      As a Virginian, I hadn’t subscribed to a VPN until our legislators decided to pull this shit.

      In addition, the porn business is hot right now! So many people just got cut off and are now paying for content.

      Unfortunately they’ll go after that next.

      I’m legitimately surprised at the number of pro-government control comments in this thread, though. We are truly doomed because of the people in the back.

        There’s also websites hosted in countries that don’t care about US law. We can access those even without a VPN, for now…

        I find it funny that the same people who are against government regulations and giving more power to the state are the ones voting for this. They also seem to be so poorly informed that they think it’ll stop anyone from watching this content lol.

          There’s gotta be a solution that leverages their unwavering support for the 4th amendment here. I mean a penis is basically a naturally occurring gun, already. You could almost certainly get a congressman to endorse porn in schools this way.

          Yeah, well that’s the thing: they like the idea of being against government regulations, but if it is presented to them as a moral issue, they eat it up.

          Case in point: a comment in this thread loosely trying to pose PH’s response as being against states’ rights – in this case, due to the states tacitly regulating morality. I’m sure if the issue was e.g. raising state taxes, all of a sudden states’ rights wouldn’t matter.

          The right wing learned a while ago that if you can pose anything as morality, there is a whole class of people that will simply lick the boot.
