Pornhub has disabled its site in Texas to object to a state law that requires the company to verify the age of users to prevent minors from accessing the site.

Texas residents who visit the site are met with a message from the company that criticizes the state’s elected officials who are requiring them to track the age of users.

The company said the newly passed law impinges on “the rights of adults to access protected speech” and fails to pass strict scrutiny by “employing the least effective and yet also most restrictive means of accomplishing Texas’s stated purpose of allegedly protecting minors.”

    I meant in the way that members of a society interact with each other and how negative and antisocial qualities are reaching mainstream promotion because it’s profitable, but amusing way to pare down 100% of human history into two of the bleakest articles on Wikipedia I guess lol.

    Yes people can be awful. Chances are higher than zero that terrible traditions have been a thing in history. Nobody is surprised.
