Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn (www.404media.co)

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.

Dude, I thought we were just out here making jokes and you come through with whatever that was.

Hey, give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he's never interacted with humans before.

It was a joke. A bad one..but a joke.

Hey, part of growing and learning is understanding that failure is only a step in the process. Keep at it, brother. When making jokes, I always try to remember this: "If you're going to be offensive, make sure you are more funny than you are offensive. Just being offensive isn't funny."

Now get back in there and make some god damn jokes.
