What problem has disappeared? There are still millions of porn sites accessible by Utahans of any age, no?
(This is a genuine question. I’m not trying to be snippy, or even to disagree, just seeking clarification).
- matteoraso 3y agoYes, but I imagine that other porn sites are going to block Utah as well. That being said, nothing's really going to change unless Utah bans VPNs as well.
- toyg 3y agoWebsites that already flaunt the law (typically on copyright, but also on adult content distribution) because they're not US-based, will continue to do so. Only US-based operations will go to the trouble of blocking Utah. Which means Utah citizens will likely resort to non-US, less-regulated sites, making everything worse (more extreme content, less protections for people appearing in content, etc etc).
- 1over137 3y ago>Only US-based operations will go to the trouble of blocking Utah. Apparently not, as Pornhub is Canadian.
- toyg 3y agoI expect Canada is not beyond the reach of US copyright law, in practice.
- arp242 3y agoOn paper PornHub seems headquartered in Cyprus, and parent company MindGeek in Luxembourg. Tax reasons both probably. But it doesn't matter because MindGeek also owns Brazzers, Reality Kings, and a bunch of other porn studios, and they operate out of the US ("porn valley") a lot. Simply ignoring US law can get them in to a lot of trouble. Even a EU-based outfit is relatively safe in comparison, never mind something located in Russia or whatnot.
- remram 3y agoUntil you can't type "porn" in Google and get it, immediately, for free, Utah has made no progress.
