For the past few years I've been asking "is there anywhere on the internet to post adult content that doesn't actively hate you?" Well, it's only gotten worse, folks! Fuck Art

A Statewide NSFW Ban? Inside North Carolina’s PAVE Act

Quote:If you’re a furry, a sex worker, an adult content creator, or just someone who likes using PornHub, then chances are you’ve heard of the PAVE Act. This new North Carolina law, which went into effect on January 1, 2024, has radically altered the way local residents can use the internet.

In particular, sites that primarily host explicit sexual content have pulled the plug on the Old North State’s users, forcing them to use VPNs and other means to combat the law’s effects. While the PAVE Act has brought PornHub and furry imageboard e621 to their knees in North Carolina, the law isn’t necessarily a “ban” on NSFW content—not in name, at least.

Rather, it’s an act that foreshadows future bills to come across Republican-dominated legislatures, suggesting Americans living in red states might soon find their access to pornographic content de facto controlled by their local governments.

E621 has this to say:

Quote:Dec 31st: Due to the current legal situation in North Carolina and the uncertainty surrounding it, we will be blocking access to e621.net from North Carolina until we can consult with our legal counsel on this matter. We did not come to this decision lightly and we will do what we can, as we can, to rectify and remedy this situation so that we can restore access to those users that are affected by this matter. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and will have an update as soon as possible.
