I don't see how this could be seen as anything but a violation of privacy and an attempt to chill free speech.

I had no idea there was a federal law regarding this!

As someone in Ohio, it only requires an ID to watch porn online. I've been saving material since learning about the bill.

I can imagine a couple hundred GB will last me awhile. Also after that, I can imagine. They can't regulate that yet.

You know why Ohio has so many astronauts right? Because they can't wait to get the fuck off this planet after living there.

Not to mention powered flight was invented in Ohio.

Because people were flying the fuck out as fast as they could, Ohio stepped up its game with other inventions: speeding tickets and stop lights.

It's no coincidence that cash registers, price sticker affixing machines and barcodes were all invented in Ohio too. You can try to leave, but you're gonna have to pay and it wont be easy. Ohio is also where vacuum cleaners and chewing gum were invented.

Think I'm being ridiculous? Just wait and see!

There's a variant of three-ring loose-leaf paper binders invented in Ohio. It's called a "Trapper Keeper". Think about it...

The inventions of Ohio tell a bleak, dystopian tale if one reads between the lines. Interesting that Ohio brought the world freon and leaded gasoline along with gas masks...

I would note that, to pick two examples:

ExpressVPN appears to have California-based exit nodes:

https://www.expressvpn.com/vpn-server/us-vpn/san-francisco-vpn

NordVPN appears to have California-based exit nodes:

https://nordvpn.com/servers/usa/sanfrancisco/

You can effectively choose the state law under which you want to access the Internet.

From what I've learned recently, those may not be safe options.

Best bet would be Mullvad, IMO.

This video summarizes it well though it is a bit of a shill. I've actually taken the time to validate the claims made here and haven't been able to refute them.
