SCOTUS has just agreed to hear Free Speech Coalition’s challenge of the Texas AV law. So by this time next year we should have some sort of resolution to the legal questions. But given the make-up of the court, it may just lead to more AV laws. But at least things will be less up in the air. This is why who you vote for matters - they determine the make-up of the court…

It will be blocked when their law goes into effect on 1/1/25. VOTE!

Use a VPN… (I really should be promoting one…)

As of today I've added Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky and Nebraska to the list. As @BootmanLA mentioned, Indiana came very close to being added as well. Free Speech Coalition is the reason why that law is suspended (for now). Please give to them if you're able so legal challenges like that one can have more success. I've also updated the OP so you can see the full list of blocked states…

My reading of that is a conservative court making sure conservatives lose in November. Nothing will get people voting Democratic quite like going back to an 1864 law controlling women's bodies back in the era when they couldn't even vote. And in a purple state… Republicans / conservatives are their own worst enemy. (The same can be said of Democrats sometimes…)

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.

The data protection act and privacy act
rawTOP replied to keith55's topic in Tips, Tricks, Rules & Help
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.
