From the article: “Unsurprisingly, this skyrocketed searches for the best VPNs. According to a SlashGear report sent to Mashable, searches for “Texas VPN” jumped by 1,750 percent in the past day. It also spotted a 1,600 percent increase for the phrase “How to access Pornhub.””
I think at this point pornhub knows lots of its users are children. Because when the Louisiana state government required them to also do this there was no push back from PH I live in LA and when ever you want to access the site it has you verify with ID. Them disableding their site completely in Texas is a way of trying to make sure other states don’t follow in the same direction. There are lots of privacy problems with storing peoples IDs but then also watch porn isn’t a necessity.
