives.
Reigning in porn would be good for the country, but they can’t criminalize it, just discourage it.

Pretty sure online porn wants to ban MTG

I've always thought all relationships between adults should be voluntary and mutually beneficial to those involved. The proper purpose of government is to prevent anyone from using force or fraud to get something they want from another person. The government has an interest in stopping sex trafficking in the porn industry but that's about it.
