Whip it out
And when I say whip it out I'm talking about your ID. You'll need to whip it out if you want some internet porn in Louisiana, dear. It’s the law.
On websites showcasing adult-only content, verifying your age by typing your birthdate and clicking "Go" is deemed a simple process. But in Louisiana, that's no longer the case. As of Jan. 1, 2023, people in Louisiana will need to present proof of their age, such as a government-issued ID, to visit and view pornographic websites like Pornhub, YouPorn and Redtube. The controversial law, known as Act 440, requires adult websites to screen their visitors using "reasonable age verification." The new law applies to any websites whose content is at least 33.3% pornographic material that is "harmful to minors," according to the bill signed last June. The law doesn't specify how the 33.3% would be calculated.
As per usual, the fuckery comes from the Repugs:
Rep. Laurie Schlegel, the bill's sponsor, emphasized in a tweet last week before the law went into effect that age verification is "a must to protect children from the dangers of online pornography."
"Online pornography is extreme and graphic and only one click away from our children. This is not your daddy's Playboy," Schlegel tweeted, adding that the law is "a first step" in holding pornography companies accountable.
Yep. Can you imagine the invasion of privacy? The personal information nightmares? How long before the hackers run away with your info? But you and I know it's just more 'Think of the Children!" from the party that gives you Matt Gaetz. Fuck these stupid, sanctimonious motherfuckers. I hate them all.

Everyone knows that the most ardent porn watchers are Red State living Republicans and Christians.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely.
DeleteEVERY FUCKING YEAR it's the bible belt and the Repug strongholds the ones that report off the roof porn consumption.
XOXO
if your data is stolen, you are blackmailable!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely.
DeleteAnd this legislation is going to make it even easier. Maybe that's what they're hoping will be a deterrent.
XOXO
There are a number of work-arounds for this problem, including VPNs. Most internet security software, such as Polar and Kaspersky, provide this option. Many of these VPNs list your residency in another country.
ReplyDeleteSure! VPNs are used by people who like the Dark Web and freaky shit.
DeleteBut you are missing the point (trees, meet forest): it's not that there are ways around it, but that a Repug is telling you how you are going to enjoy your porn. It's the party of personal responsibility telling you how and when to fap. And what you should look at.
XOXO
Yet one more repug move to control everything under the cover of protecting us from ourselves. When I was 13 I was reading Lady Chatterley's Lover and a teacher took it from me and they called my mother to the school. She took the book from the teacher and handed it to me and that was that. Mom's or Dad's ID's are going to get a lot of use from their kids in Louisiana.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the above is from Jon. Blogspot has, I guess, decided I am Anonymous.
DeleteOh, it's Blogger up to no good again? Ugh.
DeleteAnd yep, it's the Repugs doing a power grab, as per usual. And my first 'adult' book was Delta of Venus by Anaïs Nin. Lady Chatterley's Lover was the second.
And you just KNOW Luisiana is freaky.
XOXO
Figured it out. I was logged on with the wrong email address and Blogger thought I was someone new.

ReplyDeleteJust another big government move from the party of small government. So if I should happen to go down to Louisiana and want to unwind in my hotel, I’m going to have to use my out of state ID for their confirmation system? Are they going to be able to check other states’ databases?
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
There you go.
DeleteSmall government my ass. Those fuckers are power hungry scumbags. And you just know it's going to be a clusterfuck. I hope they sue their puritanical asses.
XOXO
I've only been to Louisiana once. That was enough. It was the first time I saw anti abortion bumper stickers on almost every car. But, I can't scream too loud because I'm in SoFlo. (fucking DeSantis)
ReplyDeleteI don't do the South.
DeleteNope. I despise it and I refuse to give any of those states my vacay dollars. Luisiana is a fucking swamp with some crummy roads.
XOXO
Big says,
ReplyDeleteYep, there it is again. That whole "for the children" bullshit again. The sanctimonious religious nuts are at still at it. The worst part is, "a first step," which means they aren't even close to being done attacking freedoms. When will she introduce a bill banning words like "dick" to "save the children"? XOXO
Oh, it's their favorite excuse.
DeleteAnd you know that they are going to try and ban porn completely. Personal freedoms mean nothing to the 'conservatives'.
XOXO
Boy ....if I lived in Louisiana...as much as a jack off over porn I'd be fined up the ass. And a friend of a friend who works at Twitter said plans are in the works for a huge "cleansing" there. I figured it would be a matter of time. The Lad is pushing me to start a Only Fans. He says guys would pay to see my cums shots. It free on Twitter...buy i enjoy giving charity.
ReplyDeleteOh, not Luisiana.
DeleteAnd I love my free porn on the tubes! Twitter is going to get a surprise because Elmo is hurting for cash and will try ANYTHING to get some dough.
If you start an Only Fans, you could make a pretty penny. Those goodies are coveted.
XOXO
It will be interesting to see what happens when some ID database is hacked and the preferences of certain Louisiana legislators get leaked. (But that will never happen, I'm sure. Republicans don't look at porn.)
ReplyDeleteHahaha You know that if it's Repug, it's kinky. Remember Rafael Cruz and his thing for MILFs in office attire?
DeleteI have the feeling that it'd be easy for a good hacker to just go in and make like a bandit with all the info.
XOXO
Well... it looks like someone didn't want to be re-elected anytime soon. What a stupid woman. NEVER mess with a man and his porn. Oh... the price she will pay. Talk about a career killer. She'll be working the drive thru at Popeye's Chicken in another couple of years. Thanks for sharing, hon. (P.S. - I really appreciate your support. It means a lot to me. Just saying...)
