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

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.

    Wow, COMPLETELY miss the point, why don’t you? It’s not about the kids, you moron, they’re using the kids as an excuse to oppress the rest of us.

    And your reaction - Ah, the kids will be fine - is exactly what they’re hoping for. You will permanently surrender the privacy of every person on the Internet, just because some parents don’t feel like doing their jobs as parents.
