Oh boy, let me tell you about this whole mess with Pornhub in Indiana. It’s been a wild ride, and I’ve been following it like a hawk. So, I heard that Indiana passed this law, right? It says that any website with adult stuff needs to do a better job of checking ages.
Naturally, I got curious. I mean, how would this even work? So, I started digging around. First, I checked out the news to see what was going on. Turns out, this law’s been in the works for a while. They passed it, and it was supposed to go into effect, but then a judge blocked it. But then, another court flipped that decision. Talk about a rollercoaster!
So, I decided to see for myself what would happen. I went to Pornhub’s website, and guess what? It was working just fine. I was like, “Okay, maybe they haven’t implemented anything yet.” But then I saw this message popping up for Indiana users. It basically said they were going to “lose access” soon. They were planning to block everyone in Indiana by June.
I kept checking back every now and then, just to see what was up. And then, boom! August 15th rolls around, and guess what? I could not access the site anymore. They actually did it! They blocked access to the whole state.
- First, I read about the new law in Indiana.
- Then, I investigated the legal back-and-forth.
- I tried accessing Pornhub and initially succeeded.
- I noticed a warning message about upcoming access restrictions.
- Finally, I confirmed that Pornhub blocked access in Indiana after August 15th.
The Aftermath
Honestly, it’s kind of crazy when you think about it. A whole state getting cut off from a major website like that. I’m not even going to get into the whole debate about whether it’s right or wrong. But from a purely practical standpoint, it’s a pretty big deal. And it looks like it’s not just Indiana. They’ve already done this in a bunch of other states like Texas, Utah, and Virginia. It’s a trend, I guess.
Now, I’m just waiting to see what happens next. Will other sites follow suit? Will there be more legal challenges? Who knows! But you can bet I’ll be keeping an eye on it and sharing my findings with all of you.
