Louisiana now requires a government ID to access Pornhub

This is terrible for incels that need porn to relieve sexual frustration. 🙁

So right wingers are hypocrites? Freedom for me but not for thee? I’m shocked I tell you, shocked!

I agree, it's a recipe for creating more school shooters.

You should research a little more before making this statement. Google "state that views the most pornography". Read more than the headlines and read entire articles. Your claim is based on a 2009 study that looked at just subscription porn, not free porn. Some studies have shown Utah and other states in the top 10 while other studies show those same states in the bottom 10. Part of the reason is it can be hard to identify what is or isn't pornographic. Heck, even SCOTUS has struggled with defining porn. Justice Potter Stewart famously said "I know it when I see it." but that hardly is a hard and fast (pun intended) definition.

If minors are able to view porn online, it's their own parents who have enabled and consented to it. IDK why we're more concerned with minors seeing naked bodies and coitus, something quite natural for all humans, than we are with them seeing violence and killing.

The viewing of porn vs violence is very different imo. You become a much more active participant in the former. You would tell a horny person to watch porn to relieve themselves but you wouldn’t tell a violent person to watch violent movies to get their fix. Being a participant in a virtual sexual act is definitely not natural.

restored.

The law applies to everyone so your comment is off the mark. A hypocrite would be a person who makes a rule that masks must be worn on all federal properties and then appears later that day maskless on federal property. Or a person who runs for political office as an anti-abortion candidate but has paid for two abortions. Plenty of examples of people from all political perspectives being hypocrites but this law isn't one of them.

I assume its constitutional.

Minors have very limited rights.

I couldn't go buy porn as a kid. Legal adults still can't buy beer until their 21. But there isn't a digital record if you do.

I am going to that site now in solidarity!

Not sure if your first sentence is true in all cases or not. You could be 100% right but there are a few laws passed to protect children from the possible poor judgement of their own parents. A lot of states require children under a certain age to wear PFDs at all times while in a boat. This law could be seen as in infringement on parental control also but it's intended to protect children when their parents don't. Same can be said of this LA porn law.

As for the rest of your post, if you can't see the potential harm to children viewing the porn available online, which isn't just naked bodies and two loving adults expressing their love for each other, then I can't help you.

Will the result be young people moving to other states?

[Insert your own "brain drain / balls drain" joke here]

They'll just get VPNs. Not that hard to do and they can sell it on their parents as being for gaming or cybersecurity.

I see a wide gap between seatbelt laws and this. Even then, though wearing seatbelts is certainly sensible it's insurance companies using the government to overreach into people's private lives and decisions. This is religious zealots using the government in a similar fashion. I'm definitely preventing my kids from watching porn, but I'm not going to tell my neighbor how to raise his kids and I won't encourage government overreach to do the same.

The concept is viewing politicians' porn viewing habits is interesting. With a public records request you should be able to get this information. Obviously it only applies to politicians based in states that have this kind of law.

Have you considered the possibility of your kids going to visit kids whose parents allow pornography? We all like to think we know other people's kids'character but we really don't.

I'm not a fan of a lot of govt control either but some things make sense.

Good. Porn should be illegal as it very clearly exploits people and is generally unpleasant.

Grow up.

That solved the problem of mean leaving both types of establishments to join in with the animals. Drunken men, and sexual-oppressed churchmen.

Yeah, my kids will whip it out at their friends' homes when the porn comes on. I'll lean on my own kids' sensibility if not my ability to read parents and other kids.

Never mind that this whole thread is a free ad for pornhub to every high schooler and middle schooler visiting this site.
