It's likely just going to drive it off to the less centralized websites that won't block anyway because they are just so used to ignoring the requests. The only reason PornHub has to pay heed is because they try to go at it the "legal" route.

Hell, there's a shitload of porn on Reddit and Lemmy that isn't geofenced or age restricted.

This is just a silly waste of resources.

The most effective regulation here is from payment handlers.

Not sure what eventually became of this, but MasterCard shitcanned PornHub a few years ago. See https://www.bbc.com/news/world-52543508

I also see a statement from 2022 reinforcing that decision. https://www.mastercard.com/news/press/2022/august/mastercard-statement-reinforcing-adult-content-standards/

I guess even that's not very effective since PornHub is obviously still in business. I wonder what their numbers looked like before and after.
