    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.

          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.

      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

        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.

      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.

      I wish, I’d move there if they had half the benefits they do in the PRC. Universal healthcare, maternity leave, sick leave of multiple months, unions in all companies, workers councils in all corporations, rent controls, price controls… man, please let your comment come true.

        Taiwan has universal healthcare. China has a crappy employer based health care system.

      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…

      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.

    Traffic in truck stop bathrooms and motels near Sunday schools has spiked dramatically as the access to porn sites has gone down… Very weird coincidence.

      The fact that the law is hard to enforce doesn’t really make it better, IMO. It may be kind of worse, really - it makes the enforcement arbitrary. Everybody’s accessing porn illegally, so any time the police decide they don’t like you they can drum up some porn charges and actually pursue them.

        No it’s not illegal to access the porn, the porn sites are just required to “prove you’re over 18” using an approved mechanism, which in practice means a scan of a state ID. Porn sites rightly don’t want to touch that kind of PII with a 100 foot pole so are just blocking all access instead. Technically, they attempted to comply with the law exactly as the law requires so nothing illegal has occurred. Basically it’s a giant waste of everyone’s time and the only lasting impact is that VPN companies are loving this.

          Paid porn sites are loving it too because non-tech savy people that were getting free content are now resorting to pay sites.
