From the Pornhub website:
YOU WILL LOSE ACCESS TO PORNHUB IN 11 DAYSLinks: www.xbiz.com and www.youtube.com
Did you know that your government wants you to give your driver's license before you can access PORNHUB?
As crazy as that sounds, it's true. You'll be required to prove you are 18 years or older such as by uploading your government ID for every adult content website you'd like to access.
We don't want minors accessing our site and think preventing that from happening is a good thing. But putting everybody's privacy at risk won't achieve that.
Curious about the right solution?
We encourage you to learn more about device-based verification solutions that make the internet safer for all, especially children, while also respecting your privacy. Read our op-ed on Why Device-Based Age Verification is the Key to Protecting Minors Online or watch this video on Making the Internet Safer with Device-Based Age Verification."
The latter video is excellent in explaining what should be done and why Fine/Florida and Texas "solutions" are utter garbage.
