At the dawn of the new year, Pornhub will leave Florida. Thanks to a harsh new age verification law that takes effect on January 1, the porn giant will no longer do business in the sunshine state. The law mirrors similar laws passed in other Republican led states where Pornhub has stopped doing business.
Buy VPN stonks.
Possibly hard drive stocks too. If somehow, some way VPNs are banned in these states, you still might be able to ship an encrypted hard drive full of porn to someone.
This might be a long game to reinvigorate flash and optical media sales.
Vpns are used for business too they won’t be banned
Yeah I don’t know that it’s even possible to block VPNs from a technical perspective.
VPNs and other traffic redirection are so widely used in business that I don’t know how they could do that on a state by state basis.
For example, how is a sysadmin supposed to manage cloud machines without SSH, which can easily be used to circumvent content restrictions.
