I doubt it's just this though? Bc there are other porn sites they could easily switch to if that were all it was. It could be a general worry about what else may be coming down the pipeline after this one block.
Hell the question was about states banning porn and I linked a site about age verification instead without realizing it... I remember reading something about VPN traffic spiking on Proton after the rules went into effect, wasn't trying to intentionally be inaccurate
It was a nice read, I'm glad you shared it.:-)
