Pornhub Ban Sweeps Across US States, Sparking Privacy and Freedom Debate

Seventeen US states now mandate age verification for accessing online pornography, impacting major platforms like Pornhub. These laws, requiring state-issued ID, raise privacy concerns, prompting Aylo, the parent company of several adult websites, to withdraw service from these states. The increased demand for VPNs to circumvent these restrictions highlights the impact of the legislation. Furthermore, potential future restrictions under a Trump administration, as outlined in the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 plan, could lead to even stricter measures, including potential criminalization of pornography.

Pakistani Religious Body Declares VPNs Un-Islamic, Sparking Censorship Debate

Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology declared using VPNs to access blocked content as un-Islamic, citing the facilitation of immoral activities and the spread of disinformation. Simultaneously, the government, citing terrorism and pornography concerns, is implementing a nationwide firewall and requiring VPN registration, a move critics see as increasing surveillance and limiting free speech. This registration process demands personal information from users, raising privacy concerns. The government denies attempting to throttle the internet, but experts suggest the new system enhances state monitoring capabilities. The push for greater online control coincides with increased criticism of the military’s alleged political interference.
