      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.

          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!”

      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.

      That’s because all this is just pretence government. Now they can say “see? We’re blocking that evil porn!”, that’s all
