I saw a post of the GOP banning Pornhub in Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Virginia, and Utah due to age verification stipulations. With Visa, Mastercard, PayPal suspending payments on the platform due to "allegations of unlawful content".

Surely the adoption of XMR as a method of payment by Pornhub (and other industries) would be the next best thing?

I want to state that I am not for illegal activity, but these are allegations and seemingly infringing on our First Amendment rights. But there are other ways to prevent and reduce unlawful content other than these complete bans violating our rights and also affecting the income and livelihoods of performers and entire industries.

The pornography industry has been a surprising driver of technological innovation, particularly in the realms of internet, digital media, and payment technologies.

Edit: I see now that Pornhub does accept XMR! I am not sure why it's not a bigger deal!
