Pornhub Is Now Blocked In Almost All of the U.S. South

https://www.404media.co/pornhub-is-now-blocked-in-almost-all-of-the-u-s-south/

As of today, three more states join the list of 17 that can't access Pornhub because of age verification laws.

If you hit a paywall, here is an archived link.

I'm predicting that many American wankers are now searching "how to setup/use a vpn" after this

Edit:
yall aren't wrong in that alternatives are probably being visited but don't forget that this sets a precedence. Most users will almost certainly go for path of least resistence and go to alternative/more unscrupulous sites.

Tech savvy users, if they see the parallels with 1984 censorship and Sony's anime monopoly/control of power, will probably go for the vpn route as it'll be more reliable for the long game. As VPN's are operating system agnostic and not too complicated would most not even consider this option? Hard to say but I wouldn't rule it out.

Surely it's easier to just navigate to one one of the infinite amount of alternatives?

Lol .... it might mean uneducated, technically unaware southerners will suddenly find the motivation to learn how to use a computer and the internet.

Surely they're all enjoying the new freedom that right-wing policies have provided them.

If phub is so strictly moderated, why is there no way to filter out all the incest/step family stuff?
