Dear user,
As you may know, your elected officials in Utah are requiring us to verify your age before allowing you access to our website. While safety and compliance are at the forefront of our mission, giving your ID card every time you want to visit an adult platform is not the most effective solution for protecting our users, and in fact, will put children and your privacy at risk.

In addition, mandating age verification without proper enforcement gives platforms the opportunity to choose whether or not to comply. As weve seen in other states, this just drives traffic to sites with far fewer safety measures in place. Very few sites are able to compare to the robust Trust and Safety measures we currently have in place. To protect children and user privacy, any legislation must be enforced against all platforms offering adult content.

The safety of our users is one of our biggest concerns. We believe that the best and most effective solution for protecting children and adults alike is to identify users by their device and allow access to age-restricted materials and websites based on that identification.
Until a real solution is offered, we have made the difficult decision to completely disable access to our website in Utah.
Please contact your representatives before it is too late and demand device-based verification solutions that make the internet safer while also respecting your privacy.

Most of the Republicans that voted this in don't have the faculties to understand VPNs. This ban will be be relevant.

Utah hasn't blocked them. I checked. Still have access to a ton of other porn sites. Pretty sure pornhub pulled it's business from Utah. Seriously though I hate this state. Mormons are greedy asf and have a say in most everything. Even when it's hypocritical. They can't have caffeine yet they have stocks in coca cola. They say this social media bill is to protect minors but it's really just to collect information.

Are drinks with caffeine easy to purchase in Utah?

Utah needs to respect the separation of church and state

One of the biggest things that pisses me off in the world, is when religions try to control the lives of people who aren't of that religion. If I lived in Utah, I'd be probably in a horrible mood every day because of this

Yes! As easy to get in any other state. They can't drink anything with caffeine but they totally profit off of it. Actually they do a lot of things they shouldn't and they get away with it. Like hiding tithing money in shell corporations.

They really do. Me and my bf are miserable here. We're planning on moving in the next year or 2

How about "no"? We don't currently live in a country that wants IDs for porn for the reasons they say they want them, nor do we live in one where the government will act responsibly even if they had good intentions (which again, they don't).

Utah didn't ban it. Pornhub itself blocked access because new state laws requiring websites with adult content to verify users' ages before allowing them to access the platforms. Meaning every time you want to watch porn you have to show I'd and pornhub didn't want them collecting our information like that so they blocked access. It wasn't just in utah either.

Its no surprise, considering that its also a red state that controls all alcohol sales other than pseudo-beer and wine coolers. But we are pro-capitalism and against government interference in free markets unless we want to control it!!!

Ah lol. Either way utah doesn't support anyone who isn't a cis straight white mormon male. The Mormons here are way worse then Mormons in other states. They go hella hard here. However despite all the horrible crap they do a lot of people are leaving the church. The last general conference they had people were literally sleeping. Some just looked board and it wasn't as packed as it usually is. Honestly I think they are just trying to stay relevant.

No sweat, Canada is pretty boring.

I have a lot of American friends and relatives, and have wanted to move to the US since I was a teenager, so that helps. Was actually supposed to be an American citizen (Grew up partially in Honolulu) but Mom was attached to her maternity doctor so it never transpired.

conservatives really hate porn.

And accordingly, except for the ones that abide by the teachings of the Bible less than the well-meaning liberals, that they love to ruthlessly criticize, unintentionally do.

Basically, I hate the hypocrisy and can't stand people who want to act holier than the people doing the same things from which they derive pleasure (usually stemming from pursuit of pleasure from sex, power, or money), but much more often on a smaller scale individually.

Thats not as common as you'd think. Its a very small percentage. No, rich white dudes here don't have harems who live in the same house. That's media driven nonsense. 1 guy has multiple wives each with their own house and he rotates his time between them all and even then that's a splinter sect and most of them live in Arizona.
