“Leading VPN provider Top10 VPN claims demand from VPN services jumped 275% on March 15, the same day Pornhub cut off access in Texas.”
Age verification laws make every adult hand over ID to watch porn, so adults route around them. Top10 VPN reports one state’s surge hit 847% on the day its law took effect. Texas threatens fines of up to $10,000 a day, and Utah’s law already bans helping minors bypass restrictions. The laws protect nobody’s kids, build a database of who watched what, and set up the next fight over banning VPNs.
