You're putting a lot of faith in people from these states understanding computers.

Louisiana here. Articles have already shown a massive surge in VPN searches/downloads in Louisiana and Utah. Paint with broad strokes all you want, Millennials and Gen Z are generally not computer illiterate lol they will absolutely get around this.

Sorry, I just meant that as a joke. Good to hear people are adapting. And VPNs are great for privacy protection and not just porn, especially as more extreme laws are getting pushed through.

Never underestimate the creativity of a desperate man looking for a wank

I suspect it's a conspiracy to generate more babies with families (Or not families per se) that can't afford them. In order to perpetuate a supply of cheap, uneducated labor. banning porn will remove an outlet for for horny folks... banning contraceptives will make people more likely to get pregnant. banning abortions will force mothers to carry to term, leading to... perpetuated poverty.

DING DING DING! WE HAVE A WINNER! That's exactly what the Republicans want. They are fully well aware that they don't represent the average educated voter's interests. Therefore, the best way to stay in power is to perpetuate poverty, ignorance, lack of healthcare, suffering, anger, and misguided hate towards fellow neighbors. This keeps them in power.

So sick of these Puritanical laws dictating for all. And it’s not even just the Republicans. In Virginia, it was both sides supporting it. Good on PornHub for pushing back, but watch this shit become a domino effect.

I’ve had this conspiracy theory that Reddit saw the writing on the wall and plans to ban NSFW altogether. The first step was forcing users to their app and banning 3rd-party apps. Wild to see this come up in the news.

The ONLY porn site that seemed to be effected is pornhub. You know the one that verifies actors to prevent revenge porn and showing children. You know which porn sites still don’t bother checking your ID? Every other one in the world.

Oh it gets dumber. In order to view other websites, in Virginia they want you to allow access to your webcam so that an unknown third party can determine if you look to be over 18.
