Pornhub Is Pulling Out of Florida
gizmodo.com
Starting January 1, Floridians can no longer legally come to Pornhub.

At the dawn of the new year, Pornhub will leave Florida. Thanks to a harsh new age verification law that takes effect on January 1, the porn giant will no longer do business in the sunshine state. The law mirrors similar laws passed in other Republican led states where Pornhub has stopped doing business.

        You could ban them from mainstream marketplaces. If you remove them from the apple store and play store, they’re gonna struggle, even if you still have F-Droid. If they ban hosting source code, maybe some federated git servers and maybe even gitlab will hold strong, but github will roll over like an obedient dog because it’s owned by Micro$oft. Some people will fight for it, but if VPNs lose 75% of their revenue, we will all suffer.

        I honestly don’t know enough about it but I’m sure there’s a way, maybe get isp’s to flag traffic going to known vpn servers and fine them if they connect users or something like that?

        Why, is it impossible or difficult to enforce?

          Not sure, that’s why I asked out of curiosity. But I would assume so; it’s very easy to get WireGuard setup on a Raspberry PI or just about any SBC. For example, you could setup a SBC with a usb WiFi adapter, travel to a state where VPNs aren’t banned, connect to public WiFi and with a little additional config (changing ports), you’re good to go.
