It's the second one. I saw article where they talked how Florida was the first to pass it, pornhub put time and money into developing what they needed to comply and saw a 90% decrease in traffic because nobody wants to hand over their ID for free porn.
Wouldn't even want to hand over my ID for a paid service.
It’s literally in the linked article lol
Pornhub would make more money simply starting a vpn service rather than try to gather IDs
They already do
Ohhhh fuck is it viewer's age verification.. I assumed it was the people in the porn... As if this is gonna stop horny kids from seeing porn
It's to stop people from watching porn, they don't care about kids.
yeah, the smart teenager is going to be charging the adults in his life $50 to get their porn working again.
Pretty sure PH already requires ID for people in porn. That's why they wiped half the uploads some years ago pending accounts verifying themselves.
