https://indianacapitalchronicle.com/briefs/attorney-general-sues-pornographic-websites/Attorney General Todd Rokita is suing about 50 sexually explicit websites, alleging they have violated Indiana’s age-verification law.The lawsuits allege that the content made available to children by the defendants — all of whom are associated with a multinational pornographic conglomerate known as Aylo — includes sexual violence, choking, rape fantasies, sex slavery and sex with teen girls.“We know for a fact, from years of research, that adolescent exposure to pornography carries severe physical and psychological harms,” Rokita said. “It makes boys more likely to perpetrate sexual violence and girls more likely to be sexually victimized. Yet, despite such realities, these defendants seem intent on peddling their pornographic perversions to Hoosier kids.”Lawmakers in 2024 passed the law requiring websites that host pornography to verify that users are at least 18 years old. As a result, Pornhub, which is owned by Aylo, blocked access to the site in Indiana.Challenges to the law were ultimately unsuccessful.“Rather than implement any form of reasonable age verification for its websites, Defendants represented to Indiana consumers, including Hoosier parents, that they had ‘completely disable[d] access to our website[s] in Indiana.’ However, Defendants have publicly admitted they know that Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), proxies, and location spoofing software may be used to continue to access Defendants’ websites in Indiana,” the lawsuit said.
In addition to Indiana’s age-verification law, Rokita’s lawsuit also alleges the defendants violated the state’s Deceptive Consumer Sales Act in several ways:1) by making false and misleading statements regarding the accessibility of the pornographic websites by Indiana residents and 2) by misleading consumers about their alleged hosting of child sexual abuse material and nonconsensual material.The attorney general’s office is seeking an injunction, civil penalties and costs.“Despite these known harms to minors, the Defendants’ websites are pumping enormous amounts of pornographic content onto the internet, where minors can and do freely access it,” the lawsuit said.

>>1466263Shut down entirely to appease the performative puritanical Republican base and distract from the Republican administration currently driving the economy and nation off a cliff
>>1466263Range ban VPNs like 4chan does I guess
>>1466273There are VPNs that get past that though. Which, judging by their lawsuit, would still mean they're in violation.There is literally nothing they can do short of shutting down. This lawsuit is getting thrown the fuck out.
>>1466263Nothing. They’re supposed to just get shut down.This is EXACTLY how Project 2025 said they would ban porn. Don’t blanket ban it on the federal level, just saddle sites with ridiculous condition they cannot possibly fulfill and thus get shut down on a state-by-state basis. >>1466276>This lawsuit is getting thrown the fuck out.Hopefully, but I wouldn’t take that bet.
>>1466307So it's like how California enforces it's rule on the rest of the states, huh?
>>1466310No, and fuck off.
>>1466310How so?
>>1466313Indeed, explain in detail, please.
>>1466331Not him but it's amazing how you suddenly want the government to interfere with the free market after bitching about government interference for decades.
>>1466335There is no free market in the US.
>>1466339Go live on an island, John Galt.
>>1466340Interesting reference.
>>1466310Yes, it is. That's why I support it. If democrats do it, republicans should too, and vice versa Let's all ruin the country together. Praise Israel, amen.

>>1466452He's trying to deflect from the fact that age verification, aka porn bans are entirely republican, conservative plots. Don't even humor his whataboutisms since he wants to distract from Republican's anti free speech and privacy platform.

>1466454>WhataboutismDon't fall for the election tourist's bait to derail the thread, this is about Republican censorship and invasion of privacy.
>>1466457Look, if they ban porn and you don't know how to get it, that's a you problem. If you aren't high IQ enough to jerk it to porn, just go fucking reproduce or something, retard.

>>1466263You think Republican niggers have an answer to that? Their big plan is to strap everyone to the anti-masturbation cross until they're 30.
>>1466276>This lawsuit is getting thrown the fuck out.Kek, naive. All this guy has to do is find another retarded as stupid as he is but he's wearing a robe. The judge system for these suits is flawed and most judges should lose their bars.
>>1466461>it's not okay for Republicans to attack the 1stIt's not, piss off mentally ill shitskin. You don't even use your second amendment for anything but a security blanket while rethugliniggers take away the 1st, 4th, and 5th.
>>1466310California doesn't force you to change, unless you want to sell in California. Making stuff California-compliant also doesn't make it harder to sell said wares outside of California. This? This is going after companies for not knowing that users are from Indiana when said users make every attempt to hide their Hoosier heritage. The only way to prevent this is omniscience or obliteration. The former is impossible and the latter makes it impossible to do business outside of Indiana, too.
