    The party of personal responsibility folks. Unable to filter their own devices or to guide their kids, pass the burden onto a 3rd party.

    VPN companies are now very happy.

    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.

    I wonder what percentage of the people involved in passing these laws have investments in the big porn companies that were threatened by PornHub.

      Given porn hub’s parent company owns pretty much all traditional porn companies, not that many.

      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

    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.

      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
