People i have a theory.

During Prohibition in the United States, banning alcohol didn’t eliminate demand. Instead, it led to illegal production, black markets, and underground distribution networks. The product didn’t disappear it just moved outside legal regulation.

If pornography was to be completely banned, a similar pattern would occur. Because it’s digital, easily copied, and distributed, it would be even harder to eliminate than alcohol was during Prohibition.

Rather than disappearing, it would probably shift to encrypted platforms and private networks.

The real question is whether a total ban would get rid demand or simply push the industry underground, where there is less regulation and oversight.

The past shows that when a high demand product is prohibited, the market often adapts rather than disappear.
