I don’t recall being given the option to vote on this.
It would have been during your last state elections, the option with the little “R” next to its name.
It’s no secret that conservatives want to ban porn for whatever reason.
They mean if they voted trump or for the current admin of the state.
Imagine being so stupid that you think Pornhub is the only place to get porn.
It isn't the only place, but it is one of the few where the content is somewhat searchable on top of just having a very large amount of content.
Plus people like to stick with what they know.
Have you met the general population?
Lol yeah, they’ve been out of TX for some time now, and it hasn’t affected my fapping habits one bit.
I’m pretty sure PornHub is just the most well-known example and they happen to own something like 5 others of the top ten most visited porn sites on the net.
No shock at all.
Understandable
In other news, today is “no shit” day.
The key with a VPN is to buy long term. I got a black friday deal for Proton last year that comes out to two dollars and pennies a month.
Luckily, you can type VPN
entirely with one had.
V….P….Nnnnnnnghhh
Just like “Brazzers”. I wonder if they did it on purpose.
I mean, I sure love connections and encryption, but it doesn’t have that effect on me

What a horribly shitty place to live.
I left about a decade ago. Best decision of my life.
looking to ditch hotmail after 25 years, noticed proton also offers vpn, may as well get that, i live in a red state
Proton, in my opinion, make the best VPN for people who need both mobile device support and port forwarding so they can be a good citizen with all those linux ISOs they torrent. I don’t use their desktop client (I prefer to rawdog OpenVPN and Wireguard) but people like those.
Proton’s email is dogshit. Don’t get me wrong, it is awesome for making burners that many websites don’t insta-block (although that is shifting). But you don’t own your data unless you regularly run their nonsense client to tunnel into their servers. So if Proton goes shit tomorrow? All your emails are gone. Not a HUGE issue if you regularly fetch those but… yeah.
I’ve been backburnering it for other reasons but folk like (Not That) Will Smith and many others have been very big supporters of Fastmail and, looking at it, it seems pretty nice. And it fits my use case of using an email address at a domain I own so that I can just move between services depending on pricing and how evil corporations are in a given month.
No one gives a single flying fuck about owning their email generally. The number of people who actually care about that aspect basically can be counted on one hand compared to the total number of even technical people who understand what that means.
But you don’t own your data unless you regularly run their nonsense client to tunnel into their servers. So if Proton goes shit tomorrow? All your emails are gone. Not a HUGE issue if you regularly fetch those but… yeah.
Tbf most people don’t download offline copies, they just let all their email live on their provider’s servers and never think twice.
Personally, I’ve used either Outlook or Gmail since 2000 and haven’t ever had an issue getting access to my emails.
I imagine using the TOR browser would work as well.
It does, but can open a whole other can of worms…
You’ll probably be unable to use it for major sites due to how much it’s blocked due to abuse coming through Tor exit nodes.
Did you know the “hub” had a official onion mirror? It was back in 2020. i really hope they bring that back. afaik they never made a V3 onion address.
If VPNs get outlawed for some reason in AZ, Tor is another option. Make sure you download it from their site sonce there are fake Tor apps in the playstores
I mean if they ban pornhub they’ll go after everything else so best get a VPN now.

Every single one of you idiots is fine with paying extra to access a free service. VPN! VPN! Gotta have a VPN to fool everyone!
You didn’t need a VPN before, because religious nazis have to control every single fucking thing. Control that porn! Control that “R” rated movie! Control those words in songs! Control the words in books! All religious movements.
Stop supporting religions, you stupid fucks. Requring a VPN is just saying that poor people don’t get free porn, because they can’t afford a VPN. Which is yet another thing that religious dickheads do.
If you’re religious - FUCK YOU!

The big downsides are:
I could go on and on. And nothing about the above has anything to do with porn.
