    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.

        The secret cabal of lobbyists actually responsible for the bans.

          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, 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.
