There are about a gazillion porn websites and legislation only affects the top like 3 of them. Completely pointless unless you have an entire surveillance system like China's firewall

You don't need a surveillance system you just need a framework for people to sue for damages.

A lot of those porn sites also are not free ( so automatically age restricted).

PornHub is somewhat unique in that it’s so large and totally free.

Uh.. no..

And how about you just go to google/bing whatever and search for some porn. It will come right up.

You are completely bonkers if you think free porn is somewhat unique to pornhub.

I never said that. I said that its unique in how wide its reach is. Yes, you can find porn on Google if you turn off SafeSearch. Yes there are other PornTube sites out there. But if you dig deep enough I bet you'd find that most of them are owned by MindGeek too. MindGeek has the lion's share of the market right now by far.

It's unique in that it is as close to public facing as a pornography website gets, but it's not unique whatsoever in being large and free.
