Pornhub goes dark in Arkansas after age verification law kicks in
theverge.com
Pornhub blocked all users in Arkansas after the state's new age verification law went into effect on Tuesday. The law requires porn sites to verify that users are at least 18 years old. Pornhub argued that requiring ID verification actually harms users' privacy and puts children at risk. MindGeek, Pornhub's operator, has decided to block access from states with similar age verification laws. After complying with a similar law in Louisiana, Pornhub traffic dropped by 80%, so they decided blocking access entirely was preferable to implementing age verification.
States they have blocked for similar laws: Virginia, Utah, Mississippi.
In Louisiana the first state to do this they tried to comply and their traffic decreased by 80%.

Well if you live in Arkansas it wasn’t your neighbor watching porn.
Some dude is marking up his vhs collection for a tidy profit.
Mmm Analog Porn. I'd say HiFi, but as a kid, I, uhh, "accidentally" stumbled upon my dad's porn VHSs. They were anything but HiFi.
I assume it’s all classic, traditionally rooted porn aligned with good ol’ day family values so it should be fine for them.
Nor was the one I found - at least not after I lugged the second VCR out of my room to make a copy.
