People in North Carolina and Montana can no longer access Pornhub without a VPN: https://www.404media.co/north-carolina-montana-pornhub-blocked-vpn/

I am not interested in porn, however this law bothers me.
There is a push to have the same law in Canada. I am very concerned about the request for harvesting personal identification. There has to be a way of protecting minors without invading a person's privacy.

@Snowshadow people in these states can now access porn with a simple 50-step process: https://www.vice.com/en/article/z3mnqx/utah-age-verification-pornhub-xhamster-laws

(yikes)

I as able to read the headline but then I was blocked because I use a VPN! LOL. I *always* use a VPN. Ironic, eh?
Anyway...Having to show a photo of your face? Talk about invasion of privacy! I don't use the facial recognition security feature on my phone because I won't take the risk in case someone hacks my phone.
Over cautious? Perhaps. Better safe than sorry.
