BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan — President Sadyr Japarov of Kyrgyzstan on Tuesday signed into law legislation outlawing online adult content in the country.

Kyrgyz news site 24.kg and other sources are reporting that Japarov signed the measure, titled “On Prohibition of Access to Sites Containing Pornographic Content Elements in the Internet Space of the Kyrgyz Republic,” which requires website operators to remove pornographic content within 24 hours of receiving a government request to do so, or face “suspension.”

Under the new law, the country’s Cabinet of Ministers will now also create a register of prohibited websites containing pornographic elements, access to which will be blocked throughout Kyrgyzstan.

As XBIZ reported, the Supreme Council of Kyrgyzstan passed the legislation in June.

It was already illegal to import, produce, distribute, or advertise pornographic materials or images in Kyrgyzstan. However, those laws previously did not apply to online content.

A background statement on the legislation declares, “Given the public accessibility of sites containing pornographic content on the internet, the emergence of an industry based on the distribution of pornography is destroying the spiritual, moral, and ethical form of people’s consciousness.”

RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina state legislature on Tuesday voted to override Gov. Josh Stein’s veto of a bill imposing regulations that industry observers have warned could push adult websites and platforms to ban most creators and content.

As XBIZ reported after the North Carolina state legislature passed HB 805, titled the “Prevent Sexual Exploitation of Women and Minors Act,” the bill — now state law — includes a requirement to verify performers’ ages and consent via a process that significantly exceeds federal record-keeping requirements under Section 2257.

It also mandates explicit written consent for each individual sexual act in which a performer engaged during the creation of the content, as well as separate consent for distribution of the content.

Further, under the new law, anyone appearing in adult content is entitled to withdraw their consent at any time, regardless of any legal contract they might have signed. The site or platform is then required to remove the content.

Industry advocates and stakeholders have warned that new law could create havoc in the adult industry by requiring an inaccessible level of documentation for previously published content and by effectively invalidating model contracts.

As XBIZ reported earlier this month, Gov. Josh Stein vetoed the bill — though his veto message revealed that his opposition to HB 805 had little to do with protecting the First Amendment rights of adult websites, and more to do with tacked-on provisions unrelated to the adult industry. Those provisions include sections targeting transgender rights and enabling parents to block school libraries from lending their children books of which they do not approve.

While the original votes on the bill fell short of the margin required to override a veto, legislators on Tuesday were able to summon up the requisite three-fifths of legislators in each house in order to override the governor’s veto, making the bill into state law.

LOS ANGELES — Natalia Starr stars with Danny Mountain in the latest release from New Sensations.

Directed by Paul Woodcrest, the scene opens with Starr in restraints and waiting for Mountain.

“Commanding, relentless, and in complete control, Danny doesn’t ask; he takes,” the synopsis reveals. “From the moment he enters the room, he makes it clear: Natalia is his to use, to please, to break down and build back up. And she wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Starr enthused about the scene.

“I definitely tested some of my boundaries,” she said. “I put my body in many different positions and felt a bunch of new sensations tinkle through my body. Danny Mountain explored my body and put me in my place, like a proper dom. Paul Woodcrest captured every passionate moment and every spank. I can’t wait for my fans to see me from a different light.”

The scene is streaming on NewSensations.

The scene features Gigi Rouge and Sunflower Doll.

“Sabien, clad in black latex and a strap-on, awaits Gigi and Sunflower,” said a rep. “When the two petite girls crawl toward her, Sabien licks and fingers their assholes.

She also describes her first shoot, shares her preference for group scenes, and reveals how her swinging lifestyle with her husband — who shoots and edits their videos — evolved into a professional career.
