    I redirect traffic from blocked states to this page… https://maleprime.com/about/restricted-state That entire site is porn-related, minus the actual porn. The state doesn't know what sites you're viewing. The laws don't criminalize viewing porn, they criminalize publishing porn. Most of the laws don't even give the states jurisdiction over enforcement (because that lets the porn industry preemptively sue the state). Instead they let (MAGA, Christian Nationalist) parents sue porn sites for perceived "harm" the porn site did to their child when the child encountered porn because the parent failed to do their job of putting appropriate content filters on their kid's device. So basically the laws reward people for being bad parents. And no, websites are not exempt from laws just because they're located elsewhere. That's how it should work but everyone wants to pass laws that apply to people outside their jurisdiction, so websites have to follow the laws where their visitors are, not where they are. Technically that means I violate the laws where homosexuality is illegal and could be tried in those countries. But those countries going after people like me is pointless since the US would never extradite me to face trial, and I avoid those countries…

    FYI… If you're in Indiana or Idaho - you'll be blocked come July 1. And if you're in Kansas now is the time to call the governor's office. A bill is on his desk which is the most extreme AV law yet. The threshold for adult content is reduced to 25% (down from 1/3rd in most of the laws), and pretty much all LGBT content is included - not just porn. Please make sure you and your friends are registered to vote and then actually get off your ass and go vote! These laws are happening because people vote for Republicans. I'm not saying Democrats are wonderful - but they're better than the Republicans at the moment.

    I block them. As you can see from the comments above, the block is imperfect, but it shows my intent not to violate the law. Setting up the block is "non-trivial". Chances are your host won't know how to do it, or will balk at having to do it. For that reason I strongly recommend Mojohost - they are the host used by the vast majority of people in the porn biz (other than the really big players that do their own hosting). Mojohost does have a virtual private server option that is less than $30/month, but that price basically doubles when you add a support plan (which may be needed for things like the regional blocks). And I doubt your site is justifies a $70/month hosting bill.

    And the lawsuits have started. This is from Corey Silverstein - one of the top adult industry lawyers… xHamster, Chaturbate and Aylo all have the money to fight these lawsuits. (Aylo also owns sites like Sean Cody, Men.com and Reality Dudes). So it's good that they're the ones being sued, not little players like me. And it explains why I've taken such drastic steps - I do not want to be the test case… But the bottom line here is that if you voted for Paxton (or guys like him) - then you caused this mess. If your friends and family voted for Paxton (etc) then they caused this mess. You get the government you vote for. Politics really do matter. Who you vote for matters. Voting for the lesser of two evils really does make a difference.

    You agreed to those terms of service 1) every time you accessed the site from a new device (and when your cookies were deleted or expired), and 2) when you registered for the site. The fact that you repeatedly agreed to things without reading them is not our fault. Most people find this site through Google, and the fact that you can view most of the posts without logging in means we don't hide the fact that most posts on this site are public. Your failure to see the obvious is not our fault. The data protection act doesn't work the way you seem to think it does. We have no business presence in the UK, hence we do far more than is legally required.

    A lot of your confusion could have been avoided by reading the page on Male Prime fully, and by reading the comments in this thread. Your ISP is not using "clean" IPs. Talk to your ISP about the problem, or get a VPN that insures you're coming from a clean IP.

    Who says you should sign into Male Prime? (Not me.) Who says signing into Male Prime gives you access to this site? (It doesn't.)

    Scroll down and you'll see which of the blocked states your traffic is being routed through. Complain to your ISP - ask them for a clean ISP that doesn't (or hasn't recently been used to) route traffic through a state with restrictions.

    I'm locking this thread. There's nothing new that hasn't already been said in the thread.

    A bill has been introduced in Ohio which ups the penalty to a 3rd degree felony for webmasters and a misdemeanor for anyone in the state who uses a VPN to get around the law. https://www.clevescene.com/news/proposed-ohio-porn-age-verification-bill-raises-serious-civil-liberties-concerns-42996253 How you guys vote, how your friends and family votes - it matters a lot! This is going to get worse before it gets better.

    The Electoral College is probably the only reason why the US doesn't have a widespread problem with stolen elections via voter fraud. Right now voter fraud is pointless by parties that dominate a state, which means the only place vote fraud is effective is in highly contested states where the other party will have more resources and be able to challenge the fraud. If you want actual stolen elections - get rid of the Electoral College. Until we rewrite our constitution and have a parliamentary system, it's better than the alternative.

    Sorry, but on this topic the progressives and the hard right are both supporting censorship of porn and are a threat to sexual expression. The GOP wants to censor porn for "moral" reasons. The progressives want to censor porn for feminist reasons (e.g. "all porn is an abuse of women"). Politics is circular (or at least horseshoe shaped). The far left and far right often come to the same conclusions - just for different reasons. Both encourage censorship and are anti-free speech. Don't believe me?

    I have not experienced that - on my Mac or my iPhone - though I mostly use Firefox on my Mac. Safari is getting increasingly weird about deleting cookies before their requested expiration (in the name of "security"). They could be tracking whether you consistently say OK and just clicking it for you. It wasn't a cookie they were supposed to delete in the first place. (You shouldn't be seeing that dialog in most cases). I'd only worry if it was getting auto set for a user who was new to the site.

    The 2016 elections were about the Supreme Court as much as it was about the president. This court is what people who voted for Trump were voting for. (And McConnell's stonewalling on the Merrick Garland vote contributed greatly as well). We're a country "founded" by Puritans. (I use "founded" in quotes since it's not like the US wasn't inhabited at the time). I don't see the Comstock Act going away any time soon. But I do see pieces of it being chipped away as pro-choice women stand up and vocally fight for their rights. Thing is, these laws are patently unconstitutional (at least previous courts would have said so). But it's going to take time to get the cases through the courts. And the bits that make us wait for a parent to sue are a problem (hence my previous post).

    As of January 1 North Carolina will be blocked as well… https://www.xbiz.com/news/277079/democratic-nc-governor-signs-copycat-age-verification-bill-into-law

    If any of you are in Louisiana (or possibly Utah) and have kids and want to fight this… The laws are structured in a way that lets parents sue porn sites. A judge in Louisiana just threw out the part of the Free Speech Coalition’s lawsuit that challenged that part of the law. I’m guessing (don’t know exactly) that they’d like a “friendly” parent who’d be willing to sue a porn site (not this site). If you or anyone you know would be interested in being the friendly lawsuit - contact the Free Speech Coalition (https://www.freespeechcoalition.com) & offer. The value of a friendly lawsuit is lower costs and the lawsuit can be structured in a way to maximize the chances of the porn site winning. Winning those lawsuits is probably what it’s going to take to change this situation.

    Given that Northern VA is a major Internet connection point, that doesn’t surprise me. Which reminds me - I should exempt googlebot & bingbot from these blocks. (That’s not a hint to change your user agent string since I’ll think you’re a bot and restrict your access).

    Casually mentioning or discussing whether a porn star escorts is OK, but "can I hire him?", or suggesting someone hire someone, or links to escort profiles would be going over the line into encouraging illegal behavior. (e.g. my porn star profiles on bbbh.com will not have links to profiles on Rent Men).

    In this week's news North Carolina is now considering a similar law… https://www.xbiz.com/news/276941/north-carolina-group-backing-age-verification-bill-admits-law-is-actually-anti-pornography

    The BZ server is now outside of Detroit - so Detroit / Chicago / Toronto VPN location should be best.

    And Texas is blocked again… The 5th Circuit (the worst in the nation) just lifted the preliminary injunction.

    BTW… I've added a section telling you where I think you're located to the page that's shown when I think you're coming from a restricted state. https://maleprime.com/about/restricted-state

    I've reverted to the older version of the theme. That may cause other problems, so 🤞

    There was a software upgrade today. I've noticed the changes too and am hoping it's just a CSS caching issue. If it persists tomorrow I'll look into it further.

    There are bigger questions… At some point I'll change out that whole thing with the account list for Nostr. I'm increasingly antagonistic towards X (twitter.com). But I need to make progress on s3x.social and that got disrupted by my stroke. I should be getting back to that in the coming weeks. X = a corporate overlord controls things Nostr = the absence of corporate overlords In the meantime linking to a suspended account just highlights why I'll eventually ditch X.
