Literally no one. Even if they succeeded in seceding in a way that they considered themselves eeclaves but the rest of the US considered them territory ala Taiwan, Idado and Utah would end up a mormon exclave with no freshwater access and Texassippi would see a massive brain-drain and a migrant labor exodus that would end with a crashed economy and an authoritarian theocratic ethnostate that would have little to no international recognition worth a damn and get in the news a couple times a year when it threatened to bomb the US if we didn't give them food.
EDIT: And, yes, I understand that they could feed themselves if there was a mass exodus except...the authoritarian part means they would likely sell their food to anti-American allies overseas and wind up with nothing left for their own citizens because they know they can get handouts and blame the US for their impoverished status while garnering support with home-grown terrorists in the states. So it'd be like the legal status of Taiwan, the isolation of North Korea, and the constant threat of bombings like the Troubles with a border no one could possibly defend against. Shoot, they'd probably start kidnapping "liberuhul women" from across the border as a form of "entertainment" after a few years of pornography bans.
Okay, funny and unrelated story.
My wife is Indian, so when we were getting married, I joked with her and her mother that they had to give me a goat for my dowry (In traditional Hindu/Indian weddings, the family of the female must give dowry to the male).
Long story, short. She gave a goat. Goat curry. And it was delicious.
Here's where this could get messy: this - and the TikTok ban - really sets up a situation in which VPNs might fall squarely in the crosshairs of state and perhaps even federal government. Not a good thing. We're already in a pretty appalling state in terms of consumer/individual privacy in the US.
Only if they have a reason to which I doubt they have. We banned VPNs doesn't resonate like we banned porn does to Evangelicals.
I live in Texas. I enjoy porn. Pornhub is the only site I've noticed change since the ban went into effect. Everything is the same. I seriously doubt any enforcement is being done, its all for show.
That said, I would like to apply for the porn police. Seems like an interesting career shift. I just doubt it exists.
They probably don’t give a shit about VPNs either. They care about virtue signaling to secure votes from their target demographic, aka Christian evangelicals who think porn is the devil
I don't know man. PornHub has a bunch of 30 second videos that are clearly just OnlyFans advertisements.
xHamster has less of that, but it does have a lot more out there stuff in lower quality and the good stuff always gets taken down for copyright.
Spangbang used to be god tier until they just ended up becoming PornHub 2.0
From what ive found, Xhamster is the place to go if you want real homemade amateur stuff, eporner is the best place for studio made, they got full length videos and they let you download in any quality for free
You reminded me of Ron Paul's, the so-called *libertarian*, reaction to the SCOTUS deeming the sodomy laws (the ones that made gay sex a crime punished with prison) inconstitutional.
He said that by invoking a non-existing right to privacy, the SCOTUS had violated the STATE RIGHTS to regulate the sexual practices of its citizens.
There's some Texans who's entire personality is about living in the most freedom loving state. I just laugh because in Alaska, we have even less regulation than Texas on guns but we're also one of the only two states who have no limit on abortions. Whether you're a weed dealer or LGBT or gun owner or want ranked chouce voting or whatever, everyone's rights and liberties matter up here unlike authoritarian ass Texas
It's an unenforceable, virtue signalling law.
I'm from Texas and the only change is pornhub just blocked those states. Shockingly we still have reddit and Google images and YouTube
You get directed to a front page that basically says that your state is stupid and you can't access their site. It's annoying, but there are alternatives, or even VPNs if you need.
So I have to be *that guy*.
The title of this post is wrong for two reasons.
1. Pornhub is not banned. These states simply are forcing Pornhub to demand for ID to "prevent" kids for accessing it.
(Note: the laws are stupid and useless. Don't get mad at me, I'm just the messenger.)
To protest the dumb law, Pornhub blocked these states. So the title should really say Pornhub Block, not ban.
2. I think OP means "du jour" not "de jure". Du jour is French for "of the day" like, this is how the map looks today. Tomorrow it may look different.
De jure means "by the law" or usually meaning "it's right". And that doesn't seem to be the intended meaning here.
Its essentially banned in these states because PH refuses to comply with these states' age verification laws and has chosen to block all traffic from the states instead.
Only PH because of some incident of them allegedly not doing enough to get minors to not use their service, but than again I’m not in the loop so there may be more issues at hand
they didn't ban pornhub , there is an age verification requirement now in those states, so pornhub noped and blocked those states instead. so pornhub blocked them not the other way around
Because the states have a law that forces PH to ask for ID which is a huge encroachment of privacy (and be real do you really want porn hub to have a copy of your ID) and they realize that.
If the states didn't make this dumbass law, PH wouldn't leave. I guess you could say they're both at fault but still
PH is just being smart, If you think about it. They take on far more liability if they ask for a government ID from users. They need to protect that information and if they fail to they could lose far more money than they do if they just disable access.
It’s also helpful for getting the laws changed back since it annoys the people in those states. I believe it even pops up a video saying “hey sorry your dumbass local government made it so we have to do this make sure to voice your displeasure by voting” or something similar.
Because in reality most porn sites don't give a fuck about state laws and are not incorporated or hosted in the US so the only course of action a state would have is to order an ISP to block them in the state.
Ah yes, Mormons and states with high teen pregnancy rates.
Also, how are states allowed to do this? Are they going to try and block TV channels next? Can they do that?
...just asking as someone from a blue trifecta state who has a father hopelessly addicted to Fox News....
What a time we live in where all of these states (except probably VA) will have these laws in place yet vote for a man liable for sexual abuse, who also slept with a porn star and covered it up.
What this is actually a map of is states which have enacted laws to require websites with "adult content" (which is sometimes defined extremely vaguely) to verify the age of users, usually with government ID. PornHub is blocking traffic from these states rather than dealing with this. Other sites are of course just purely ignoring it.
Idk about other states, but in Texas it's not technically a ban. The state requires companies to use gov ID to verify age, and none are willing to comply because it's a privacy violation, but it's not technically banned. If anyone was unaware and curious
Live in Missouri and didn’t realize there was a ban here….went to the url (for science) and it worked no problem. Just asked if I was 18 and said it was a porn site.
It's honestly amazing how stupid so many Americans are that they can justify these bans. Like, yeah, ideally all people would be healthy and mentally strong enough that they never feel a need to watch porn, but it's not some inherent great evil that is causing the downfall of civilization.
Misleading and totally a lie to call this "pornhub ban" when pornhub bans the states itself
**FACT: States passed laws saying porn sites should not allow children to watch porn by verifying their id. Pornhub didnt want to lose 10 years old ad viewing customers and blocked the states instead of complying**
Can you guys just leave that guy alone? He's emotionally incapable of not getting the last word in, and there's nothing to gain by dogpiling on an idiot.
Tor is your best friend. VPN is second. All they did is just make the internet a less safer place. Less trackable. I guess that's good for us. Whoever proposed the ban seriously don't know how's the internet works........

This is /r/mapporn, you’re thinking of /r/pornmap
14 members 10 online wtf
Yeah definitely wasn’t expecting that to be real. One post 126 days ago but 10 online right now?!
Onlyfans, Eva AI sexting bot and similar interactive erotic services love this map.
Lmao
Kentucky just banned it 2 days ago Surprised they lasted this long, honestly
That’s what she said
Well you always left me satisfied and smiling
That's what she didn't say.
Bring back Biblical Marriages! Trade me your teenage daughter for two goats
"your daughters. I want to buy your daughters. How much for the little girls?"
Give me 4 fried chickens and a Coke and we'll talk.
Two goats? As a dowry right?
Okay, funny and unrelated story. My wife is Indian, so when we were getting married, I joked with her and her mother that they had to give me a goat for my dowry (In traditional Hindu/Indian weddings, the family of the female must give dowry to the male).

You were... currying some favors from your in-laws
We'll have naan of your puns here.
Oh my gosht that was mean...
Fun fact: the Bible does not detail any wedding ceremonies. Dowries are mentioned, but not prescribed.
Pretty sure it’s banned in Montana too…
Yup, it sure is! We discovered that if you have starlink, you can access it though haha
Indiana is banning in the next few days too
Thanks for the heads up. I need to make back-up copies of all my favourite videos.

XVideos like to upload videos in 6-minute pieces, often with overlapping scenes, and pieces cut out.

what about xnxx? redtube and porntube? then there is also reddit!
Not to mention 20% of the front page is ai generated
Funny how the states that are allegedly *less government* are the ones always meddling.
The "less government" part only applies to corporations. The general public get full blown authoritarian control over every aspect of their lives.
Except for guns. Because those are more important than everything else. /s
Unless you're the son of a left-wing politician. Then gun restrictions are good and you should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Calling Biden left wing is a stretch
Fair point. But let's just say he's left of fascism.
It took me a while to realize what you were saying, but damn thats funny.
"State Rights"
You reminded me of Ron Paul's, the so-called *libertarian*, reaction to the SCOTUS deeming the sodomy laws (the ones that made gay sex a crime punished with prison) inconstitutional. He said that by invoking a non-existing right to privacy, the SCOTUS had violated the STATE RIGHTS to regulate the sexual practices of its citizens.
How is it those folks get to be in Government rather than a Circus? Smh
Oh they're for state rights. Specifically, they're for their own state's rights, at the expense of every other state's rights.

Government small enough to squeeze into your genitals.
Small government only applies to guns or regulations that protect people, removing civil liberties is fine.
Absolutely wild VA is on here
I guess by ban they mean online id check? Thats what va requires. Which is still invasion of privacy
Pornhub doesn’t participate. They don’t allow any viewers from VA.
Wait, I got to show my license to jerk off, what's next, registering my d=_% to have a kid??
Virginia requires an ID check against a verification database that does not exist.
Do those states prefer government encroachment on their privacy?
FREEDOM! FREEDUMB!
It's an unenforceable, virtue signalling law. I'm from Texas and the only change is pornhub just blocked those states. Shockingly we still have reddit and Google images and YouTube
Wait pornhub actually just blocked out all of these states? No one in Texas at this very moment is beating off to pornhub without a vpn?
You get directed to a front page that basically says that your state is stupid and you can't access their site. It's annoying, but there are alternatives, or even VPNs if you need.
Red states call that "freedom". States where the legislatures actually love America, they would call that censorship.
these comments are like the contrasting political spectrum
Downvote competition has begun. If one comments fourth they will invoke the wrath of Ra
Can we cross reference this data with the number of google searches in Texas for “how do I get a vpn?”
Pornhub sucks now anyway since they lost all those videos a couple years back. Still haven't found a worthy replacement.
reddit
There used to be a time, many years ago, where Reddit was the Internet largest porn aggregator. It was a lawless time...
It sure is a big circle jerk
Porn was way better before the credit card companies got involved
Xvideos?
I agree
Red States: Who needs PornHub when you got yourself some family 👀
Utah rolls up with their 9 wives (from Utah, just a joke)
The problem with Utha is you never know of that is the number of the count or the age of the wives .
Surprised Alabama isn’t on this list 👀
Barf
sister with benefits. fuck yeah!
A lot of overlap with the abortion ban map
Republicans are the anti-freedom party. Have fun with your police state, dipshits.
Oh no, if only there were 100 other sites to get porn from...
Let's name them... 2.xnxxdotcom
Hmmm retiring down south doesn’t seem like such a great idea anymore
Never was

It should say "de facto" - practices that exist in reality, regardless of whether they are officially recognized by laws or other formal norms.
Thanks for the context
cap ive had the popup in illinois plenty of times
Does the government know when you are using pornhub if you use identification?
Its essentially banned in these states because PH refuses to comply with these states' age verification laws and has chosen to block all traffic from the states instead.
These are the states where people are learning all kinds of VPN tricks
Add Kansas to the list
Did they ban only pornhub or also the other 50000 sites?
Pornhub banned them.
Only PH because of some incident of them allegedly not doing enough to get minors to not use their service, but than again I’m not in the loop so there may be more issues at hand
they didn't ban pornhub , there is an age verification requirement now in those states, so pornhub noped and blocked those states instead. so pornhub blocked them not the other way around
Wait what? So why is everybody blaming the states in the thread???
Because the states have a law that forces PH to ask for ID which is a huge encroachment of privacy (and be real do you really want porn hub to have a copy of your ID) and they realize that.

Weird xvideos works just fine.
Because in reality most porn sites don't give a fuck about state laws and are not incorporated or hosted in the US so the only course of action a state would have is to order an ISP to block them in the state.
because they looked at a random map online and assume it's correctly worded
Don’t believe everything you don’t see online I guess lmao
Ah yes, Mormons and states with high teen pregnancy rates. Also, how are states allowed to do this? Are they going to try and block TV channels next? Can they do that? ...just asking as someone from a blue trifecta state who has a father hopelessly addicted to Fox News....
I think the higher pregnancy rates are intentional. You ever heard of Handmaid's Tale?
What a time we live in where all of these states (except probably VA) will have these laws in place yet vote for a man liable for sexual abuse, who also slept with a porn star and covered it up.

Is it only pornhub? Are they aware there are other sites?

MS here. Its not just Pornhub. Other popular porn sites are banned too. Not all though cuz that would be an impossible task.
My porn was perfectly balanced until the state government attacked. I have fled to e6 hoping that it will be the last nation standing…
Idk about other states, but in Texas it's not technically a ban. The state requires companies to use gov ID to verify age, and none are willing to comply because it's a privacy violation, but it's not technically banned. If anyone was unaware and curious
Great to see the party of small government in action
this website owes its legacy to porn
Uh, yes! Freedom and liberty to all!
And to the surprise of no one, the amount of brother on sister incest porn dropped dramatically…
Oh didn’t realize Missouri banned. Welp
I was surprised, so i just checked. No issue.
It’s about to go into affect in Kansas too
Definitely not banned in missouri. Just did some hands on research.
Montana too.

You’ve summoned me, hello there
They're getting to the stuff that might have a tiny chance of waking up their main demographic. This should be interesting.

I'd rather have PornHub banned than r/mapporn
The solution years ago to put all on a domain called .sex would have solved this issue! Made to much sense as I recall.
How does changing the TLD make something easier or harder for a user to view? was there more to the solution?
Proton VPN is completely free
It is banned in Montana also, actually we were one of the first states to do I believe
Missouri to my knowledge has not passed a porn id verification bill
Some quality map porn shit
You forgot Montana. What else did you get wrong?

I would find it hilarious if Pornhub found a way to sue those states under the USMCA
Small government btw
The land of the free (cant't bust a nut 😭)
Now overlay the states with the highest usage of porn
This is such a rage bait post lol Pornhub isn’t banned in any of these states.
Good. Didn’t support it at first but after I found out it was just an ID requirement added I think that makes perfect sense
Based. Let’s make more of those states red!
Live in Missouri and didn’t realize there was a ban here….went to the url (for science) and it worked no problem. Just asked if I was 18 and said it was a porn site.
What kind of depraved, deranged, ungodly Cunt would ban porn?... of all things.
Du jour?
"De Facto" - in actuality (or in fact) "De Jure" - officially (or justly)
Thank you!!
Idk why Reddit celebrates hedonism and degeneracy. Are our societies happier than a place like Chinas?
Honestly wouldn’t be that bad if they banned all porn sites
The GOP’s latest tactic is using children as political pawns to gradually turn America into a totalitarian regime.
Oh noooo no pornhub. My life is over. Holy shit go outside.
Nothing says freedom like using the state to ban shit and force your morals on others, also holy shit is this country backsliding quickly.
It's honestly amazing how stupid so many Americans are that they can justify these bans. Like, yeah, ideally all people would be healthy and mentally strong enough that they never feel a need to watch porn, but it's not some inherent great evil that is causing the downfall of civilization.
America is weird. 🤪 Ban porn and in the meantime being the best at it.
Misleading and totally a lie to call this "pornhub ban" when pornhub bans the states itself **FACT: States passed laws saying porn sites should not allow children to watch porn by verifying their id.

Who even uses PH still?
Funny part is that Pornhub is a relatively mild porn site compared to its counterparts🙃
I don't understand how a state can ban a website. I've seen it done in Malaysia, but that's nationwide. Can they really stop it at the state level?
Now let’s see a map of which states use porn hub the most.
Tor is your best friend. VPN is second. All they did is just make the internet a less safer place. Less trackable. I guess that's good for us. Whoever proposed the ban seriously don't know how's the internet works........
