- ipsum2 3y agoThe kids that are accessing pornhub are unlikely to be buying VPN subscriptions so maybe it's actually a win?
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoYeah, they'll find dodgier sites composed of even more illicit material hosted in places Texas can't reach. It's not like it's hard to find other sites by going to google and searching "porn".
- slothtrop 3y agoBasically this, it's been years now since Pornhub purged anonymous content (and by extension, pirated material), so anything that targets it is redundant.
- TillE 3y agoYeah the irony of the focus on PornHub is that 1) they were never any worse than the other dozen major sites which still accept anonymous uploads, and 2) they're now one of the most squeaky-clean porn sites out there.
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoI mean, as clean as you can be when you allow users to upload porn, but by forcing out those who adhere to the rules you instead empower those who don't.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoThey'll just go to to one of the million other sites that don't enforce this at all. Which may actually be worse, since many of those sites are far less scrupulous about sharing data and spreading malware.
- JamesBarney 3y agoAnd generally far less scrupulous around content.
- hbn 3y agoOr they go to Google images and type in “boobs”
- 0x457 3y agoYou assume that kids today know as much about technology than when you were their age. I can assure you - it's not the case. They might know what is VPN and how it works, but they do know how it install it from app store and avoid geo-restrictions.
- cyberge99 3y agoYou underestimate the creativity of highly motivated teenage boys searching for adult material.
- 0x457 3y agoI think you confused me with someone else. I'm saying this won't stop highly motivated teenage boys searching for adult material at all.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 3y agoEven if they don't know now, put an obstacle in their way and they quickly find a workaround. Hell, as a kid the we learned how to bypass bios password within a day, because me and my siblings very motivated indeed. The trick was to not let parents know that we knew. That part lasted a week. We got greedy. In other words, I am sure some kids will learn.
- 0x457 3y agoI'm sure they already know. I see people that I've least expected are using VPN providers all the time. It's a lot easier today than it was when I was a teenager. In my teenage days, VPN was only used for: corporate site-to-site, illegal activities. It all required a manual fragile setup. Today: download an app, launch that app.
- InitialLastName 3y agoI'm guessing that (just like actually happened when I was their age) one kid will figure it out (or read about it, or have an enabling parent tell them how to do it under the presumption of good reasons) and then tell all their friends how to do it.
- tinktank 3y agoNeed to look into connections between NordVPN and legislators methinks.
- 082349872349872 3y agoIf wars are God's way of teaching Americans geography, could it be that Texas legislators are simply God's way of teaching Texans about VPNs?
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoNow I'm interested in how many legislators bought stock in NordVPN.
- EForEndeavour 3y agoIt's not publicly traded :(
- throw_m239339 3y ago> More Texans will buy NordVPN subscriptions and the world will keep turning. It's a waste of legislation. Yes, them 13 yo buying NordVPN subscriptions massively...
