Just make sure to display a front page for Floridians listing the names of those who are to blame for this ruling.

Really not the reason I log into pornhub

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Probably not anyones reason to do that. But imagine Floridians opening it and seeing two things: a) no porn and b) the idiots who are the reason for no porn. Even Floridians might be able to draw a line between those two things.

Louisiana was the first state to pass an ID law like this. When it happened last year, Pornhub complied. It said its traffic fell 80 percent in the state. “These people did not stop looking for porn. They just migrated to darker 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. In practice, the laws have just made the internet more dangerous for adults and children"

Plus it's a privacy nightmare.

Jokes on them, pulling out is not a safe method against conception. They would need to pull a condom over Florida if they were serious.

Just cut Florida off completely

There are times when a Floridectomy is the right choice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Am Floridian. I support.
Cut off Texas too, they've already been trying for years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Am also from Florida. She had a good run. Time to scuttle it.

Climate change is going to take care of that soon enough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Both. Do both.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'm confused, if Pornhub is the one pulling out, what good does a condom on Florida do?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

over the head, in this case

Female condoms exist, though?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

There are dozens of them sold every year

We would like to thank this law's sponsor, NordVPN. -- Florida's GOP

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Don't promote terrible VPNs. Mullvad*

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The GOP are bad people and should not be in charge of anything.

Bold statement, on Lemmy. Would anyone disagree with that here?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

there are some bots on lemmy, yes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

You only need to listen to them for a few minutes to realize how evil and extremely ignorant these people are:

Awesome! Expect a significant decline in step-siomehing narratives.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I sincerely doubt it.

the subtitle is even funnier than the title

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Yeah, but they're still going to jizz all over its ass

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Genuinely curious to know if their numbers are going down as a result or if people are just piling into VPNs to use porn.

I had one already for... uh... safe and legal downloads of movies/shows I definitely already own. But I have to assume this is cutting into the audience to some degree.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

PH's traffic will likely go down, but other sites that don't follow the law will just go up.

Like you can just click the 3rd result and that one will probably work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago
