You need to pay their cronies the protection fee or something unfortunate might happen to your porn site.
With a side helping of pandering to the christofascist base, which laps up transparent corruption up as long as they flog the sinners a few times a session.

Kinda like how Facebook strongarmed Canada when it didnt get what it wanted and stopped showing news there.
This is a surreptitious example of megacorps trying to have more power than the people.
