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.

    I don’t know economics, but is there a way to buy stocks in some VPN providers? Seems like they are about to do well.

      Yes - a stock exchange - but Florida is only a small part of the overall market and most people will just tolerate the ban.

        I mean, most websites will not respect the ban, so people will use those.

        Yeah, but how many VPN providers are public companies? I’m guessing not very many given the reporting requirements public companies face.

            Never said they were.

            That list of public companies mostly sell networking gear that you can use to configure VPNs. I don’t think that’s what the post I originally replied to was talking about. I think they were talking more about VPN service providers like NordVPN, ExpressVPN, PIA, ProtonVPN, etc.

              Those are companies that provide VPNs. Every product you just listed is also a legit business.
