Pornhub Responds To South Carolina Anti-Porn Bill By Releasing State's Online Behavior

Publish date: 2024-05-21

Long Story Short

A bill is before the South Carolina state legislature which would force all computers sold in the state to come with porn-blocking software. The only way to lift the block is to pay $20 to the state government. Meanwhile, to pronounce its displeasure with the proposed bill, XXX tube site Pornhub has released data showing how South Carolinians like their porn.

Long Story

Anyone in South Carolina who likes to look at naked people on their computer screens from time to time has got to be worried right about now. The state wants to censor XXX content by forcing tech companies to install porn-blockers on all computers sold. 

The proposed legislation is meant to prevent children from accessing porn and to protect them from exploitation, according to Slate.

However, there is a way out of it. If vendors or customers over the age of 18 want a new PC or Mac, they can pay a one-time $20 fee per device to get the blockers lifted. The fee will loop back to the government -- so essentially citizens will be paying the government for their porn. And judging by South Carolina's current porn habits, there might be quite a few people dishing out an Andrew Jackson to the state if the bill passes.

Pornhub, the most popular XXX site on the internet, has a clear vested interest in keeping porn censor-free everywhere, so in response to South Carolina's anti-porn bill, it decided to out the ways in which South Carolinians enjoy their porn.

And South Carolinians really do enjoy their porn. So much so, that they stay on the site longer than most other states. "Folks from South Carolina visit Pornhub for 29 seconds longer than the U.S. average," writes Pornhub Insights. "That ranks them 7th for the longest lasting power, just behind Louisiana and Arkansas.:

Also, like other southern states, folks in South Carolina really like "black" and "ebony" porn, with "big black cock" being the #1 searched term. In comparison with other states, South Carolina searches "big black cock" 130% more. Pornhub visitors in the state also search "black" 62% more than other states.
