Guess its back to finding nudie mags in the woods like the old days.
Or finding suriving anime centric stores, one of my friends would get hentai at one since they didnt even question why a teenager was there so long as he bought something other than hentai. That is how he got into Bezerk.
When I was a kid I volunteered at the local recycling center. My hippie parents were so proud of my environmental consciousness lol.
So… wait. How will conservatives watch all their sister porn now?
by peeping through the blinds.
Remove the word porn and you probably have the answer.
Like any god fearing christian; by asking her first.
They would need to learn the meaning of consent first…
e621 was blocked in my state and… then they realized the law wasn’t being enforced and unblocked themselves
Maaan, you just made me look up what that was 😭
Bro this is on you, you had enough context clues to know this wasn’t worth pursuing
I know, just curious.
LMAO
This is asinine, even when internet access to porn didn’t exist people had so much porn, and they’ll continue to get it. All this does is shift the business elsewhere.
It highlights that their elected officials are messing with something they like. It is also a lot safer for the business to block a geographic area than deal with PII.
If they operate in those states they need to obtain proof of age. I don’t exactly know how that works, since I haven’t had to do it, but I imagine it is something like uploading a driver’s license picture. If you have all that personal information you have to protect it, or risk information disclosure and lawsuits. A porn favorites list and personal identity info together in the same system is just asking to be hacked.
Yeah pornhub seems pretty legitimate and safe these days.
All these bans do is force people to go to sketchier websites which don’t have as thorough vetting process for their videos and likely have a lot more illegal / harmful content.
Or VPN
The secret cabal of lobbyists actually responsible for the bans.

/s, in case it was really necessary
If it wasn’t for the level of utter incompetence and technophobia that politicians seem to radiate I would have genuinely bought into this idea. But there’s no way they would actually be bright enough to work a scheme like this out.
I don’t actually buy into the idea, but to play devil’s advocate a little more, the politicians don’t need to “be bright enough to work a scheme like this out”. The vpn industry lobbyists just need to tell them “hey it’d be really great if you banned porn: here’s a bill we wrote that you could use”, and then the pollies just need to go “yeah, sounds good.”
Yeah pornhub seems pretty legitimate and safe these days.
Yeah, they got threatened a few years ago with essentially banking cutting them off if they didn’t make a concerted effort to purge anything shady, which they achieved by purging basically all end-user uploads that weren’t verified models or studios.
I live in a state where it’s not banned and it’s so annoying when iCloud Relay routes through one of the states in the South. I need to turn iCloud Relay off and proceed.
on the bright side at least torrenting will become more mainstream 😅
That’s not a bright side
Edit, for those downvoting, you realise if there’s more torrenting there’ll be more incentive to stop torrenting
The pirates are undefeated when it comes to this internet shit lil bro. They’ll never stop them. There’s always a workaround.
Right, a workaround because bit torrent is no longer as useful - more work for everyone, change in tech, meanwhile the best trackers get taken out, users need to switch up trackers constantly, content gets fragmented, quality drops, old torrents get lost or everyone is left wondering wtf to do for 6-12 months until the new new thing takes over. Remind me why this is a good thing?
There’s ALWAYS a workaround!
Okay, nobody’s saying there isn’t a workaround, I’m saying torrenting becoming more mainstream isn’t good for pirates.
Torrenting has been around for just about forever, and was massively more popular/mainstream one to two decades ago than it is now. Trackers get taken down, but bittorrent endures.
Again, not saying bittorrent is going anywhere - just that going super mainstream isn’t making anything better. Ask people who were around during the heyday how much better torrenting has gotten since the likes of OG Demonoid, mininova, supernova, KAT, aXXo, YIFY even Rarbg got shut down or left the scene.
It is!
- Pirate Party
Sure, if you want more active work to block torrenting.
Good luck blocking p2p connections.
And when all the good trackers disappear how’re you planning on making those connections?
Seriously? The same way we did before trackers existed.
Usenet is an option, I’ll go back to IRC idgaf. They’ve tried to stop the scene since it’s inception with extremely limited success. When they cut one head off, two more (smarter ones) sprout in its place.
Now that we’re here, it’d be a worthwhile project to resurrect Gopher but route it all over Tor/i2p/Freenet/whatever as a gigantic fuck you to the powers that be. It’s light so it could potentially run mobile, r-pis, cloud, whatever.
And you see this as an improvement?
And yet when we pointed out that Project 2025 talked about banning porn, a lot of people didn’t think it was serious. This is just one way that such an idea can play out.
I don’t think porn could ever be fully banned - prohibition doesn’t work. (Besides, I already made a promise to create erotic art specifically in order to spite any such enacted law.) But considering how modern porn and its variety has enabled many people to acquire niche preferences, this is still going to trigger a challenging time for a lot of people.
If this plays out like it’s played out in other countries the only people who will actually be prevented from accessing pornography will be lawmakers, because they’ll be the only people not tech savvy enough to be able to circumvent the restrictions.
They’ll just offer their nephew some robux and a job in state legislature in exchange for a couple felonies
Would you like to share any of your art?
Yis, share art.

But how will the south watch all that transexual porn they love so much?
Side subject, sorry for my aside: I’m starting to really get annoyed at the censorship on my instance.
You can export all your subscriptions pretty easily so you can sign up to a different instance and import everything over. Check Lemmy settings.
Yeah, I’ve been a annoyed by this a time or two as well
I’m honestly curious what that porn fetish was that it was so bad to be censored. Anyone off-world able to enlighten me?
That would be porn featuring people who were born as a boy or a girl by mistake, and who have since tried to put that right. Rocky Horror Picture Show has a “sweet” song with the word which is apparently problematic.
It’s the short hand version of Transexual. Tran-ny is what got censored.
It was probably the lemmy.ml word filter, not lemmy.world
Looks uncensored to me on desktop.
edit: Wait, was it edited at some point?
I’m gonna guess original comment said tranny
Well your comment hasn’t been censored either.
I’m on a different instance, maybe only censors comments made on .world? No idea otherwise lol
How incredibly bizarre. Why is it even allowed to edit a post?
becuz, hooched awn foeneks werked faur mii.
Weird, I’m a .world account too and I see what the comment said just fine
Same here.
That is weird. Maybe it’s a federation issue, I’m not sure how it all works.
What client are you using? Maybe that’s the issue?
Boost for Lemmy. It’s an android app.
I’m also on boost, it shows fine for me. I don’t even see a setting to enable censoring an individual word in comments. Just posts.
Should look at others.
Unless you actually are a child who can’t handle reading magic words. Then you probably shouldn’t be online at all.Kinda strange that world blocks that word. I’m on a queer instance and I can still see that word, in fact I don’t think I have ever encountered any removed words on my instance.
I’m on .world and I see:
granted, it was edited an hour after irreticent posted their comment, and I can’t see what it said before. (possibly the OC originally wrote “removed”?)
That would be strange if Annisem literally wrote removed and then changed it to transexual later. Only reasons I can think of is that it was a bizarre attempt at trolling or they really did mean removed and then changed it because people thought it actually got removed. It’s also possible they did originally write a different word such as the t slur which they changed to transexual after seeing that what they originally wrote got removed.
I’m not sure that .world or lemmy at large even has that ability. normally mods would just yeet the entire comment.
It could have been an attempt at humor, or something. I dunno.
What I do know is that it’s not censored now.
Lemmy does have the capability and some instances use it. I’m not exactly sure how it works.
possibly the OC originally wrote “removed”?
That is a possibility. It all seems weird to me.
Agreed that’s weird, no question there, but I don’t think that’s on lemmy or .world. I’m pretty sure they don’t have the ability to censor specific words like that- the response from mods or admin would be to just remove the comment.
Let’s just be honest, censoring single words is stupid. For one thing, I guarantee you my imagination is going to fill in a much interesting alternative.
lemmy does have a regex based slur filter that replaces matched words with removed
this one was likely caught by lemmy.ml if it was indeed the variant ending in nny, as that one is in their slur filter.
17 US states are at the same level as Russia right now, when you look at pornhub blocked areas.
Picture conservative white southern men who never got their GED trying to frantically Google what a VPN is, because they’re missing their interracial porn before the Klan meeting that night.
Interracial gay porn. FTFY
Probably with femboys too
Furry interracial minor femboy porn. We all know all of that is popular with conservatives.
They won’t have public issues for them being a minor, that’s just expected at this point.
“Boy, I hope nobody finds out that I’m really just attracted to feminine aesthetics. They might make fun of me.”
Traffic in truck stop bathrooms and motels near Sunday schools has spiked dramatically as the access to porn sites has gone down… Very weird coincidence.
removed by mod
Too bad there aren’t other porn sites with massive libraries of content that apparently no one in power has noticed.
The states aren’t banning PornHub from being accessed there, PornHub are blocking themselves from being accessed from those states so as to not need to comply with new state laws requiring ID proof of age to access because they don’t want to handle personally identifying information of end users. So basically you’re just waiting for law enforcement to notice and charge them, and then find out if they’re run out of somewhere the state can reasonably do anything about it.
The Pirate Bay will always be with us.
I’m really sorry that you have to live in Indiana.
Love, an Illinoisian.
As a former Illinoisian, I’m sorry you live in Illinois.
Love, a Minnesotan.
Minnesota is sweet but Michiganders feel sorry for both of us
I won’t for too much longer, thankfully. Or the U.S. at all.
Congrats, where are you headed?
Thanks. The UK. I’m lucky in that I have dual citizenship. I can’t go until I get a job, but I’m hopeful I’ll get one before the end of the month.
That’s because all this is just pretence government. Now they can say “see? We’re blocking that evil porn!”, that’s all
Thought you’d already skipped across the pond?
No, I can’t go without a job. I have to be making over £22,000 a year domestically to get a family visa for my wife and kid and I also don’t particularly want to have to rely on the meagre savings and what we’ll get from selling my car to survive on first. But I am very optimistic about getting one by the end of the month based on responses so far. I can hop on a plane and go tomorrow if I need to now that I have my passport. That was the big holdup before.
I hope all goes well for you. I’ve been working on German dual citizenship, myself.
Thanks and good luck. I’m guessing that’s a lot harder to get.
You shouldn’t post things like this, what if people went and looked at that link and got around the porn hub ban? We wouldn’t want that
maybe add a note that the link is nsfw
I think you just added that note. I thought it was way too obvious to be necessary.
since you said porn sites (plural), i would have assumed it was a link to an article about the topic. e.g., an article saying something like “anti porn laws infringe on people’s right to privacy and don’t actually stop people from viewing porn”.
Lol, that sounds like a hastily made up lie from someone who just got caught looking at porn.
“I thought it was an aggregate website! It’s an honest mistake!”
“I wasn’t watching porn while at work, I was looking up where to find porn to watch while at work!”
i didn’t click the link, it was just what i assumed given that i’ve seen lots of people post news articles in the comment section and have never seen someone post a link to a porn site in the comment section.
“I thought it was a porn aggregator” is an interesting defense.
So Tumbler and Instagram when they first started out?
Lol I was about to click on the link before I read this. Thanks fren. At work rn now so that would’ve been bad.
Bookmarked for future reference🙏
