If only there was some other place to get porn.
Yeah but this is Texas. One of the largest consumers of porn by state. Pornhub is the 6th most visited site in the US, just one spot behind Amazon. I'm sure at least some Texas politicians have decades old accounts accounts with all their favorites videos and probably paid access to creators, etc. Sure they won't be giving up their account username and telling everyone why they're doing it, but this gives them an excuse to call out the bullshit overreach and taking of frozen peaches. They can lie and say their constituents are the ones calling and demanding action. Actually a pretty smart move by Pornhub.
Texas loves to use words like "freedom" and "liberty", and make them synonomus with their values. Then they pass legislation to force women to give birth, and they ban porn.
Like... "y'all" really are fucking stupid down there (at least the conservatives.)
That's why they say "Don't make fun of Texas, it's not nice to pick on retards."
There was an article rating actual freedom in different states and they came in dead last.
I refuse to drive through Texas and I do not do layovers in Texas on the grounds that their supreme court supports road side cavity searches by law enforcement. Nothing Texas for me.
In other news, VPN sales in Texas skyrocket.
Maybe compared to previous usage, but I doubt that most of the population will use a VPN for that.
Imaging knowing how to VPN, but not knowing how to vote to keep your rights.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who know how to use a VPN, but their votes against this nonsense get drowned out because it is a red state.
All states are basically red states with islands of blue cities.
The party of "small government" strikes again
They want the government to be small so it can fit in your pants.
Classic Atlas shrugging moment.
