    There’s a phrase that used to be used to defend gun rights, ‘If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns.’

    If you make porn illegal only illegal porn will exist. They’re not eliminating porn they’re just shifting the source of porn to websites that don’t care about compliance with US laws.

        This is 100% true. Its like with weed. People will consume it. They don’t care if its illegal. Illegal weed only causes the black market to control everything and fuck up consumers.

          Marijuana is much easier to control as it is physical and lingers in the body. It is physical vs digital.

          You can copy and download data all day long. It is the same reason why banning encryption will not make encryption go away overnight.

              It literally isn’t. Weed leaves a trace everywhere it goes as it is a physical substance

                  Wet wipes are helpful if you’d rather not.

      I would be ENTIRELY unsuprised if we found out these state governments were full of people who bought a lot of VPN company stocks just before the news hit. Particularly Utah. It’s practically free money.
