Modulo local government laws.

I am not disagreeing with your larger opinion but we have to be careful about “it’s on the internet hence anyone can access it” line of argument.

For instance Pornhub is blocked in India. So if someone were to access it from within India through VPN or whatnot then they are breaking a law and have to face the consequences.

I will speak out against BS like that too. Just because a law exists doesn't make it right or moral.
