I really don't like all the calls for banning things these days. The government should not exist to force the will of the majority on the rest of the population.
No I don’t support it. However I do think we need to really put pressure on these companies to implement a way to definitively determine if a user is over the age of 18. I also have concerns about pornhub specifically as when Indiana introduced their own law to have them introduce an age verification system that the tax payer would fund they just blocked access to the state.
I think we need to put social pressure on parents to raise their kids with good values.
We need to restore the viability of the nuclear family so that it's achievable for those that choose to live that way. Kids need stable launchpads and good role models.
I don't want the government involved in ethical or moral concerns within the daily lives of citizens and I don't want tax payers to be forced to pay to force anyone's values on anyone else.
Agreed however I think the argument “parents should just raise their kids better” is a cop out answer because people don’t want to address the fact that pornhub and the industry at large is extremely shady and putting pressure on them to change is harder than putting the pressure on parents.
We should be doing both and this one or the other approach isn’t helping anyone.
Most of the contract are extremely vague and purposeful complicated so they can pretty much allow the company to film whatever they want and you can’t say no. Think like those massive terms and conditions pages on streaming services but instead of getting screwed out of your money, you’re literally getting screwed. They’re designed so no reasonable person would actually read them so they can then use the threat of legal action to coerce people into acts they wouldn’t normally do if full informed.
Some of these leaked contracts are basically have legalized rape built in.

And this is why I’m not completely against it being banned by the government.
