New Law Rubs Pornhub Out of Mississippi

Pornhub announced on social media it is um, pulling out of Mississippi: 

If you haven't heard, elected officials around the United States have started to introduce laws aimed at preventing children from accessing material harmful to minors online. 

This is great. We've supported this for years. We believe that any law to this effect must preserve user safety and privacy and must effectively protect children from accessing content intended for adults. 

Unfortunately, the way many elected officials have chosen to implement these laws is haphazard and dangerous. Here's the problem: 

A number of states, including Virginia and Mississippi effective July 1, are requiring mandatory age verification of users, but they are not regulating the enforcement of these laws. So that means adult platforms can choose whether or not to comply. Responsible platforms will follow the law. Irresponsible platforms won't. 

We already saw how this scenario plays out. When a similar law was enacted in Louisiana in January, Pornhub was one of the few sites to comply. Since then, our traffic in Louisiana dropped approximately 80 percent. These people did not stop looking for porn. They just migrated to other 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. 

We have made the difficult decision to fully block our site in Virginia and Mississippi, as we have also recently done in Utah. We are sorry to let our loyal visitors in these states down but have opted to comply with the newly effective law in this way because it is ineffective and worse, will put both user privacy and children at risk. 

The only solution that makes the internet safer, preserves user privacy and stands to prevent children from accessing adult content is performing age verification at the source: on the device. Many devices already offer free and easy-to-use parental control features that can prevent children from accessing adult content without risking the disclosure of sensitive user data. The safety of our users is our number one concern. That is why we are taking this important step to protect the users that our elected officials have chosen to endanger.

This is a hard position to be in. You can't regulate morality, and I am a hard core Republican. I also like to drink liquor, use tobacco, and look at titties on the interwebs. The doo gooders(in public) in the state's chambers need to get their paws off my ipad.

This is an exceptionally stupid, totally performative law. Prohibition never works. It only drives whatever you try to prohibit underground.

Pornhub will be one of a handful of sites to either require age ID or block traffic in the state. That's ironic, since it's one of the only sites that actually polices content to avoid things like child pornography.

Countless thousands of other porn sites will totally ignore the law. Twitter will be exempt because, despite having more porn than any other site on the internet, the law doesn't apply to it. And even Pornhub won't really be blocked in Mississippi, since Utah saw a huge spike in searches for VPNs after its law went into effect.

Strange how Republicans trust parents to decide what books are allowed in public school libraries, but don't trust them to turn on the filters on their kids' phones.

And let's be real: half the people in your Sunday school class watch porn from time to time. So do elderly people and disabled folks who have no other options. None of them should have to hand over their driver's license to a website to do that.

And they won't have to. This law will be widely ignored. Kids will get porn from sources you can't even imagine yet and the Jerry Falwell crowd will get a totally meaningless, symbolic victory in the culture war.

Anonymous said...

So how are users supposed to verify their age on these websites? Do the republicans want citizens to photocopy their government id and send it to all the porn sites they visit? I can’t imagine they would be that stupid, but they are pretty dumb so who knows.

Anonymous said...

Our naive legislators are just virtue signalling while being hypocrits. Responsible parents can block porn on their kid's computer with software that is readily available.

Regardless, pleasuring to a Playboy magazine is so 1980s.

I've never heard of VPN or Porn Hub. But, as a member of the church, such things probably don't interest me.

There are court-supported rules (laws) that restrict what we can look at. Not sure how that's constitutional but is seems to be.

By the year 2044, science will have created ways for the constabulary to know what we THINK and certain thoughts will also be illegal.

Retired computer guy, here. Proton VPN is a good free VPN to use. Google it & go to the Proton website, pick to install the free version. Turn on your Windows VPN service, install the free Proton VPN, and pick from Proton servers in Japan, France, or the Netherlands. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.

Using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) is good internet practice for every user. You should always use it, all the time. It encrypts the body of your requests to servers and encrypts the body of the server's response. If you are banking, shopping, or paying for anything with a credit or debit card online, VPN encrypts that information & the response. It does not encrypt the address of your PC or the address of who you are communicating with (your bank, for example). But, a snoop can only see who is talking to whom, not what is being said. For instance, if you use a VPN at work and visit a porn site, your boss' IT guy can see that you visited a porn site.

What this is REALLY about, is providing an excuse for OUTLAWING VPNs. Bit by bit, our ability to search for ANYTHING, freely and anonymously, is being eliminated. And our ability to SAY what we want, freely and possibly anonymously, will be no more.

How many of us were able to avoid a certain "novel medical intervention", during the past few years, because we were able to search for the truth about it, and because others were able to share the truth.

Next "pandemic", next election, next move to turn us into virtual serfs, we may not be so lucky.

I’m not looking for an argument but the phrase, “we can’t regulate morality” is untrue. Morality has been regulated since the first government was created. Laws dealing with behavior (which is often morally based) are a necessity. Taking the phrase on its face, one would conclude we cannot regulate murder which we clearly can.

The real problem isn't that a legislature in (insert state here) wasted time by attempted to ban or even regulate porn viewing, the real problem is that there are enough members in each of them so technologically uninformed and uneducated who believe their constituents believe it could be done and that there are actually any of their constituents who do believe such utter nonsense. "Next, we're gonna ban hacking and shootings, control drugs, and prevent littering with laws!"

Observers will note the wild successes legislatures have had with such things as "Prohibition"/Volsted Act/ 18th, outlawing drugs, homosexual acts and selling sex, "gun control," etc., etc., etc.

Well done Legislature! These "can't legislate/regulate morality" people need to move on. By your logic murder and theft should be legal because after all we "can't legislate morality!"

Is it the "can't legislate morality" crowd's position that children should have easy access to pornography because alcohol/tobacco something, something, something...?

Maybe if our legislature passed a law that made it illegal for juveniles to shoot someone violent crime would significantly drop.

I am the commentor with the "you can't regulate morality" comment. What I meant by that is that you can pass all the laws you want to, but if a person needs a "fix" to whatever is trying to be regulated, be it porn, tobacco, alcohol, pills, murder, theft, etc., they will find a way to get it. Look at Sudafed, did it stop meth? Look at gun laws, do they stop murder? Look at the 21 age restriction on alcohol and 18 on tobacco, are kids still getting drunk and smoking? Yes. Same with this. It's a feel-good law, that at the end of the day, will do nothing.

9:40 am Crack addicts are going to get their fix. Great observation! Let's make crack legal and sell it in vending machines because "they will find a way to get it" anyway. Might as well make it easy for them.

Teenagers still drink and smoke cigarettes. Great observation! Let's sell them in vending machines in schools because "they will find a way to get it."

Your logic is exactly backwards. Laws don't stop lawbreakers, but they do deter them. Is it really your argument that teenage drinking and smoking are completely ineffective in deterring these activities? Is it really your argument that laws against murder have no impact against murders committed?

Also, please don't double down on red herrings. "Gun laws" "alcohol" "tobacco" "sudafed" etc. The issue is widespread access to pornography to kids.

Murder and theft are mala in se (wrong in itself), whereas watching "pornography," which has existed for the entirety of recorded history (even the word's etymology indicates its ancient origins AND addresses the malum prohibitum issue of prostitution), is malum prohibitum (wrong (only) by law, with no question any particular definition(s) of "morality" involved). Rape is another example of malum in se, whereas things like going over whatever speed limit might be set, arbitrary drinking, smoking, voting, consent, disability of minority, etc. are all examples of mala prohibita. In very simple terms, there is a general, worldwide, and universal consensus that murder, theft, rape is wrong, regardless of the existence of specific codified laws whereas there is little or no consensus, even within a single political entity, as to mala prohibita. It is true that many laws creating malum prohibitum crimes have reasonable theoretical support in general terms, i.e., traffic laws and consumption laws; no rational person would suggest there should be no traffic laws nor would suggest that 5 year olds should be allowed to buy alcohol and tobacco.

That said, however, this isn't a question of making "pornography" illegal, it is a question of access to it by those below and above an arbitrary age, which touches upon the very essence of malum prohibitum. I would argue that it removes any and all aspects of malum in se because it doesn't even attempt to make "pornography" illegal, it simply sets a prohibition based upon a purely arbitrary age, i.e., it would be preposterous to suggest that is "immoral" for someone, or to allow someone, 17 years and 360 days to view it but perfectly moral for someone 18 years and 1 day to view it, just as it is to suggest that such an age differential transforms the consumption of alcohol or tobacco from immoral to moral. Put another way, the now-widely applied choice in certain societal groups of 18 or 21 for majority (being a legal adult) is a relatively modern and arbitrary idea and moreover, it is wildly inconsistent even within most political subdivisions - consent, voting, drinking, tobacco, etc., etc. aren't consistent within Mississippi.

I think that many of those posting, need to read Uta Ranke-Heinemann's 'Eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven'. The book traces the origins of SEXUAL PESSIMISM.

Making people afraid and ashamed of sex, was a tool for subjugating and enslaving them. Making into a sin, something which everyone does, is a way of introducing fear into the lives of everyone. You can control/subjugate/enslave whole populations, that way. Intrusive government and intrusive religion, can move-in, to "save" people from their "sin".

Today, of course, we also have those who want to "save" us from viruses, and "save" us from "Global Warming", and "save" us from eating red meat. But in backward places, there are still those wanting to grab control by offering to "save" people from seeing naked bodies.

11:18am humorously uses Latin phrases in an appeal to sounding egeekated about logic. He thinks that murder and theft are mala in se because he says so whereas pornography malum prohibitum also because he says so. It's nice to be able to define terms in a way that fit your worldview. He suggests that pornography for children is only wrong because a law was put in place that makes it wrong. It's just an arbitrary thing, don't you know? If there was no law against pornography it pornography would not be wrong! Kids should watch in kindergarten! Thank you for breaking it down for me in simple terms!

I'm not as concerned with the youths that are bound and determined to see this stuff. It's the kids who don't even know what they are clicking into and will be scarred for life. There needs to be a sensible filter or buffer zone. Not just an AR-15 fully loaded, safety off on the kitchen counter next to the cookie jar.

3:07 never in the history of the internet, have I ever been casually strolling along on the internet and got redirected to a pornhub or other porn website. Now I have searched certain key words, or phrases, and gotten exactly what I am looking for. If a kid is searching for it, he/she/it/they/them, etc, they know it's out there and looking for it. I can goggle penis, penis, penis...vagina, vagina, vagina and get more hits from MD Anderson and other clinical sources than porn websites slapping me in the face. What you mean to say you are afraid to admit "innocent" kids are searching for it and finding it. If your kids are clicking into something that will scar them for life, maybe those kids are not responsible enough for the internet, or the parents need to use some parental controls. If you have porn websites popping up or are able to browse them easily, you are already searching for them or searching dangerously close to them, or in some sketchy placed on the ole www.

July 6, 2023 at 4:19 PM - You lead a very sheltered internet life. It is ridiculously easy for kids to go down the rabbit hole online without restrictions. When my kids were younger, the schools required them to do homework and research online. So, I made adjustments to the router/switch to limit their devices, flexibility, and time online (no, I'm not an IT geek). Otherwise, with browser filtering off, something as simple as a girl's name can take you to sites displaying nudity. The other threat is that when clicked on, these images can install malware on the PC that then spreads to your network. This law has just tackled a handful (no pun) of porn sites, but there is an unlimited supply out there.

Anonymous said...

Even if you ignore the porn aspect completely, this is just a hilarious example of how badly out of touch legislators are with technological reality.

There are MILLIONS of porn sites on the internet. Most are housed in foreign countries, have no US assets, and therefore don't give a damn what laws some local legislature makes. They will NEVER require drivers licenses or any other ID.

None of them are hard to find. Your twelve year old son HAS searched Google for a handful of bawdy words and found dozens of porn sites. He knows how to turn off Safe Search and he knows how Incognito mode works.

And it's not just Google. You can't scroll through Twitter comments (on totally innocent posts about sports and memes) in the post-Elon era without finding multiple women offering nude photos and videos of themselves.

Nothing in this law is adding a single second to how long it takes your teenage kid to find porn. Not. One. Single. Second. It's also not affecting how "hardcore" what they find is. EVERYTHING is hardcore, or links directly to hardcore stuff. No work, creativity, or knowledge is required to find it.

No law that could ever be passed outside China or North Korea could ever accomplish any of these things.

This law is for one group: Technologically illiterate religious conservatives over 50 who want to be patted on the head, given a placebo, and told, "Yes grandma, we passed a law about the porn. That's right, now the grandkids won't be able to get to it."

Anonymous said...

One - everyone who had to go over to Pornhub just to see what happened, raise your hand…
Two - Tumblr, Reddit and even Twitter have porn all day long. It’s not going away, folks will just access it from a different direction. Three - as for wanting people to enter government IDs every time they access such websites - this may get interesting, a whole new level of identity theft that, I suspect, won’t be covered by those ID Lock folks.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
