Pornhub blocks Montana and North Carolina as their age verification laws take effect | The website says the states’ ID requirement would put users’ privacy at risk::Montana and North Carolina are the latest to join the list of states with age verification laws for adult platforms.
It also works the other way. A lot of people in state are going to have IP addresses that appear out of state.
All in all, using IP to establish a physical address is VERY imperfect. Especially if you’re targeting people over cellular networks or networks in larger commercial properties.
I look forward to watching people try to sue porn sites that are actively trying to block access to a state.
This is going to be a shit show. It’s a law passed by people who don’t understand the underlying tech.
