minus-squareWhatIsThePointAnyway@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up18·5 months agoThis is part one of the religious rights plan to go after porn sites and their patrons. Don’t give them your ID. If they get power, it will come back on you.
minus-squareGot_Bent@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down6·5 months agoI don’t think pornhub wants your ID. I live in Texas and just tested the site to see if anyone has changed. It hasn’t since they essentially shut down here. It’s a full page statement about Texas politicians. There’s no option to submit an ID even if a person wanted to do so. But maybe I’ve misunderstood who “them” is in your comment.

They’ll see everyone’s porn habits. And have addresses for everyone watching anything except all the fucked up incest porn.
