Due to the unfair, thoughtless, and most importantly un-Constitutional laws that your state has passed, we have taken the unfortunate measure of blocking access to Black Label Magazine from your state.
Age Verification, in the manner in which your state has forcibly shoved down the throats of the adult industry–without consulting the industry at all–is not only a violation of free expression, but it is also a violation of your right to privacy.
Your state, and the others like it, are using the “protect the children” argument to cause adult businesses like mine require you to transmit sensitive personally identifiable information across the internet. Doing so restricts your access to free speech and my ability to deliver it to you. But your politicians don’t care about the Constitution; your politicians are either part of or swindled by the efforts of so-called “Christian Nationalists” to “purify” the internet for “the sake of the children.”
You should know, if you don’t already, that’s complete bullshit. The Religious Right wants nothing more than control. If they cared so much about children they’d feed all the impoverished children and support all the single parents out there. This is about control. And I refuse to comply. I also refuse to accept responsibility for other people’s children; the onus on protecting children lies with the parents, not an internet company.
Sorry that you have to suffer for it.
Please think about who you’re voting for. Support the Free Speech Coalition if you want to see these un-American, un-Constitutional laws overturned.

When we find a solution that doesn’t invade your privacy and put your precious data at risk, we may un-block your state.
