Proton VPN sees 1,000 percent surge in signups 30 minutes after Pornhub exits France

A popular VPN service reported a 1,000% increase in registrations just 30 minutes after Pornhub blocked access in France this week. The adult site reportedly exited its second-biggest market on June 4 because of a new French age-verification law, per Mashable's Anna Iovine.

"5PM - PornHub blocks France from accessing its website," Proton VPN tweeted Wednesday. "5.30PM - @ProtonVPN registrations increase by 1,000%[.] For context, this is more than when TikTok blocked Americans."
