PornHub Activism

[Devout Muslim]

What do you guys think about PornHub geo-blocking Texas in response to the requirement for additional age-verification?

Personally, I’ve seen a lot of people support PornHub. However, their move seems activistic in nature, which goes against everything I was raised to believe Democracy entailed.

As per the attached image, their justification is primarily moralistic. They are not pulling out because implementing such measures is impractical (as may be the case for a site such as kiwifarms). Instead, they are pulling out because they think age-verification on their site will a) impede Texan’s access to free speech on PornHub and b) increase the number of Texan’s who access porn on less sanitised websites, which may contain revenge-porn or child porn. Texan’s are objectively worse off on these metrics with no PornHub than an age-restricted PornHub. Therefore, we can conclude this is activism plain and simple.

Obviously as a privately-owned foreign company, they have no vested interest in the welfare of Texans. On the other hand, they have significant vested interest in the profitability of their own company. These laws negatively impact their profitability for a number of reasons. By taking their ball and going home, they have done two things:

1. Punished Texans
2. Warned other states not to cross them (e.g. Florida)

I always thought it was generally accepted that corporations, especially privately owned ones, should be kept out of politics. Yet, nobody seems to care. Shouldn’t people be outraged by this behaviour?

Please refrain from comments on whether the law is good / bad as there’s another thread for that discussion.

I'll summarise the next ten pages "Jews Jews Jews Kikes NiggerFaggots Blacked Jews".

More seriously, it's bad enough how many websites already require private information to access, no need to increase it, especially with the amount of dirt that those porn websites will hold on degenerates. And it's not like this will help prevent minors from accessing porn, or be groomed. Ban discord and tiktok which are far more harmful.

That’s fundamentally irrelevant to the question of whether they should protest the law by pulling out entirely.

Didn't PH block users who opposed some pro-LGBGTQWERTYUIOP+++ bill?

 

[Otis Mallebrok]

Total Coomer Death. Pornhub must be nuked, and everyone involved reduced to granulate.

 

[Anne Hathaway Fan]

People will get what they want regardless. It's not as if pornhub is the only game in town.

Last time I visited, PH had two options. Transgender or Everything.

which may contain revenge-porn or child porn.

Wasn't it revealed that there's only one moderator for the site and they only review something if there's a noticeable mass flagging on a video? Let's not forget all employee's being secretly recorded in discussions. There are massive loop holes that they know human traffickers use to generate content without being found out and are perfectly fine with it. They openly talk about how they want young children to view their material and see it as an educational experience, not as harmful content for children. Any claim by them about being less sanitized than other sites is thus false.

This is retarded for several reasons. This sets a precedent for an actual internet license. Imagine needing a license to access this site or having to upload your state ID to use a simple forum. The left feels the same way about racism and everything else that the moral fags feel about porn.

Porn doesn't find kids on the internet. Kids find porn. I imagine if your "kid" is old enough to look up porn on the internet they are probably teenagers and not kids. They are going to seek out porn anyway because they are horny teenagers with no outlet for their sexual urges other than porn. If you don't want your "kids" looking at porn then stop being a lazy fuck and do your job as parent. Stop letting the family computer a phone tablet or whatever else babysit your kid. Do something with your fucking "kids". Porn is not jumping off the screen into your "kids" face and eyes. They have to look for it. If your "kid" is looking for big bimbo tits or milfs with big asses then they aren't really kids. You could always do what the Boomers did to Beavis and Butthead. Tell them that if they watch porn they will never score. They won't anyway and will end up jerking off to porn.

I don't understand what the moral fags are doing. It's like these stupid Boomer tier fucks want to take us back to the Boomer times when you had no porn and all the Boomers were so horny they would hump a fucking stump. That's how Boomers ended up in miserable marriages with fat bitches and ugly bitches. All porn does is keep men from making really bad life choices. That's all it does. It doesn't do anything else. All the normal people that can handle porn shouldn't be punished because a small number of nigger tier assholes can't keep their hands off their dicks for a minute.

We have women on the fucking run here. They are being defeated. Porn is an important weapon against them. With porn women can no longer use sex as a weapon against men. Men no longer have to put up with any of their stupid shit just to fucking get off. All those videos of women sitting around complaining bitching and whining about how men aren't putting up with their stupid shit anymore. Porn helped make that a possibility. It won't take much longer and the bitches will break. Buuut if a bunch Boomer tier moral fag dumbfucks go after porn all they will do is give women their power back. These moral fags are some of the biggest faggot cuck simps alive.

Remember kids, if an industry built on lust has 4 of their most prominent actors die by suicide, drug overdosing, or other self-harm methods all within a few months, then it's probably not a good industry.

 

[Montalbane]

Porn is totally healthy.
Which is why performers drop like flies or are costantly overmedicated and drugged to the tits.

wishful thinking lol
as long as they are allowed to do it, they will keep doing it

 

[WhiskeyJack]

I mean, Pornhub already killed itself quite some time ago. Far as I can see, Google Video Search is the most popular porn site and that hasn't been banned in Texas. Who still visits Pornhub in this day and age?

 

[Buck Breaking SS]

Imagine watching two people bump their genitals ew

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

It's fine for the government to take sweeping, unilateral anti-privacy actions as long as they super duper stinky pinky swear to only use them against people I personally don't like.

 

[Beautiful Border]

I remember the UK was widely ridiculed when similar proposals were made there, lots of memes about "porn passes" and the like. This is the sort of thing you'd expect from an authoritarian state, so how is this happening in Texas, a place which has seemingly no defining characteristics other than how "free" it supposedly is?

So in general you’re OK with large multinationals using their power and influence to pressure states into passing legislation favourable to their financial interests? It’s not just because in this case PornHub is doing it against somebody you don’t like?
