    Canada saw what was happening in the US South and decided the they need a friend. Canada is the process of passing their own “Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography Act”.

    I feel like if there was some type of course that would teach young people about sex and porn in a healthy manner. We could call it “sex education”. This would be far better use of tax payers money instead of knee jerk bans and overreaching privacy violations.

      I wish, I’d move there if they had half the benefits they do in the PRC. Universal healthcare, maternity leave, sick leave of multiple months, unions in all companies, workers councils in all corporations, rent controls, price controls… man, please let your comment come true.

        Taiwan has universal healthcare. China has a crappy employer based health care system.

      Ahem, good Internet person. In the south, freedom is going STRONG. It is taking away jobs, revenue (ex:PorhHub), medication, rights, health, safety, life, and freedom. Er…ah…um…

    So what I’m reading is that VPN business is going to continue to thrive. But that also is an age limit hurdle, I suppose.

      Eh. Until the state does lots of IP blocking of foreign websites outside of their jurisdiction, there will always be a way.

      proton VPN has some free locations, haven’t used the free version in a while because I switched to paid mullvad but iirc they’re: Switzerland, USA, Canada, Taiwan, Germany (I think?)
      The servers are free but slower and you can’t torrent on them.

    It would be a great time to be a VPN company right now.

    Edit: On second thoughts, this is great, because it normalizes VPN usage too

      Not for long, with Net Neutrality forever murdered yesterday, ISPs will soon be blocking VPNs with aplomb and pushing their own. The whole Internet will become airplane WiFi.

        Honestly? Probably not. Pornhub is far and away the best porn site out there in terms of selection, ease of use, speed, and most importantly, they have the least annoying ads of any porn site I’ve ever been to. Other porn sites really don’t even come close

      That’s not a bright side

      Edit, for those downvoting, you realise if there’s more torrenting there’ll be more incentive to stop torrenting

        The pirates are undefeated when it comes to this internet shit lil bro. They’ll never stop them. There’s always a workaround.

          Right, a workaround because bit torrent is no longer as useful - more work for everyone, change in tech, meanwhile the best trackers get taken out, users need to switch up trackers constantly, content gets fragmented, quality drops, old torrents get lost or everyone is left wondering wtf to do for 6-12 months until the new new thing takes over. Remind me why this is a good thing?

              Okay, nobody’s saying there isn’t a workaround, I’m saying torrenting becoming more mainstream isn’t good for pirates.

                Torrenting has been around for just about forever, and was massively more popular/mainstream one to two decades ago than it is now. Trackers get taken down, but bittorrent endures.

                  Again, not saying bittorrent is going anywhere - just that going super mainstream isn’t making anything better. Ask people who were around during the heyday how much better torrenting has gotten since the likes of OG Demonoid, mininova, supernova, KAT, aXXo, YIFY even Rarbg got shut down or left the scene.

    Traffic in truck stop bathrooms and motels near Sunday schools has spiked dramatically as the access to porn sites has gone down… Very weird coincidence.
