    It’s the second one. I saw article where they talked how Florida was the first to pass it, pornhub put time and money into developing what they needed to comply and saw a 90% decrease in traffic because nobody wants to hand over their ID for free porn.

      After MindGeek started complying with the Louisiana law earlier this year, the company said traffic dropped by 80 percent.

      It’s literally in the linked article lol

        It’s to stop people from watching porn, they don’t care about kids.

        yeah, the smart teenager is going to be charging the adults in his life $50 to get their porn working again.

        Pretty sure PH already requires ID for people in porn. That’s why they wiped half the uploads some years ago pending accounts verifying themselves.
