10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Canada saw what was happening in the US South and decided the they need a friend. Canada is the process of passing their own "Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography Act".
I feel like if there was some type of course that would teach young people about sex and porn in a healthy manner. We could call it "sex education". This would be far better use of tax payers money instead of knee jerk bans and overreaching privacy violations.
Ya see, up north, we believe in a lil thang called FREEDOM! 😎
Ahem, good Internet person. In the south, freedom is going STRONG. It is taking away jobs, revenue (ex:PorhHub), medication, rights, health, safety, life, and freedom. Er...ah...um...
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.
17 US states are at the same level as Russia right now, when you look at pornhub blocked areas.
This is why VPNs exist. Happy surfing, folks.
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.
