Louisiana was the first state to pass an ID law like this. When it happened last year, Pornhub complied. It said its traffic fell 80 percent in the state. “These people did not stop looking for porn. They just migrated to darker corners of the internet that don’t ask users to verify age, that don’t follow the law, that don’t take user safety seriously, and that often don’t even moderate content. In practice, the laws have just made the internet more dangerous for adults and children"

Plus it's a privacy nightmare.
Jokes on them, pulling out is not a safe method against conception. They would need to pull a condom over Florida if they were serious.
Just cut Florida off completely
There are times when a Floridectomy is the right choice.
Climate change is going to take care of that soon enough.
Am Floridian. I support.
Cut off Texas too, they've already been trying for years.
Am also from Florida. She had a good run. Time to scuttle it.
I'm confused, if Pornhub is the one pulling out, what good does a condom on Florida do?
Female condoms exist, though?
There are dozens of them sold every year

We would like to thank this law's sponsor, NordVPN. -- Florida's GOP
Don't promote terrible VPNs. Mullvad*
Just make sure to display a front page for Floridians listing the names of those who are to blame for this ruling.
Really not the reason I log into pornhub
Probably not anyones reason to do that. But imagine Floridians opening it and seeing two things: a) no porn and b) the idiots who are the reason for no porn. Even Floridians might be able to draw a line between those two things.
The GOP are bad people and should not be in charge of anything.
Bold statement, on Lemmy. Would anyone disagree with that here?
there are some bots on lemmy, yes
You only need to listen to them for a few minutes to realize how evil and extremely ignorant these people are:

Awesome! Expect a significant decline in step-siomehing narratives.
I sincerely doubt it.

the subtitle is even funnier than the title
Genuinely curious to know if their numbers are going down as a result or if people are just piling into VPNs to use porn.
I had one already for... uh... safe and legal downloads of movies/shows I definitely already own. But I have to assume this is cutting into the audience to some degree.
PH's traffic will likely go down, but other sites that don't follow the law will just go up.
Like you can just click the 3rd result and that one will probably work.

Yeah, but they're still going to jizz all over its ass
Phrasing?
Are we not doing "phrasing" anymore?!
I see, pulling out as in pulling out the penis from the vagina prior to ejaculation
I thought that had a while category related to pulling out
