The number of states blocked by Pornhub will soon nearly double.

A little while ago I saw a map of the states where they colored in how likely a state is to pass anti-trans legislation. It was identical to Pornhubs map of how likely people in a state are to search for trans-porn. To the surprise of no one.
Pffftt... projection, schmojection.
Amiright guys?....
If you remove the porn from the internet, there will be one site left, and it will be called Bring Back The Porn.
Shit shit shit, this one's really rolling around. Dr cox? It feels Monty Python, but I'm hearing it in John C McGinley's over affected JD drawl.
It is Dr Cox
It is Dr Cox.
The porn will never even go away. Pornhub might be popular but it's a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the porn out there.
If you removed the porn from the internet, the very next day a hundred million people will all create their own new internet and finally have a noble purpose for their saved stashes.
Pornhub prepares to be accessed via VPN from five more states rather than check IDs
In all honesty i can only hope that this forces some people to increase their tech-savviness.
I miss the Internet when you needed to know wtf you were doing. Now everything is geared for easy, addictive consumption
I read somewhere that a lot of people don't even go to websites anymore, they just use apps for their social media and have no idea how to enter a web address or URL.
I feel like the last of a dying breed of mighty wizards because I can configure windows and know how to manage files.
It won't. The average person in America wants the fastest, easiest consumable distraction or pleasure reward and takes no time to learn new things unless it's dangled in front of them in bite-sized, easy-to-follow tutorials with quest-markers and all kinds of sparkles and chimes when they do something correctly.
They will go to some really terrible alternative that costs money. There are a hundred thousand porn sites right now hoping that they become the next big thing from all this.
Just as the state legislatures wanted. This lets them ban pornhub without having to fight with their citizens about banning pornhub.
That thumbnail is more like arse technica
If you live in a conservative run state, watch what they do, in Georgia on the final day of legislation they do "sine die" which we sometimes call sign or die day where they just push through a ton of shit with little or no going over it before hand, they passed one of these social media ID laws that targets porn too, and it went through without pretty much anybody knowing about it from what I can tell.
What kind of database of depravity to use against you are these people building.
Pornhub should block more states.
Right!? Make this the election that was decided by porn!
May every porn site block every republican-lead district this election season with a full-page message stating that this is a direct result of republican policy. Then link to voting resources.

Rape rates declined following the code spread availability of internet porn, I wonder if they will go higher in the stupid states (I live in one). Obviously, VPNs neuter the impact of the laws some, but not everyone is savvy enough to use them. I feel bad for adolescent boys.
