North Carolina and Montana, why you so dumb?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

As a NC resident, especially in IT, this is just dumb. Even the built-in VPN in Opera bypasses it. Any reasonably smart kid will figure it out. This is just theater.

So what are they gonna do? Figure out how to bill companies all over the world for not knowing their local bullshit and accommodating it? Fucking clowns.

I suspect that long term, if more states keep end up passing laws about this, it might drive people away from dedicated sites for this content and towards pages made for it on social media type platforms instead. These laws tend to stipulate that they apply only when a certain percentage of a website is adult content (for obvious reasons I imagine, if just one instance was enough to apply then they'd apply to basically any platform with user generated content, since people are inevitably going to try to post it), which leaves the very obvious work around of just mixing it into a site that also contains mostly other types of content.

People will just go to XVideos.

Or any other myriad of porn sites, or torrents, or usenet, or still pornhub via VPN...

e621 is gone as well, so I bought a month of ProtonVPN, here's hoping that'll be enough.
