This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Fortunately, this is easy to work around, just get a VPN hosted in a didn't different state or country.
We have something similar here in Utah, so I have a WiFi network that is always connected to a VPN in a neighboring state. If something isn't accessible, I just swap WiFi networks and I'm good.
Honestly, these laws are just gonna hurt old men in Republican states. Like, I grew up with piracy, torrents, and old school forums. These educated me on computers enough that I made a career out of it. And most of that computer knowledge was gained because I wanted to see big tittied women sit on each other's faces. These laws don't stop horny teens from accessing porn. It just makes them better at it.
And this is definitely not one of the cases of "oh it'll reduce numbers overall though". No the fuck it won't. It's porn. They're gonna access it. Literally every YouTuber they watch is sponsored by a VPN.
The only healthy thing to do is actually talking to your kids about porn. Educating them on its potential harms. But Republicans don't ever want to talk to their kids. Ironically, these "drain the swamp" people just want daddy government to "prevent" their kids from accessing it. Which these laws don't do.
These laws don’t stop horny teens from accessing porn. It just makes them better at it.
Exactly. And it punishes the responsible sites that follow the law and drives people to the sketchier sites that don't.
If you want more viruses and identity theft, I guess this is a good law for you.
The whole porn ban thing is probably my all-time favorite example of conservatives voting against themselves.
Meanwhile, in California, I can watch all the porn I want without registering myself in a database and walk down the street to the weed store. And the women in my life still have rights over their own bodies.
So I guess Democrats are actually the party of freedom.
One of my fave porn vids got affected though.

It’s all relative. Lots of personal freedom, taxed like a mother fucker.
As it should be honestly but there are many people that don’t see it that way and view taxation as a form of oppression.
B- b- but, California b-b-bad! 🥺 Don't you see how oppressed you are? You're really oppressed out there. 🥺
California is bad for voting to keep prison slavery and refusing to solve the housing crisis with a council housing system much like the UK used to have.
who would've guessed
Me: This is America.
Pornhub: This content is not available in your state due to ID verification legislation.
My VPN: This is Germany.
Eh, no need for crazy latency, just get one in Colorado or something nearby.
My favorite small example of this is trying to watch a video on YouTube. If my VPN is set to United States then im told 'You can't watch this unless you log in.'
I switch to Germany and like magic the video plays. So clearly they didn't need to confirm I wasn't a bot. They just wanted to track my viewing habits.
This is a great opportunity to learn how to use a VPN! I'm in a blue state so haven't needed one yet, but the time is definitely coming.
Yup, my red state pulled this nonsense, so I made a WiFi network that connects to a VPN for you in a less stupid state. If I get blocked somewhere, I just change WiFi networks.
Nowadays, there's not much to learn. For user-friendly OSes, just install the VPN app, sign in like any other service, and, at a minimum, hit "go". Most people will want to scroll through a list of locations of where they want to appear to be, choose a location, then hit "go".
