Pornhub goes dark in Arkansas after age verification law kicks in

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I wanna see over the next year how rape and sexual harassment rates change.
Not sure what the spirit is behind this comment, but for all the cases that could be made in advocacy for porn, I don't think this should be one. If porn is the only thing keeping rape cases from drastically increasing, there is something much more broken in our society, and access to porn won't fix that.
Edit: Holy shit, guys. I thought poor reading comprehension and inflammatory dog-piling was something that wouldn't be so commonplace, after moving here from Reddit. Where did I say I support anything about what these pieces of legislation are enforcing? Every single response I've gotten so far has been arguing different points of discussion, of which my comment has nothing to do with. All I said was "GIVE THE RAPISTS THEIR PORN SO WE CAN BE SAFE!!!" isn't exactly a strong angle to approach the issue from. One user is even sharing a study that includes data showing that giving pedophiles access to child pornography reduces rates of sexual assault with children. Like, no shit, but is the lack of child pornography really the core issue at that point? Don't bother replying to me if you just want to put words in my mouth, and assume my stances on topics which I so far haven't shared.
Do you lock your door at night or when you leave? You shouldn't have to, but you currently need to. So it would be stupid not to.
