Pornhub has shut off access in Mississippi and Virginia to protest age verification laws that can involve checking government IDs. It previously blocked access in Utah.

Valid points. Not trusting pornhub after it taking so long to clean up it's content might be the better choice overall. Especially if ethics in porn is a top priority. I do think consuming too much porn is a problem for some people and it could start to warp perception if the consumer can't separate reality and fantasy.

I think most people don't care about ethics in porn, so I try to rep any small push toward good. It's not perfect but "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" and all.
