This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I agree with all of that. What I don't agree with is blaming the entirety of the US for this policy. This is one dumbass state, doing a dumbass thing. The UK passed a similar law and I'd be just as wrong if I shit talked the rest of Europe for it.

As of January 2025:

While Pornhub is not blocked in Louisiana, it is blocked in these 17 states, a Pornhub representative confirmed to Mashable:

Alabama

Arkansas

Florida

Idaho

Indiana

Kansas

Kentucky

Mississippi

Montana

Nebraska

North Carolina

Oklahoma

South Carolina

Tennessee

Texas

Utah

Virginia

In Louisiana, where users must submit ID to view Pornhub, the site has seen traffic decline by around 80 per cent, Aylo (Pornhub's parent company) told Mashable.

This is not just "Oh Florida is just being quirky again" this is systematic.

The UK vs EU and the states vs the USA is not apples to apples. As I understand it though, we're actually approaching 20 US states requiring such verification. Iowa is trying to pass something similar. This is a trend across the country, which is why I generalized the USA.
