Porn’s War on Privacy: How Conservative States are Forcing Sex Sites to Spy on You
In a shocking move, Pornhub has announced that it will block access to its website in Indiana and Kentucky, citing concerns over age verification laws that are designed to spy on adults. But don’t be fooled – this is just the tip of the iceberg. The website has already cut off access in at least half a dozen states, and it’s not hard to see why.
These laws are nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to invade our privacy and control what we can and can’t see online. And the Electronic Frontier Foundation agrees, calling them “surveillance systems” that will lead to the misuse and theft of our sensitive data. But Pornhub’s parent company, Aylo, is playing along, claiming that it supports age verification while simultaneously arguing that the current laws are “ineffective, haphazard, and dangerous”.
So, what’s really going on here? Is Aylo just trying to profit from our private data, or are they genuinely concerned about the impact of these laws on the adult entertainment industry? One thing is certain – these laws will only drive consumers to websites that don’t follow the law, and may even lead to the proliferation of unmoderated content.
The age-old debate over online privacy has just taken a dark turn. As we continue to surrender our privacy to the whims of governments and corporations, it’s clear that the future of the internet is looking increasingly bleak.
