Starting today in preparation for the piece of legislation unanimously passed by the VA house you will no longer be able to access pornhub and if you go to other websites such as xhamster below you will get this message.
So in order to watch adult materials you need to have the website TAKE A PICTURE of you which is then used by an unspecified third party provider. Anyone in tech must realize how insanely stupid this is and inevitably there will be a hack linking people’s pictures with their adult website habits.
Regardless of whether or not you consume adult content I think everyone can agree this is a gross overreach of the state government and could lead to some seriously embarrassing hacks and scandals in the future.
Just watch, next they’ll start discussing whether or not using VPNs to skrt these laws is in and of itself a violation of the law, and so forth.
Before some armchair logician talks about the SS fallacy, the SS fallacy is only a fallacy if there is no logical basis for one step to the next. It’s plausible they could use restricting access to VPNs as a solution to people using “loopholes” to get around the law.
Not that they could enforce it if someone knows what they’re doing. But the Republicans need to keep their ignorant ass hands off of internet laws. Both parties actually, but Republicans seem to be the ones with a hard-on for it.
Invasion of privacy at its most blatant. As an adult I can no longer have one off the wrist in the comfort of my own home while anonymously viewing porn…. I must identify myself? Thanks Virginia legislators with a special shout out to the GOP for being the party that touts individual liberties but in fact directly undermines them. Pathetic would be kind.
