Missouri’s age verification law, enacted on November 30, is the halfway mark for the sweep of age verification laws across the country.

As of this week, half of the states in the U.S. are under restrictive age verification laws that require adults to hand over their biometric and personal identification to access legal porn.

Missouri became the 25th state to enact its own age verification law on Sunday. As it’s done in multiple other states, Pornhub and its network of sister sites—some of the largest adult content platforms in the world—pulled service in Missouri, replacing their homepages with a video of performer Cherie DeVille speaking about the privacy risks and chilling effects of age verification.

    Glad I’m not the only one who thought that. It’s like justifying censorship because I don’t have the will power to control myself or parent my kids. Wow, that’s like announcing I’m a shit parent. I don’t think censorship will save ANYONE. A DCFS investigation might be more aligned.

      Not gonna fucking work anyhow. Prohibition doesn’t work, it hasn’t ever worked. If they can’t browse phub, they’ll find it somewhere else. You can find porn in fucking Roblox.
