Funny thing is....do people think Pornhub is the only porn site on the internet or something? That if they make Pornhub shut down that all the porn will magically disappear? Fucking LOL. Sure, there's a good idea guys. It's not like there aren't a billion other porn sites on the internet that couldn't give a shit less about US age verification laws.
All this will do is drive people away from the most popular porn sites that at least have something in place even if it isn't very good and drive them to any number of other sites where they'll pick up all sorts of malware on their devices and probably finding even more of the porn-of-questionable-legality that these bills were meant to stifle in the first place.
Fire hot, water wet, teenagers are gonna find porn. It's embedded in their DNA. Don't believe me? Ask any teenager in the 80s about going into the woods to find a stash of porn magazines. We weren't told this shit. It's just like we...knew. Basic instinct. We somehow just knew there was porn in the woods and on scrambled cable TV channels at like 4 in the morning. Porn is eternal. And as long as it's out there, teenagers are going to find it.
Pornhub is just good about making news about them, raises their profile and perception as the main porn site.
It's not just pornhub. There are already a handful of others closing off service as well.
And for each one of those, two that don't give a shit about age verification will pop up to take it's place. Pornhub could close today and it would be replaced with hubofporn and pornohubs dot com by lunchtime, hosted in some country like the Isle of Man or something.
Also, porn sites can just white label their UX/content kinda like how there's a million pirate Bay proxies
I was setting up an 8mm projector to watch porn in 70s when I was still middle school aged. (Adults on screen)
they’ll pick up all sorts of malware on their devices
How so? Unless they are downloading sketchy things, there is no reason for them to get a virus with a reasonably up-to-date browser.
