Industry news/resource site VPN Mentor reports their team “observed a significant surge in VPN usage across the state of Florida, with a staggering increase noted in the first hours of January 1st increasing consistently since the last minutes of 2024 and reaching its peak of 1150 percent only four hours after the HB3 law came into effect. Additionally, there was a noteworthy 51 percent spike in demand for VPN services in the state on December 19, 2024, the day after Aylo released their statement of geo-blocking Florida IP addresses to access their website.”
If you guessed this was about PornHub then congratulations because yes this is about PornHub self-banning from Florida before that age verification law came into effect on Wednesday.
