Does an international porn site like Pornhub take accents into account with their algorithm? Does an Australian watching Pornhub porn tend to get more porn with Australian accents than an American?

Ahaha awesome, thanks.

Looks like it wouldn’t work well in Australia unless the models are not very privacy-conscious…lol

There are around 27 million people in Australia so it would be roughly comparable to blocking Florida (22 million) or Texas (30 million).

Didn’t Texas try and block themselves from pornhub?

@Gerudo@lemm.ee · 5 months ago

They successfully did, age verification is now a thing for all adult content.

So they effectively made a VPN a requirement. Nice.

@Gerudo@lemm.ee · 5 months ago

That, or just find the sites that haven’t bent the knee.

It was pornhub that blocked Texas (and several other states). Other sites have done the same. Due to new laws making it risky to distribute in those states.
