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.

Is there any organized fight against this? I feel like open access to porn is something people can get behind (pun intended).

People could literally put porn in everything until it's reversed and put their red state into porn overload. They could slip porn between the pages of the newspaper,or drop a copy of bad babysitters 5 in every DVD player in best buy at the same time. They could mass mail stills from 2 girls 1 cup, goetse, and blue waffle to their Congress people. They can wear the raunchiest t-shirts they can find and pack a town hall. These assholes already created a climate where woman are (understandably) even more afraid to have sex, now they want to lock down porn too. I'm not a degenerate because I watch porn; I'm a degenerate because I in ironically enjoyed Spongknob Squarenuts. But degenerate or not, I believe freedom of inquiry is important and I want to know exactly what she If you are gonna strip people of their economic output, abuse workers, stifle culture and art, etc, you at least have to give people a blowoff valve somehow. Reading the Bible after a double shift at work isn't gonna get anyone hard except maybe JD Vance and it probably still comes second to furniture warehouse ads.

Fuck these assholes.

Soooooo, 0 dvd players? Best Buy stopped carrying physical media years ago.

Online doesn't count since you can't drop a dvd into one...

Best buy stopped carrying physical media in stores ages ago and outside of very out of date stores don't have display models like that anymore.

As someone who hasn't been in a Best Buy in over 15 years... What the fuck do they sell then?

Consumer electronics / appliances?

The one near me got torn down this year...so not a whole lot I guess.

Computer hardware & accessories, networking equipment, and appliances. Physical media and hatdware specifically for playing it has been on a decline because of the prevalence of streaming.

Organized? You mean like The Pirate Bay? We have had the tools for decades, my friend.
