      “This law is to protect the children!”

      “Why won’t you bother to protect your own children by watching what they’re doing online?”

      “HOW DARE YOU!”

      Mike Johnson: “My son watches the best porn.”

      If your religion is so great and righteous, there shouldn’t be a need to outlaw anything. The powerful morals and teachings you provide your children should be more than enough to protect them from anything in the world throughout their lives.

      If you can’t control what they see online or on any computer, how do you expect them to go through life on their own? If they fail, it’s the parents and adults they looked up to and taught them that failed not society.

      Also … why the hell are you guys so fixated on sex and children?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    404Media reported that residents in both North Carolina and Montana visiting Pornhub and other Aylo-owned sites like Redtube or Brazzers are now greeted by a video of performer Cherie DeVille, and a handful of paragraphs, telling them their states are now blocked.

    Aylo began blocking access in the states last week, according to reporting from multiple outlets including The Fayetteville Observer and KRTV in Great Falls, Montana.

    Despite the company’s safety claims, Aylo was recently fined $1.8 million by the federal government for allegedly willfully hosting videos of sex trafficking victims.

    Louisiana, Utah, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Virginia have passed similar laws, prompting Pornhub to block access in those states as well.

    Meanwhile, Texas passed its own identification law, currently under appeal in the Fifth Circuit, that also requires adult film sites to show unsubstantiated warnings about the health risks of watching porn.

    Correction January 2nd, 2024, 5:23PM ET: A previous version of this article implied Pornhub currently used device identifiers for age verification; we’ve updated to reflect this has not been confirmed.


    The original article contains 464 words, the summary contains 172 words. Saved 63%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Pornhub said in its statement that it supports laws that require age verification on devices, as opposed at individual websites. Galey, R-Alamance, said she’s “willing to work with anybody to improve the law and to make it better target what we want to do, which is protect children.” She also said it’s “a little challenging to think that this industry is some kind of great player with clean hands.”

    Pretty good chance those hands are covered in lube.
