> No different than having to buy porn magazines at your local corner store.... And that's the point.

So… going 25 years back in time and forgo any online shopping ? Or your argumentum ad antiquitatem should only apply to porn ?

> never in history has there ever been a presumption of complete anonymity.

Everything as a first.

> In general, if you're embarrassed to tell someone else what you're doing you probably shouldn't do it.

That's an absolute insane take. Different peoples have different morals values, not wanting to broadcast your personal life as nothing to do with "embarrassment", and a lot of time, more about your safety.

Should people don't abort because they don't want to tell everyone about it ? Do you always tell your coworkers when your going to take shit ? Do you share your sexual life with your plumber ? Even if he's a religious bigot and your gay ?




Online shopping is not anonymous at all. You provide your name, address, etc.

Absolutely! You have every right to think showing pornography to children is not only morally right, but morally required. However, the laws of the state of California, and most other states, say it's illegal. So regardless of what you think, under the law you are a criminal.

Pornhub has every right to believe what it likes!
