As of this week, half of the states in the U.S. are under restrictive age verification laws that require adults to hand over their biometric and personal identification to access legal porn.

Missouri became the 25th state to enact its own age verification law on Sunday. As it’s done in multiple other states, Pornhub and its network of sister sites—some of the largest adult content platforms in the world—pulled service in Missouri, replacing their homepages with a video of performer Cherie DeVille speaking about the privacy risks and chilling effects of age verification.

I remember back around 2000 or so, getting some porn mags at a liquor store that came with DVDs. In retrospect I figure it was their way to compete with the internet which was quickly overtaking them. Maybe we will return to those days again. Ah, going backwards.
