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

As of this week, half of the states in the U.S. are under restrictive age verification laws that require adults to hand over their biometric and personal identification to access legal porn.

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.

    Everyone who ever submits for age verification will have their information stolen. It is a matter of when, not if.

      I mean, a VPN is way cheaper than whatever hoops Idaho wants you to jump through to watch some 10/10 goth hottie get their ass eaten.

        States are also considering banning VPNs now as well. This will never work and is a horrible idea, but it’s being considered.
