I'm pro privacy and don't want to say "nothing to hide", but who cares if you browse porn?

As long as it's legal (so barring being in a regressive country where eg. gay porn is illegal), why would you go out of your way to use a VPN for it?

For sure, use DOH and HTTPS sites only, and I can understand if you're a public figure and don't want to accidentally like incest porn on your official Twitter account but beyond that, really who cares. A large majority of people watch and browse for porn, myself and most people in this thread included. Maybe time to dispense with the shame.

Not all porn is equally legal (sodomy, for example). And our society (at least in the US) likes to pretend that it doesn't exist, which means that it's viable ammunition to attack a person's character with, publicly or privately.

So, in practice, this means that these big companies have ammunition which could be used to destroy careers and relationships. Whether used directly or incidentally via a data leak (it's not like those ever happen /s).
