Complain to your isp

I’m in a neighboring state and it’s about 50/50 that my ISP gives me an IP address that geolocates to NC. So right now I’m blocked from the site. I don’t go there often but it’s lame.

I can barely get them to provide basically adequate service that doesn’t meet the FCC definition of broadband. They won’t care, lol.

I understand you shouldn’t have to do this but Its insanely easy to use a vpn nowadays. Download and run , paid and unpaid

It also works the other way. A lot of people in state are going to have IP addresses that appear out of state.
All in all, using IP to establish a physical address is VERY imperfect. Especially if you’re targeting people over cellular networks or networks in larger commercial properties.
I look forward to watching people try to sue porn sites that are actively trying to block access to a state.
This is going to be a shit show. It’s a law passed by people who don’t understand the underlying tech.

How exactly would they have cause to sue? “I wasn’t able to wank, so I was harmed.”
Unless these are paying customers? But in that case, the ToS likely explicitly says PH has the right to pull access for any reason, or a specific list of reasons.
A company like PH has lawyers, guaranteed. They wouldn’t be making these moves if they weren’t absolutely certain they were covered legally. It’s not like it’s a mom and pop porn shop.

I meant that the state is going to be in court with PornHub, because PornHub is not able to fully comply with their dumb law.
