Pornhub blocks all Utah users in response to new age verification law

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:52:36 GMT

Pornhub.com has denied Utah residents access to its site in response to the state's new age verification law, KTLA's sister station KTVX is reporting.Utahns who attempt to go to the site will instead be driven to a black page with a statement from the site's management and a short video featuring adult actress Cherie DeVille explaining why the site cannot be accessed.Earlier this year, the Utah Legislature and Gov. Spencer Cox passed and signed Senate Bill 287, which requires adult sites to use some sort of age-verification system to keep underage viewers from seeing pornographic content. The bill passed unanimously.The bill was based, in part, on a similar piece of legislation passed in Louisiana. The main difference, however, is that unlike in Louisiana, Utah's digital ID system does not currently allow for online verifications. Pornhub, for its part, argues in its statement that "giving your ID card every time you want to visit an adult platform is not the most effective solution...

Glen Matlock Parties at the Roxy

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:52:36 GMT

Glen Matlock Parties at the Roxy: Before we pulled up onto the Sunset Strip and entered the famous Roxy Theatre, we found ourselves two miles away at the Jail Guitar Doors‘s CAPO (Community Arts Programming & Outreach) Center on 3rd and Fairfax, to celebrate MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer‘s 75th birthday.Jail Guitar Doors is a nonprofit started by Wayne and his wife Margaret Kramer, “which offers creative alternatives to vulnerable, under-resourced populations through music education and arts activities. The programs help marginalized youth develop their talents and capacities; disrupt systemic root causes of inequality, poverty, and racism; and advocates for families and communities impacted by the carceral system.”A noble cause, by a good man. We saw JGD teachers Cole and Laena perform and then had to leave for the Roxy. But there was an incredible fundraising auction with a lot of signed guitars, and performances from Kramer and Tom Morello among others.Th...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — It's LeBron vs. Steph on the big stage, Take V.With a slightly different look in the playoffs these days for two of the game's greatest players.“Just two of the most competitive players that have ever played this game,” James said Monday. “We want to etch our name in the history books as much as we can, and we’re playing our own way. I’ve got nothing but the greatest admiration and respect for Steph.”Curry and Draymond Green reflect back on Golden State's many memorable NBA Finals battles with James and marvel how they're all still playing such high-level basketball so many years later. Why Draymond Green ‘lost a lot of respect’ for Kings star Sabonis Yet this Western Conference semifinal matchup starting Tuesday is new for everybody: Curry, Green, Klay Thompson and these Warriors have never faced LeBron's Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs — even if they're plenty familiar with James himself.“It is special to know the first series we played him in Cleveland i...

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:52:36 GMT

MADRID (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz made sure he wouldn’t be among the top seeds being upset at the Madrid Open on Tuesday, playing well from the start to secure his spot in the quarterfinals with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Alexander Zverev.After both second-seeded Daniil Medvedev and fifth-seeded Andrey Rublev lost their fourth-round matches at the clay-court tournament, Alcaraz cruised past 13th-seeded Zverev to stay on track to defend his title at home.It was a rematch of last year’s Madrid final, which Alcaraz also comfortably won against the former two-time champion in the Spanish capital.“For me it’s amazing to play the level that I played today,” Alcaraz said. “I feel really good right now and this match gives me a lot of confidence.”Alcaraz didn’t concede any break opportunities against Zverev and converted on four of the 10 break chances he had. The 19-year-old Spaniard ended with 21 winners and 12 unforced errors. Zverev had only nine winners and 22 unforced errors.“Th...

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:52:36 GMT

NUEVA YORK — La soledad generalizada en Estados Unidos plantea riesgos para la salud comparables a fumar una docena de cigarrillos al día, y cuesta miles de millones de dólares anuales a la industria de salud, indicó el martes el director de Salud Pública de Estados Unidos al declarar una nueva epidemia de salud pública.En torno a la mitad de los adultos estadounidenses dicen que han experimentado soledad, dijo el doctor Vivek Murthy en un reporte de 81 páginas de su oficina.“Ahora sabemos que la soledad es un sentimiento común que experimenta mucha gente. Es como la sed o el hambre. Es una sensación que nos transmite el cuerpo cuando falta algo que necesitamos para sobrevivir”, explicó Murthy a The Associated Press en una entrevista. “Millones de personas en Estados Unidos sufren en la sombra, y eso no está bien. Por eso emití este aviso para retirar el velo sobre una lucha que experimenta demasiada gente”. Millonario busca novia que lo acompañe en su viaje a la Luna ...
