PornHub has now added Texas to its blocklist, preventing users in the state from accessing its site in protest of age verification laws.

    This is incredibly stupid. Someone should do a complete breakdown on the actual merits of the statement that Texas wants them to display:

    TEXAS HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES WARNING: Pornography is potentially biologically addictive, is proven to harm human brain development, desensitizes brain reward circuits, increases conditioned responses, and weakens brain function

      This is mostly true (at least it was for me), but the law is still stupid. You’re not going to stop internet porn with age verification. It’s never worked, kids will always find a way around it.

      I don’t think they are wrong though.
