The fact that this website simply refuses to do any kind of age verification says a lot about their leadership and possibly their motives...

The thing is, age verification that consists of more than a simple button of "yes I'm over 18" is privacy intrusive. Who wants to register as a porn viewer? Especially in the US where this is stigmatised.

It's stigmatized for good reason. The amount of abuse within the pornography industry is immense. Anyone with any decent of ethics would refrain from consuming this material.

>>Anyone with any decent of ethics would refrain from consuming this material.

What, like....all porn? There are plenty of amateur couples who upload incredibly tender, loving and respectful videos of their love life to PH. Why are you bundling everything together with the exploitative stuff?

Just looking at the front page of Pornhub right now:

"Stepmother and son share a bed in a hotel"

"Fake taxi Bengali nurse takes a big cock in her tight Asian pussy"

"Petite blonde whore opening her ass for me to demolish"

You want children watching this?

Every one of your responses fails to actually engage with the comment you're responding to. You're directly missing the point here. You should not create alts just to engage in low-effort argumentation.

No but I as a parent have the responsibility to monitor and decide what my children see and don't not the state. freedom of expression is a guaranteed right and onerous laws like this are just a end-run around anti-censorship laws just as much as the think of the children claim is a end-run around rational thought.

You think this law will change who watches this?

This is the "I buy from a local farmer raising their own cows" argument that people use to say eating beef is fine.

The local cow that you knew (and will eat half of), and the couples having a good time on video are not the majority by a long shot. It's a fig leaf that, at times, is grounded in reality, but often isn't what people are consuming.

They're bundled together because that's the majority of consumption. I'm not going to shame people for it; hell, I had a hamburger yesterday. That's simply what the majority pay for - the product that's created in an environment lots of people aren't comfortable talking about, and generally don't want to see.

Does it make sense use the abuse within the porn industry to defend this when a lot of porn these days comes from individual creators? OnlyFans seems to be huge and I just checked PornHub's front page, of the 3 first rows, only 3 videos out of 12 seem to be from the "industry".

Or.... "The amount of abuse within the [phone manufacturing, shoe manufacturing, textile manufacturing, palm oil harvesting, lithium mining, etc.] industry is immense. Anyone with any decent of ethics would refrain from consuming these products."
Re:Pornhub Pulls Out of Nebraska by tennisflyi on Friday July 19, 2024 @05:04PM (#41011214)
Disagree. Industry porn isn’t perfect but real abuse comes from content that is sexual but not porn with a 2257 and consent/a “no list”
Re:Pornhub Pulls Out of Nebraska by EnergyAmy on Friday July 19, 2024 @04:51PM (#41011057)
The amount of abuse within tech companies is immense. Should we shut down the tech industry?

Please, get off your high horse.

One of my friends worked in this for a while for a major studio (not as an actress by the way) and she didn't see any sign of it. Everyone was quite happy, the atmosphere was relaxed. They'd rent big villas for the shoot and go skinny dipping in the pool after, she said it was lots of fun.

And no the actors really aren't all stepbrothers/sisters :)

I mean I don't want to be responsible for keeping a bunch of people's photo IDs secure either. What does that say about my leadership and motives?
Re:Pornhub Pulls Out of Nebraska by wkat4242 on Friday July 19, 2024 @04:30PM (#41010815)
And what point is there to even give a website photo ID? How will they validate your face? They have no need for the photo.
Re:Pornhub Pulls Out of Nebraska by RavingGoat on Friday July 19, 2024 @04:43PM (#41010966)
It would be trivial to create a fake photo id site to generate files to upload.
Re:Pornhub Pulls Out of Nebraska by shrimp_emoji on Friday July 19, 2024 @04:26PM (#41010755)
Yeah, it says a lot of good.

You can't do it without turning your site into a panoptical dystopia where even more of your personal data ends up with the NSA, third party data brokers, or hackers on the darknet. None of that's worth people's silly moralism to me.

Re:Pornhub Pulls Out of Nebraska by mcphage on Friday July 19, 2024 @10:07PM (#41013409)
What is it you feel that it says about their leadership and their motives?
