There are a couple of states that have banned porn... or at least require "ID verification" to access it (completely stupid btw). I'm pretty sure we all know that doing so doesn't help anything. Why does it keep happening?
There was a site called nullchan that is now gone because the Admins ISP forced him to shut it down. It was just an average forum/ shock site, no different from 4chan really. Even if a state bans porn, there are so many third party, jank ass porn sites that there's usually a couple that work within the state, and even in "professional settings". Then there's VPN usage as well, and since VPNs have become so popular the IP's of the VPN servers are getting easier to filter out (making it necessary to pay premiums for more "discreet" servers). This is nothing but some duct-tape on a gaping hole in the bottom of a ship.

So annoying
I agree that very young people shouldn‘t spend hours on porn sites but there will always be ways to get access to porn

Awful idea. Land of the free huh.

I understand that the consumption of porn isn't the healthiest thing in the world, but I just don't believe it's the government's place to dictate if it should be consumed. ID verification will come with a myriad of problems, to include privacy.

All that requiring an ID does is make viewing porn either more annoying, because you have to use a VPN which slows things down (at least in my experience), or less safe, because you have to use sites jankier/less trusted sites. I did manage to find a site that was acceptable for my purposes that didn't require a VPN to use, but it's still significantly inferior to what I had been using. I'm an adult, just in case that was in question, lol, but my preferred sites just decided to IP ban everybody from my state instead of trying to implement an ID based age verification system (which would be a security nightmare, TBH)
