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’ve got a lot of privacy stuff, but I also know that I’m being tracked. I’m not using the VPN for privacy though. I’m using it to watch porn, so I don’t really care. If I did want privacy there’s a lot of things I could improve, but I’m not that worried about it.

    As for the targeted advertising, I don’t see any of that. I wouldn’t be surprised if that were in French but I wouldn’t know.

      Yeah…I don’t really know what I’m talking about…it’s not like I make much of an effort for privacy. I’m guess it’s just my particular ISP. It’s like…the random advertising is in French…but if they know who I am it’s targeted…it’s mixed.
