Canada could ban Pornhub in the US. Ron Filipkowski: "I can't think of anything that would hurt MAGA more. Especially

[highplainsdem]

their political pastors."


Ron's Bluesky post, showing this NY Post headline: Canada has ‘nuclear weapon’ in trade war — ban Pornhub in US:

The article

https://nypost.com/2025/03/15/world-news/canada-has-nuclear-weapon-in-trade-war-ban-pornhub-in-us/

The idea is the brainchild of funnyman Matthew Puzhitsky, who posted a now-viral Instagram video suggesting the X-rated offensive — calling it Canada’s “nuclear weapon.”

Pornhub is the most visited in the US with more than 3 million views a month.

“If Canada could ban Pornhub in the states, we win the trade war. That’s it. There is no trade war,” the Toronto stand-up comedian told The Post.

1. Trump would get his massive rally

In Washington. But not in support of him. Imagine the signs

BAN TRUMP NOT PORN

MY BODY MY CHOICE

HOW ELSE CAN I GET IT UP

[highplainsdem]

2. LOL!

[MustLoveBeagles]

24. Lol

[calimary]

29. These are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!

I love ‘em all, BOSSHOG! Dayum you’re good…

[BOSSHOG]

40. Thank You My Friend

Trump brings out the best, or is it the worst in me. Just like everyone on DU. I’d rather not have all the material to work with. I long for the days when President Biden was governing in a boring manner.

[LudwigPastorius]

32. MAKE AMERICA HARD AGAIN

FAP, FAP, FAP!

DRAIN THE PUMP

AMERICA BURST

[BOSSHOG]

39. I bow to your creativeness

Ludwig

[LudwigPastorius]

41. Creative vulgarity...

I'm making my mom proud.

[JI7]

3. Especially the Rogan, Tate incels

[enid602]

4. Wives pay the price

Unfortunately, GOP wives might have to spend more time with their husbands, and will pay dearly for this ban.

[Think. Again.]

9. GOP wives probably voted trump, so, whatever.

[Bluetus]

5. Uhhhh ... How would Canada ban Pornhub in the US?

Unless we're talking about "Gorgeous Ladies of the Yukon" or "Debbie's Daring Curling Adventures"

[highplainsdem]

6. It's Canadian-owned.

[Bluetus]

11. Hmmmm. That becomes an interesting possibility

As the opposition in the US, we have to think of every creative way to cause pain to Trump. In this venture we are partners with the Canadians for sure, eh?

There is nothing normal about anything today. I'm all for this idea.

[onenote]

20. Not really.

19 states, virtually all of them ted states, require age verification to access porn sites. Sounders in those states already are resorting to VPNs to evade that requirement. I’m sure Filipowski knows that and he was making a satirical, not serious, point.

[DENVERPOPS]

19. Maybe

that is why Trump wants to take over Canada........to commandeer Pornhub???????

[summer_in_TX]

31. Haha. Love the idea. The wealth in the Arctic is a better explanation. Vast oil and gas reserves.

[Delphinus]

7. Not sure

if this isn't some kind of satire, but the article includes: Pornhub, whose parent company is Montreal-based entertainment conglomerate Aylo, which owns a dozen popular X-rated sites.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. A Canadian co. owns the servers. Destination IP addresses reveal the country. Block server requests from the US

If US IP addresses can't get a response from the server, they get no porn.

Voila.

[purrmaid]

12. VPNs are going to do lots of business soon.

You can 'change' your apparent location with some? all? VPN. (virtual private network--don't use the OS built-in one, get a subscription VPN for best security)

[onenote]

15. They already are, especially in red states

Nineteen states have laws requiring age verification to access porn sites. Virtually all of them are inbred states. And folks in those states are turning to VPNs to get around those restrictions.

[SergeStorms]

35. It's not a subscription service?

If it isn't, it should be. It wouldn't matter where their VPN says they are, they'd still have to supply a credit card number.

[Qutzupalotl]

37. Pornhub is free, but with premium options ... I'm told.

[SergeStorms]

42. I understood completely.

👍

[Hellbound Hellhound]

10. A cute PR stunt, but toothless and meaningless. Free sites are a dime every six dozen.

I won't mention them for fear of breaking DU rules, but there are at least two to three dozen similar or superior sites I could name off the top of my head without googling, and that's ignoring the NSFW areas of Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit and Tiktok, four of the largest social media platforms on the planet.

Still, it'd be funny to watch the Canucks play that card. I say they should go for it.

[Bluetus]

13. I'm sure you are right. But MAGA people aren't known to be very smart

If somebody put a link to pornhub on their computer, many of them wouldn't be able to figure out how to find a substitute.

And even if they did, this would be just the kind of story the American media would find newsworthy.

Then there is this: https://theprawnhubonline.wordpress.com/

[Hellbound Hellhound]

14. Reminds me of Cornhub! Thank you, I gotta put it on my calendar! Always some videos good for a laugh every April 1st. nt

[ecstatic]

17. good point. nt

[onenote]

27. They're smart enough.

The states with above average VON use tend to be red states.

[Qutzupalotl]

38. Probably out of necessity, since those states enacted bans.

Not necessarily all MAGA implementing VPNs there, could be smart blue dots…

[ecstatic]

16. there are other free porn sites

Or so I've been told...

[Hellbound Hellhound]

18. If you need info regarding sites about corn, prawns or homely clams, I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a fish. n/t

[Tetrachloride]

26. your source ? The Porous Chorus , course

no more rhymes, I mean it

anyone want a peanut?

[IronLionZion]

21. That would end the trade war overnight

Republicans love porn

[SergeStorms]

36. Especially the "good christian" men.

They're some of the most sexually twisted people on the planet.

[Alice Kramden]

22. LOL

What a good idea!

[Renew Deal]

23. Canada needs to stop jerking us around

[liberalla]

25. Excellent! Do it.

[AllaN01Bear]

28. not onion? ohm myyy, the uproar.

yes. do it . eye second that motion.

[Hornedfrog2000]

30. Trump would just start his own porn site

Pornnub

[Beartracks]

33. This would bring the country to its knees.

=========

[summer_in_TX]

34. Well, Project 2025 is planning to outlaw porn.

With anything to do with LGBTQi+ counting as pornographic.

They want all producers and distributors of porn to be imprisoned – and they consider librarians and teachers as potential purveyors who ought to be classed as registered sex offenders..

Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Itspurveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their productis as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime.Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it shouldbe imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.
