If the US federal government creates a website to let Europeans bypass restrictions on hate speech in Europe and some Europeans in countries that don't restrict porn create a website to let people in US states with state-level porn restrictions bypass them, I'd be pretty comfortable with the outcome.

INB4 this will be shut down later this year when they find out 90+% of traffic is driven by horny teens bypassing age verification to watch porn.

It's literally the only use for it, the only content that is usually blocked uk->us is news articles, and who wants to read half of that garbage

Hypothetically, would this country be okay with not hosting all the redneck invest porn we have here?

The hypocrisy of the US government censoring it's own citizens and then claiming to give freedom to other nations is such a republican thing to do.

The NSA is already capturing all Internet traffic in the US, and probably abroad too. It's not like they really need an excuse for more.
