Canada Considers Blocking Pornhub in U.S. as Trade War Escalates
A viral proposal and petition suggest cutting U.S. access to the Canadian-owned adult site as a symbolic response to ongoing tariff disputes.
- Toronto comedian Matthew Puzhitsky proposed the idea of banning U.S. access to Pornhub, calling it Canada’s 'nuclear weapon' in the trade conflict with the U.S.
- Pornhub, a Montreal-based company, is one of the most visited adult sites in the U.S., with American users accounting for nearly 40% of its traffic.
- A Change.org petition advocating for the ban has been launched, describing it as a 'peaceful yet powerful' way to address the trade dispute.
- The proposal has sparked mixed reactions, with some Americans expressing disbelief and concern about losing access to Pornhub.
- While the petition has gained some traction, questions remain about the feasibility and implications of such a move, especially given ongoing trade negotiations.
