Pornhub Is Pulling Out of Florida
gizmodo.com
Starting January 1, Floridians can no longer legally come to Pornhub.

At the dawn of the new year, Pornhub will leave Florida. Thanks to a harsh new age verification law that takes effect on January 1, the porn giant will no longer do business in the sunshine state. The law mirrors similar laws passed in other Republican led states where Pornhub has stopped doing business.

    Yes - a stock exchange - but Florida is only a small part of the overall market and most people will just tolerate the ban.

      Yeah, but how many VPN providers are public companies? I’m guessing not very many given the reporting requirements public companies face.

          Never said they were.

          That list of public companies mostly sell networking gear that you can use to configure VPNs. I don’t think that’s what the post I originally replied to was talking about. I think they were talking more about VPN service providers like NordVPN, ExpressVPN, PIA, ProtonVPN, etc.

            Those are companies that provide VPNs. Every product you just listed is also a legit business.

              I never said they weren’t legit. I said they likely would never go public and be listed on stock exchanges due to all the requirements that entails.

              These companies I listed provide VPN services to people who want a level of privacy in their internet usage. That list of public companies you mentioned sell VPN hardware mostly to corporations that want to secure their own private traffic between different locations. Huge difference.
