    PornHub is a monopoly. They own xnxx, redtube, xhamster, and several production companies such as brazzers. Their categorization system has also had some ranging impacts on actresses’ ability to get work after they turn 22. I highly recommend listening to The Butterfly Effect by Jon Ronson.

    ALSO so we’re clear, I’m not a fan of this legislation because its dumb as fuck and doesn’t help anyone, least of all sex workers. When people lose easy access to porn it usually results in WORSE conditions for sex workers because suddenly there’s more demand in places without safety infrastructure.

        Yeah I was just in Utah for business and didn’t even realise there was a block. I didn’t go to pornhub but all my regular sites just worked. 🤷‍♂️🍆

        Part of being a monopoly is being anticompetitive

        No it’s not. Being hit with antitrust laws requires first being a monopoly, but the monopoly state exists merely by virtue of size within the industry.

        Edit: to be clear the only point I am making here is in relation to that definition you provided. Nothing more.

      Owning a dozen or so websites doesn’t make them a monopoly when there are tens of thousands of porn sites available.

      There are countless models over the age of 22 making bank in the porn industry. The only difference is that they have talent.
