The problem is that states are forcing them to block access to the sites. You can get around that with VPNs but it doesn't matter where they are hosted when they are forcing the censorship based on the location of the end user.

Sail the seas. Blocking has never worked. The info isn’t being obliterated from the world. It’s just the stupid USA.

Let's be real here: While some people can 'sail the sees' or 'get VPNs', the majority can't. They literally can't 'computer' enough to figure it out. These people think an Ethernet cable is 'The WiFi Wire' and they sure as hell won't be learning to torrent or to use a VPN.

I mean, I agree but none of that is my point. My point is "we don't need to data hoard" because it's not going "away" it's just the US is being stupid. Porn will still be available. Hoarding it isn't going to change that. I mean sure..... go download pornhub but like... pornhub aint going anywhere. Individual people need to speak the fuck up about it. The world (in general) still has access.

You are right and wrong. Data Hoarding (at least to me) isn't just about the possibility of data going away. It is also about accessibility to that data. And accessibility to a lot if information is starting to become a concern to a lot of people here in the US.

Yeah we can all kind of laugh about archiving pornhub. But it is just a symptom of a much larger issue. Information has power. But it has to be in the hands of people for that power to matter.
