trade war idea

TIL Pornhub is a Canadian-owned....What if you blocked traffic from the USA (yes, I know about VPN)

I'm pretty sure half the red states already block it.
Instead I'd suggest a more technically involved approach of blocking the middle fifth (a 25% tariff) of the screen of videos with a large black bar that has a Canadian flag and a beaver (not that kind) on it.
If you want to send a message it's better to avoid a full blackout since most regular folks will just assume it's a server outage. Make it clear it's intentional.
- A fifth would be 20%, if you want to block 25% then you block one fourth of the screen.
  
  Aha, but a 25% tariff ends up taxing a fifth of the total value. I've been hit in the nads by enough fence posts in my day to dodge that trap.
- Not sure about the idea of having the Canadian flag layered on top of the ~~weird shit~~ diverse kinks available on PornHub.
  Maybe just add a picture of Trump and Musk? The importer is the one paying the tariff anyway, so it should be an US image.
  
  We're a country with extremely liberal views on speech and sexuality. I support superimposing a Canadian flag over a little person in full bondage gear humping the leg of a pregnant woman while shouting "I want to go back inside mommy". That's the Canada I became a citizen of.
  
  Nah, not fair to kink shame Canadians into stuff. Who decides what is "weird" and what isn't?
- Spoken as a true master of ~~evil~~ justice let's follow your track !!

This is a fucking amazing idea and support it!

Blue balling them for the cause.

Well they're so conservative there already was some talk about banning PH in some states.
- I believe Florida has to use a VPN but that was because you had to give PH your ID. Pornhub said yeah no we are not tagging people at the door.
- Those usually are the worst. I still remember the 90's a (very) religious guy brings in his VCR... "Yesterday after church I was going to watch a bit of TV but the tape got stuck" We fixed it and watched a bit. I wasn't that blue, but it was some serious porn. Around the same time a friend worked at mail distribution, Most copies of playboy went to the bible belt.
- Conservative demographics consume more porn. That will only back fire.
  
  There will be plenty of kids for them to rape now that they're halting abortions as well.
