Pornhub cuts off more US users in ongoing protest over age-verification laws
Pornhub apologized to "loyal visitors" blocked in two states this weekend.
Pornhub now blocks access to users in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.

This is crazy but Pornhub's response to this is pretty funny. They don't like the new law. But instead of taking it out on lawmakers they take it out on their users. And throw other porn sites (who are in the same business to help advocate) under the bus too. This can't be a smart move.
Well, there isn't much Pornhub can do to lawmakers. All they can do is block users in areas that elect those lawmakers, and hope those users take it out on those lawmakers. Possibly by electing different ones in the future who will change that law.
It's sort of the same logic as striking or protesting; you can't affect the people responsible directly, so you do something that inconveniences regular people who will then hopefully take it out on the people responsible in one way or another.
