Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn

Missouri’s age verification law, enacted on November 30, is the halfway mark for the sweep of age verification laws across the country.

As of this week, half of the states in the U.S. are under restrictive age verification laws that require adults to hand over their biometric and personal identification to access legal porn.

Missouri became the 25th state to enact its own age verification law on Sunday. As it’s done in multiple other states, Pornhub and its network of sister sites—some of the largest adult content platforms in the world—pulled service in Missouri, replacing their homepages with a video of performer Cherie DeVille speaking about the privacy risks and chilling effects of age verification.

That will protect the children, for sure.

If I lived in the US, I'd be far more concerned about sending my kids to school but whatever.

Also church. I wouldn't want them to get diddled by a pastor.

Sure, but that is more of a Christian church problem over a US one. There are plenty of cases where I'm from too, and also a few recent scandals with private Catholic school, so I'd tend to shit on the Vatican rather than the US on that particular one.

I just can't imagine thinking my children could get shot every time they go to school.

US Public Schools messed with me so much, partially contributed to my depression (amongst various other factors)

Damn, I'm sorry to hear. I have seen a couple of your posts around, and yeah, let's say I know this struggle.

It can get better, I hope it does for you.
