So… wait. How will conservatives watch all their sister porn now?
by peeping through the blinds.
Remove the word porn and you probably have the answer.
Like any god fearing christian; by asking her first.
They would need to learn the meaning of consent first…

I live in a state where it’s not banned and it’s so annoying when iCloud Relay routes through one of the states in the South. I need to turn iCloud Relay off and proceed.
Remember when conservatives complained about the nanny state?
Always just an excuse to get rid of the things they don’t like, such as social security.
They absolutely want to regulate you on a federal level. They just want to decide which things get enforced/funded, and which should be left to the states/community/church, or what they really mean, nothing.
They want to control you on everything.
That’s not enough butter for that, that’s too much gay for this. They never wanted small government. They always wanted big government with the exact same ideals they have.
“You have too much pep in your step! 5 lashings for you!”
I’m sorry, pep is now regulated by gender and age. Oh, and if you’re young enough, please see the pastor or congressman in his office.
Republicans love big government, they just want the same or more power concentrated amongst less people. They’re all about that shit.
Literally 1984
One of the things that stuck out to me while reading in school was the sexual frustration part
How utterly bizarre.
Malicious intentions. They’re trying to normalize internet ID laws.
I hope PH is putting a list with the names of the representatives who are responsible for this on the home page for those states. With phone numbers and mail addresses of the reps offices.
They saw what happened to NC governor candidate. They made it illegal for anyone in the future NOT to use a VPN.
How would a VPN have helped a dude who used the same handle for a porn forum and other sites he personally identified himself on?
OOTL, what happened?
On a black fetish site he was talking about how he was a black racist and wish they still had slavery so he could own some black women.
Picture conservative white southern men who never got their GED trying to frantically Google what a VPN is, because they’re missing their interracial porn before the Klan meeting that night.
Interracial gay porn. FTFY
Probably with femboys too
Furry interracial minor femboy porn. We all know all of that is popular with conservatives.
They won’t have public issues for them being a minor, that’s just expected at this point.
“Boy, I hope nobody finds out that I’m really just attracted to feminine aesthetics. They might make fun of me.”

Thought you’d already skipped across the pond?
No, I can’t go without a job. I have to be making over £22,000 a year domestically to get a family visa for my wife and kid and I also don’t particularly want to have to rely on the meagre savings and what we’ll get from selling my car to survive on first. But I am very optimistic about getting one by the end of the month based on responses so far. I can hop on a plane and go tomorrow if I need to now that I have my passport. That was the big holdup before.
I hope all goes well for you. I’ve been working on German dual citizenship, myself.
Thanks and good luck. I’m guessing that’s a lot harder to get.
I’m really sorry that you have to live in Indiana.
Love, an Illinoisian.
I won’t for too much longer, thankfully. Or the U.S. at all.
Congrats, where are you headed?
Thanks. The UK. I’m lucky in that I have dual citizenship. I can’t go until I get a job, but I’m hopeful I’ll get one before the end of the month.
As a former Illinoisian, I’m sorry you live in Illinois.
Love, a Minnesotan.
Minnesota is sweet but Michiganders feel sorry for both of us
Bookmarked for future reference🙏
You shouldn’t post things like this, what if people went and looked at that link and got around the porn hub ban? We wouldn’t want that
Too bad there aren’t other porn sites with massive libraries of content that apparently no one in power has noticed.
The states aren’t banning PornHub from being accessed there, PornHub are blocking themselves from being accessed from those states so as to not need to comply with new state laws requiring ID proof of age to access because they don’t want to handle personally identifying information of end users. So basically you’re just waiting for law enforcement to notice and charge them, and then find out if they’re run out of somewhere the state can reasonably do anything about it.
The Pirate Bay will always be with us.
maybe add a note that the link is nsfw
Lol I was about to click on the link before I read this. Thanks fren. At work rn now so that would’ve been bad.
I think you just added that note. I thought it was way too obvious to be necessary.
since you said porn sites (plural), i would have assumed it was a link to an article about the topic. e.g., an article saying something like “anti porn laws infringe on people’s right to privacy and don’t actually stop people from viewing porn”.
Lol, that sounds like a hastily made up lie from someone who just got caught looking at porn.
“I thought it was an aggregate website! It’s an honest mistake!”
i didn’t click the link, it was just what i assumed given that i’ve seen lots of people post news articles in the comment section and have never seen someone post a link to a porn site in the comment section.
“I thought it was a porn aggregator” is an interesting defense.
So Tumbler and Instagram when they first started out?
“I wasn’t watching porn while at work, I was looking up where to find porn to watch while at work!”
That’s because all this is just pretence government. Now they can say “see? We’re blocking that evil porn!”, that’s all
Now they can all rest easy that their liitle romps with their sister-cousins won’t be seen by the rest of the family
Ya see, up north, we believe in a lil thang called FREEDOM! 😎
Ahem, good Internet person. In the south, freedom is going STRONG. It is taking away jobs, revenue (ex:PorhHub), medication, rights, health, safety, life, and freedom. Er…ah…um…
Can they access the hundred other porn sites?
From the article:
As of today, Florida, Tennessee, and South Carolina join the list of 17 states that can’t access some of the most popular porn sites on the internet, because of regressive laws that claim to protect children but restrict adults’ use of the internet, instead.
Yes, I saw that. It doesn’t change my question.
My interpretation is that they’re targeting the major players for lawsuits and ignoring the small fish. I could be wrong though.
Looks like the big-name ones are either complying with the ID law or self-blocking like Pornhub. Smaller ones are operating as normal for now.
I actually just checked after seeing this post, no ID requirement popping up in Tennessee for whatever reason. I also realized I don’t believe I had ever typed pornhub.com into a browser before until now. If somehow i had ever been there it was from search engine results I guess, never knew they had a main page.
Tfgames.site (not a commercial site, but a database of adult videogames involving physical transformations) stopped allowing access to IPs geolocated to at least some states due to similar laws, ID or no.
“Involving physical transformations”
Thanks. It’s interesting seeing them blocked like this, considering how influencial the porn industry was for decades.
(My spell check is failing me for influence al)influential
Thaaank you. I had the i and a reversed
This is asinine, even when internet access to porn didn’t exist people had so much porn, and they’ll continue to get it. All this does is shift the business elsewhere.
It highlights that their elected officials are messing with something they like. It is also a lot safer for the business to block a geographic area than deal with PII.
If they operate in those states they need to obtain proof of age. I don’t exactly know how that works, since I haven’t had to do it, but I imagine it is something like uploading a driver’s license picture. If you have all that personal information you have to protect it, or risk information disclosure and lawsuits. A porn favorites list and personal identity info together in the same system is just asking to be hacked.
Yeah pornhub seems pretty legitimate and safe these days.
All these bans do is force people to go to sketchier websites which don’t have as thorough vetting process for their videos and likely have a lot more illegal / harmful content.
Or VPN
The secret cabal of lobbyists actually responsible for the bans.

/s, in case it was really necessary
If it wasn’t for the level of utter incompetence and technophobia that politicians seem to radiate I would have genuinely bought into this idea. But there’s no way they would actually be bright enough to work a scheme like this out.
I don’t actually buy into the idea, but to play devil’s advocate a little more, the politicians don’t need to “be bright enough to work a scheme like this out”. The vpn industry lobbyists just need to tell them “hey it’d be really great if you banned porn: here’s a bill we wrote that you could use”, and then the pollies just need to go “yeah, sounds good.”
Yeah pornhub seems pretty legitimate and safe these days.
Yeah, they got threatened a few years ago with essentially banking cutting them off if they didn’t make a concerted effort to purge anything shady, which they achieved by purging basically all end-user uploads that weren’t verified models or studios.
So what I’m reading is that VPN business is going to continue to thrive. But that also is an age limit hurdle, I suppose.
Eh. Until the state does lots of IP blocking of foreign websites outside of their jurisdiction, there will always be a way.
proton VPN has some free locations, haven’t used the free version in a while because I switched to paid mullvad but iirc they’re: Switzerland, USA, Canada, Taiwan, Germany (I think?)
The servers are free but slower and you can’t torrent on them.
