At the dawn of the new year, Pornhub will leave Florida. Thanks to a harsh new age verification law that takes effect on January 1, the porn giant will no longer do business in the sunshine state. The law mirrors similar laws passed in other Republican led states where Pornhub has stopped doing business.

    further, paradoxically, denying access to porn puts women in more danger.

    That’s… Part of the goal. Women “need to know their place” and all, per the GOP.

      oh no i know. it’s just they always sell these policies to women who aren’t endangered by them by saying they’re meant to make women safer. it’s like saying “we’re going to make communities safer by criminalizing drugs.” to demographics who were never endangered in the first place it makes sense. to people who understand the interrelation between class and crime, it immediately raises risk flags. the best way to get people to stop selling drugs is to give them money to buy food another way. the best way to get people to stop doing drugs is to get them into a healthcare facility and address the issues the drugs dull. criminalization just makes engaging in these survival tactics more dangerous
