That's not the point. This is a protest by the company running these sites against a system that's not fit for its claimed purpose (age restriction of websites) but is very fit for surveillance.

Well it kinda is the point, people will either use VPNs or go to riskier sources. I found a new site with loads of porn and all you have to do is install their browser plug-in, and video player!
