>> You might be thinking what in the Handmaid's tale is this?
No that's what people are seeing when they try to access pornhub which
I read as a website in one particular state.
Louisiana has apparently passed this insane law,
we're gonna give you all the details.
Public defender ring, uploaded that video to twitter and
says hello from the surveillance state of Louisiana.
People in Louisiana have to use their driver's license to go to pornhub.
This is truly wild under his eye.
Yeah, no it's real, it's Louisiana state House Bill 142 requires adult
sites to screen visitors via reasonable age verification.
And somehow they're defining having to use your license is reasonable, okay?
By law it was signed by the way back in June,
they define reasonable age verification rather narrowly.
You can't do something like the agree that your plus 18 box or
input your birth year, no it has to be full on government documentation.
You can use the digitized ID card based on some form of government ID, or
simply actually show your license or something like it.
So they have this initiative called the LA Watch Wallet initiative that you can use
and you will need to if you wanna access some of these other websites that I've
never heard of.
So JR what, it's 2023 we've survived with people being
accessed able to access pornography for many decades at this point.
Why now, why in this way, what do you think?
>> They're running out of options brother, they're running out of things to complain
about [COUGH] because they're running out of things to say that they're trying to
oversee and protect your children problem, this is just another ploy.
But then of course it's also to make sure they track and monitor people that
are like yeah, sure I'll do whatever it takes to get to my site, right?
So [COUGH] these folks that are doing this, you think they weren't 14,
15 year old kids at any point.
But they maybe didn't have the same access,
I don't know what it is that the motivations are outside
of trying to look a certain way, which is the complete opposite of who they are.
It's just the way these things operate, but
now I'm not sure if the bigger motivation has been collecting folks information.
Either way it goes it's all around bad and eventually this keeps happening.
Since they run out of things to say that they're so virtuous about and
Christian based about, they keep going to these links, and
they keep alienating the people that are following to the ends of the earth.
There's some limits bro, we already know the bible belt specifically,
I think Utah even is where the most porn watching happens digital online
porn watching happens.
Because these are the folks that are being told so much not to do it over and
over and over again since they were five years old.
So of course then you have these kind of results, but is this gonna work?
There's more of the virtue signaling is happening.
This is just gonna push people away bro, because they have to know their
constituents are not about keeping their porn from their eyes.
>> Exactly yeah, I know that this has been tried in the UK and France, and
the UK I believe they did some massive changes to it.
I don't know the state of the of in France, but no,
I don't think this is gonna work.
This is, they call it House Bill 142 I would call the VPN
stimulus Act, because that's what's gonna happen.
It's going to unleash what I'll call a torrent of other ways to
access pornography.
Or look, I'm just worried about, we know that there's
already this issue of in cells predisposed to violence.
You're gonna cut them off from their supply of pornography as well,
you think that's gonna be a good idea?
Okay, well look, that they're trying, right now, it's just Louisiana by the way.
But bear in mind, Utah senator Mike Lee recently proposed a law that would require
a verification for accessing porn websites on a national level as well as basically
outlawing a ton of different forms of content altogether.
So, you will have to submit government approved documentation to
access a sex act or whatever, and maybe we'll have a short list of acts
that are acceptable that Mike Lee thinks it's okay for you to look at.
And by the way, there are supposed to be protections in this JR to make sure that
people's private information isn't released.
Okay, yeah, there's no way that this could possibly go wrong [LAUGH] and
people's search history and stuff couldn't be shared everything.
This entire thing is a disaster, prohibition is not gonna work.
