- "In evil red China they block certain sites on the internet, they have no freedom"
vs
- "Blocking these sites is defending our Christian values and protecting people from the evils of sex"
You jest, but I'm pretty sure the US was designed to be as intentionally boring as possible because these idiots want to "save us" from even kissing someone at a bar, look at car culture and cities being JUST for the rich.
Other top porn sites also block Texas after Pornhub did.
Texas passed a law that says every porn site has to scan government IDs of every visitor to verify the age of every person that views the website. Texas says that citizens of Texas can sue porn sites for not doing this. America doesn't have a good federal ID system. Every state has different IDs. Porn sites don't have the technology to scan Texas IDs of every visitor. Logically every porn site is going to block Texas so that they don't get sued.
I'm in North Carolina which also passed a similar law and most of the porn sites are blocked if I try to access them. Xvideos is not blocked for whatever reason.
Imagine being a millennial chanlord in the Texas government and having to explain to some 75 year old geriatric what "hentaihaven" is.
We hunted the buffalo to near extinction, and when we invented the Internet, we nearly eradicated “woods porn” too. But as I mentioned before, street dudes need to unload too.
