      Wow, I left the US ten years ago, I had no idea it had got this bad. You need a VPN to browse porn? :(

        It depends on your state. There’s a handful that passed laws requiring porn sites to verify age via ID. Several sites have just outright banned them based on IP as they don’t want to deal with the privacy nightmare.

          Then sometimes you’re like me, living in AZ, not even on a VPN, being told “You Texans should be asking for ID” and just wondering how the fuck that’s happening

      Yup, browsing on lemmynsfw is interesting, because redgifs automatically blocks Texas IPs. So it’s a nice handy reminder to enable my VPN, because gifs refuse to load.
