House Bill 1181 enforces a $10,000 daily penalty for platforms that fail to confirm users’ age. Pornhub, among others, made futile attempts to prevent the bill from taking effect.
Instead of complying, Pornhub will now be disabled for the entire state of Texas. 🙌
Seven states so far have in place age verification measures now.
Why does PornHub want minors to have access its pornographic content?
Who’s the owner of Pornhub?
Very quickly you begin to realize their intention is to destroy the minds of youths.

I’ve voted libertarian and trump only, ever. Texas is wrong, I may vote democrat in Texas, far too much overreach. Protect your own children, not the states job.
Do you agree that you have to confirm your age to access alcohol websites? Tobacco websites? What about age confirmation to purchase products through those sites? Porn is a free product and I find it very odd that a measure of protecting youth from it is "overreach" to you.
I grew up in the Limewire days and suffered from a porn addiction for over a decade- that started when I was only 13. It eventually made me almost completely emotionless around my wife and I wasted so much of my free time with a secret fix that I could've done so much more with. It is probably the most challenging addiction to overcome because you don't have to drive to a store or meet someone in a back alley to get it- its literally right at your fingertips every second of every day. I want nothing more than for my son to stay as far away from it as he can when he gets older because I know what the consequences are. No matter how "well" you parent, kids get curious, kids are peer-pressured and kids have to deal with hormonal changes. I would be for outlawing porn entirely.
Take it from someone who has been there- someone who struggles every day STILL with it. You didn't even offer a solution in place of the "overreach". Your comment makes you sound like a pedo-sympathizer.
The thing that saved me was understanding that: "If something is free, YOU ARE THE PRODUCT."
There are a bunch of Satanist pedos who are obsessed with ruining God's sacred gift of sex to a marriage, and they want nothing more than for us to be obsessed with dopamine hits instead of real love.
You love porn that much youd vote Democrat, huh? You think conservative overreach is bad, have u seen the demonrats lol This porn crap is part of their plan to destroy the west, destroy families & marriages and destroy men (females to a degree to). Im not for government overreach either however all things marxist must be removed from our culture in order to restore this nation.
Alright , get mad, I don’t care. My brain always sees the larger picture and republicans are just as wrong as democrats when you go to the edges. Define your own values, raise your family the right way, but don’t use the power of government to do it and enforce your morals on others. Here, I’m your side, have been red-pilled far longer than you, I’m certain. Marxist is government centralizing the power. Freedom is dispersing it to the people. What is this?
The argument is that porn shouldn't be a right. You know women are raped kidnapped and trafficked to make porn videos that then make money? It's like watching someone get murdered and their life unravel. Individual liberty and freedom aside this should not even be a product.
Liberty and freedom are never put aside. I remain unconvinced and sounds like a straw man.
Im not mad at you and you are not a troll like we get on here, but porn is not good. Ive been down that road. Its bad. Im all about freedom, however the damage that's been done to our society and culture is not something thst can be fixed by the "to each their own mentality". We are too far gone for that. You can see the damage in all the young kids being sexual at seemingly younger and younger ages. We are not fixing this ourselves without uncle sam putting them back into the shadows like it used to be.
Is murder moral? Is rape moral? Is theft moral? By this logic, why have a government in the first place?.. just disperse that freedom to the people and let them do what they want!
Next you'll start talking about YOUR truth. Maybe you SHOULD vote Democrat...
I can get behind your idea to "disperse that freedom to the people and let them do what they want" because the government in the US right now isn't working for good people. But I understand the spirit of what you're conveying and believe your intent is in the right place.
All it takes to flip a coomer to the death cult is make their coom material slightly more difficult to access.
I don’t agree with any of y’all - do you have children? You need to take a stand one way or the other.
