    As far as I understand it, the “porn bans” are actually laws that force strict ID requirements, not literally banning porn. (I’m not trying to debate whether they’re effectively porn bans, I’d agree they are.) So sites that are paid access only probably have an easier time proving they don’t let minors in.

        Except you need to be over 18, and it’s easy to verify this if you’re paying with a credit card.

        Besides, what teenager can’t figure out how to use a vpn?
