      Boobies can cause pleasure which is bad for nazi power grabbing.

        The hard part is the usage of one gives it away unless the average person is using those bypasses.

    They’re probably upset the annual Pornhub report keeps putting out that they jerk it to trans people. More than anyone else.

      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.

        What are these other sites? Asking so I can be sure to avoid them of course.

    In totally unrelated news, VPN services are thriving and have many other useful features.

    This legislative session is sponsored by NordVPN. Staying safe online is an ever growing difficulty and you could be exploited by hackers. NordVPN allows you to change your IP address, making you harder to track, securing your privacy. Check out the link in the footnotes to get 20% off for the first two months and thank you to NordVPN for sponsoring this law.

      It is much bigger. This is the strategy for closing the last bastion of democracy on the anonymous freedom internet. By normalizing identification, it sets the legal precedent needed to force it upon everyone. Normalizing the behavior in the idiot South means they will fall in line like the zombies they stereotypically are when the main legislation is pushed through.

      I keep seeing these jokes, but the very obvious next step is the ban vpns. They’re absolutely going to do that. They already want to. Authoritarians hate vpns.

    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.

      Interestingly, but Pornhub is not blocked in Russia. It just asks for age verification by vk(vkontakte) account on the main page if you open it from Russia. But unfortunately, those who do not have such an account will not be able to enter or they will need to use a vpn. :)

      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.
