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.

maybe add a note that the link is nsfw
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!”
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’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
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
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.
The Pirate Bay will always be with us.
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.
That’s because all this is just pretence government. Now they can say “see? We’re blocking that evil porn!”, that’s all
17 US states are at the same level as Russia right now, when you look at pornhub blocked areas.
Paywalled article
Paywalled articles can be easily bypassed by archiving the page. archive.is works well.
And by using uBlock Origin.

I guess the South is going to have a harder time rising now.
Welp. back to working on them thar siblings and relatives then.
“Almost All” Missouri bootheel strikes again!
How utterly bizarre.
Malicious intentions. They’re trying to normalize internet ID laws.
The Red States are turning into the fucking PRC. Carry on…
PRC?
Porn of the Republic of China.
The People’s Republic of China
China
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.
This and no need to keeo up with the news becase who gives a fuck as you can’t vote anyway, just goon, play games and work :)
Oh and they have great trains.
play games
All’s fun and games until your opponent messages “Tiananmen Square 1989 Winnie the Pooh”
I’d move there if they had half the benefits they do in the PRC. Universal healthcare,
Taiwan has universal healthcare. China has a crappy employer based health care system.
Hahahaha
Oh shit you’re serious.
.ml users have hilarious takes until you realize they actually think that way.
BTW, they have their own challenges some not dislike the USA, all countries do. Just be careful and stay sane!
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…
Literally 1984
One of the things that stuck out to me while reading in school was the sexual frustration part
We need a modern day Larry Flynt.
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.
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.”
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.
Blocked. But far from inaccessible lol
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.
