When I was planning The Upside Down Pineapple Community, I had big plans on how I wanted it to be. There were plans for members to be able to share their photos, have member created clubs (like mini sites within the site), blogs, etc., but many of you might not be aware that there are a number of states (currently 19) in an all out war against pornography, most under the guise of protecting children and preventing their exposure to adult oriented material. While I'm sure we are all for protecting children from being exposed to adult content, they have put into place some verification requirements, which I think are really just to be so restrictive that it will cause adult website to just close down. For one, they are requiring verification of a government ID, which requires a connection to a government database, that can verify the information on both the front and the back of the ID. Currently I know of no company that offers that at this time, and obviously when one does there will be some cost associated with it, to perform the check, so that is going to hurt a lot of sites. The second way is verifying ownership of property. Either way, this requires providing way too much personal information to the government about who is accessing pornography, especially when some of them are doing everything they can to do away with it (ie. Sen Dusty Deevers from Oklahoma who said “Pornography is both degenerate material and a highly addictive drug. It ruins marriages, ruins lives, destroys innocence, warps young people’s perception of the opposite sex, turns women into objects, turns men into objects, degrades human dignity, and corrodes the moral fabric of society. Any decent society will stand against this plague with the full weight of the law.”). This is the reason sites like PornHub have become unavailable in those states. So, where does that leave The Upside Down Pineapple Community? Well, it certainly puts a damper on how I planned the site, but I think as long as the site is run properly, we will not have any issues. There is definitely a need for it. A long running swingers community, that had been online for over 10 years, just went offline because of this issue, but I don't think it needed to. I think they just needed to be a little more cautious in how they ran the site, but instead they just disappeared. For now I am going to hold off on the other sections and leave things discussion only. The only images people can post for now will be avatars for their profiles, but we do ask that you do not post ANY nudity for now. I am sure these laws will get challenged in court sooner than later, and after their is some further clarification, I'm sure we will be able to open up the other sections as well.
