The site tells BBC News it believes people are viewing riskier sites - but they may just be using VPNs.

      I’m sure UK citizens can find porn without having to necessarily resort to VPNs, they just left Pornhub because they’re applying the laws

        I can’t imagine the alternative be less stretchy compared to Pornhub, not that Pornhub isn’t a sketchy site in the first place

      Anecdotally, ProtonVPN’s servers have had a jump in usage percentage since this shit started, particularly in the Netherlands.
