    stupid republicans. they were convinced that by putting the squeeze on pornhub they could dictate how that site operates when

    1. this isn’t the web 1.0 anymore. websites have been able to geoblock content for at least 20 years now

    2. vpns exist. it’s not going to stop people in texas from still visiting the site, nor is it the only free streaming porn site and

    3. unless a credit card or drivers license is required, age verification is easy to get around. “this content is restricted to adults 18 and over (21 in utah). by clicking yes you acknowledge that you are of legal age by penalty of perjury. are you 18? (yes) (no)”. I was on adult sites at 16.

    this law proves these people have no goddamned clue how the internet works.
