There's a ridiculous amount of porn sites out there. Banning the big daddy Pornhub is just going to drive people to those who are generally less moderated, or teach them how to bypass such blocks - which maybe teaches some folks some media competency again.
Pornhub wasn't banned from Texas; it banned states like Texas, Florida, and Kentucky from access because of their ridiculous "must put self on government list to see porn" laws.
Same difference. There's bans or talks about bans like this in other countries too, for the same reasons basically.
