VPN companies are now very happy.
XVideos also.
Perhaps the easiest way to evade state age verification laws is by using a VPN to mask a user’s location.
Proof no one looks past the 3rd search result.
Proof no one looks past the 3rd search result.
Do you mean third page?
I think they’re saying that if you look past the first 3 results, then you may find something that isn’t blocked.
Well shit, I set my VPN to Texas, xnxx and xvideos outrank pornhub if you search porn. Looks like you got to go to the 3rd result to be blocked.
That makes sense.
Further research reveals that pornhub is now the 3rd result to 2 unblocked sites. Google solved the problem.
The party of personal responsibility folks. Unable to filter their own devices or to guide their kids, pass the burden onto a 3rd party.
Tell me what rule I broke by linking to a legitimate VPN service?
To be fair, this is probably the only VPN I would trust, just the fact that you can mail them an envelope with cash to pay for your subscription tells me that they are putting the effort in to make sure their customers stay anonymous
What was the VPN service mentioned? The comment you replied to got removed.
It was Mullvad
XVideos will love this.
At first I thought “yeah but there are other sites out there.” But then it occurred to me that most of people this will affect probably don’t know that. And it only escalates with the age of people too.
Children are safe now. Mission Accomplished.
Are you serious or sarcastic?
How is pornhub a danger to children? Parents should guide what children see on the net, not the government.The comment you replied to was dripping so hard with sarcasm that it didn’t need a warning sign, kinda like when there is a house on fire, you don’t need a warning sign that a house is a blaze.
No it’s not, lots of religous people would say exactly the same.

How hard is it to follow such a comment with a /s ?
I went to a church with a friend and more than one guy started talking to me about their porn addiction… it was bizarre
I don’t understand. They wanted my advice and all I could say was just don’t watch it if it bothers them.
But it’s an ADDICTION, they can’t help themselves!! They wanted to be told if they pray, then surely Jesus will forgive them.
Ablaze, even.
Honestly, Ive come to think that there is truly no such thing as sarcasm so blatant as for everyone to get that it is sarcasm without being told.
I forget the name, but this is a proven and observable phenomenon.
and speaker johnson. remember that his kid monitors his phone usage and gets alerts when dad goes somewhere ‘good’
I wonder what percentage of the people involved in passing these laws have investments in the big porn companies that were threatened by PornHub.
Nah, I’d put more money on they invested in VPN companies, or at the very least, the age verification companies.
Like Rick Scott in Florida trying to (or maybe did) force welfare recipients into drug testing through companies his wife owned - https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/17/us/rick-scott-conflicts-blind-trust.html
Given porn hub’s parent company owns pretty much all traditional porn companies, not that many.
At this point just let the kids into the porn sites. Like for gods sake I’m so fucking tired of this.
