      live in the south, can confirm. Not on pornhub though, too vanilla for my tastes. Redgifs got unblocked, but their site sucks so much ass I’d prefer that they stayed blocked.

    This is dumb. Any decent VPN will provide exit nodes in non restricted states. Getting around this block is trivial

      It’s not trivial for most. In a space like lemmy? Sure, easy money. I have a Digital Ocean droplet out of Amsterdam, had it for years, $5 a month. No one here is impressed.

      The vast majority of people have no clue what a VPN is. Stop 100 people on the street. Bet <1% can say what the acronym stands for, let alone how or why one is used.

        Id say more people would know they have a vpn and what its for than people who could tell you what it stands for.

        Like average people knowing they have DNA and what it does but cant tell you what its an acronym for.

    Florida also “blocked” kids under 14 from social media. My 12-yo and I had a solid laugh.

    This all may turn out to be a good thing! Kids will learn more about security and internet!

    LOL sounds like a thinly veiled effort to get more good ol’ boys to go fight for Russia. North Korean soldiers there are going crazy over porn, after having restricted internet access their whole lives.

    I don’t think I give a shit if kids see porn.

    If that’s the thing we’re worried about, and the price of dealing with it is strangling privacy, then the problem is not worth solving.

    There’s a lot worse on the internet. There’s a lot worse on daytime television. Blood and guts and cults and informercials. Desirable crude entertainment is obviously not worth locking down the internet. I mean for fuck’s sake, at least with “four horsemen” excuses, like terrorism and money laundering, we agree that those things are bad.

      States are requiring age verification by giving your id. Sites like PH just said nah and block you from viewing the site if you’re in one of those states.
