For clarification: This map isn't based on any real world data. There is no index. Its only purpose is to depict US states with age verification for porn laws on their books. The rest of the world is coloured in somewhat randomly.

Maybe it's per capita, but that wouldn't explain why Greenland has no data and all of Africa is filled in.

[–] TaTTe@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Read the undertext by OP, they completely made up all the data to make a joke about age verification in some US states to access porn.

They put the cum back in circumvent.

Alexa, why is my VPN sticky?

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 15 points 11 months ago
You know why. And I'm still mad at you, Dave.
[–] SmoochyPit@beehaw.org 26 points 11 months ago

Utah, USA checks out 😏

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 20 points 11 months ago (3 children)

So I get Texas and Utah, why is Montana using so many VPNs?

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Recently they passed some draconic anti-porn laws and now pornhub is geoblocked in Montana

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ok I missed that news story.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 months ago

I only know because a friend's from there and people were clowning on Montana for a while when it was announced

[–] Restaldt@lemm.ee 19 points 11 months ago

Because the data is made up

[–] manucode@feddit.de 14 points 11 months ago

I added an explanation in the description.

Pornhub should get into the VPN business 👀

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 11 months ago

Politicians banning porn are probably already in the VPN business 👁️👁️

[–] VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

Wouldn't providing the circumventing measure themselves potentially open them up to be fucked by the states with the bans? Pun kinda intended.

[–] Crow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

That was a thing tho, they did that. Friggin VPNHUB it was called. At least I think it was actually them. Not sure if it's still around

[–] uis@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago

Seems legit

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 11 points 11 months ago

I use a VPN; I'm just not that hot about it.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

Virtual porn networks are critical for your privacy.

[–] Zkuld@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Probably relative I assume? Still would be nice to know what colours are what %

[–] manucode@feddit.de 4 points 11 months ago

I added an explanation in the description.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Does hosting your own VPN count?

Love the clarification BTW. I notice Texas there.

I'd give mine up, but honestly... I miss porn too much

[–] Roflmasterbigpimp@feddit.de 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You can post the map, but please don't add a misleading caption.

[–] manucode@feddit.de 1 points 10 months ago

I hope it's fine now
