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.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Female condoms exist, though?

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

There are dozens of them sold every year

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Good point.

over the head, in this case

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.

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

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Don't promote terrible VPNs. Mullvad*

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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

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

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

there are some bots on lemmy, yes

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Lmaaoo I'm sure my dad is pissed.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really not the reason I log into pornhub

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year 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.

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

the subtitle is even funnier than the title

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

I sincerely doubt it.

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.

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year 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.

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

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Are we not doing "phrasing" anymore?!

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I see, pulling out as in pulling out the penis from the vagina prior to ejaculation

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I thought that had a while category related to pulling out

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At least I can still legally cum to pornhub!

[–] VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Until project 2025 changes things federally

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then I will cum illegally.
