    It doesn’t do the one thing it’s meant to do.

      To be fair, potentially addictive or not, I wouldn't support a ban on social media either. The practical requirements needed to effectively restrict access to information in the modern age (both porn and social media being examples of information) are such that I generally view the cure as worse than the disease, so to speak, and view the least bad option as being to just give up on legal restrictions and just deal with the consequences instead. Addiction is harmful, but most consumers of such information aren't harmed by it, and restriction inherently requires monitoring and removing internet anonymity to a degree that I find unacceptable.

      Didn’t say anything about banning porn or social media. Just saying that they’re both addictive and have negative consequences on society. Yall can keep your porn. Relax.

          Meanwhile in Australia, they just passed a bill requiring social media to verify the age of their users to make sure they're over 16

            To clarify, the french didn't ban pornhub, it's the company behind pornhub who decided to deny it's access in France to protest a law proposal that is currently getting examined in parliament

            Ps : The law in question would require all porn sites to verify the age of its users

                    Well – this might be more succesful in boostering the IT skills of France's next generation than any curriculum reform.

                        Wait aren't they proposing the same thing in the US as well? It's a fairly standard thing of right-wing governments to just demand the impossible with no understanding about it could possibly be achieved.

                          If you at all think that people can be addicted to social media, you could draw a correlation from this to porn addiction.

                          I know a lot of you either don’t think porn can be addictive and/or don’t think it can have negative effects on society.

                          Ask yourselves why the logic works for social media but not porn.

                          EDIT: I’m gonna have to do an experiment and see if I get more downvotes for saying negative things about porn or positive things about Israel. Unfortunately I think it’d be pretty close.

                                How do you know it's just boys? Seems an odd assumption, considering the nature of omission of information with this.

                                  Authoritarians have embraced internet culture somehow.

                                  I'm curious how they got Gen Z so curtailed.

                                    Yes, there are. But you misunderstood the news: France didn't block pornhub, pornhub blocked France as a protest against a new law.

                                    Age verification in a porn database is odd to me, from a privacy point of view AND a massive undertaking for the porn company. And then there's the puritan culture of wanting to block teenagers from watching porn? Seems a very anti-French thing to me, but I'm also pretty ignorant of actual French culture. I assumed French culture would be like, once you have the urges, you'll go seeking, and if you need to look at the internet in the safety of your own bedroom, is better than unexpected pregnancies to satisfy urges.

                                    What's the deal with all of this, anyway? What are the arguments here?

                                      Get Alldebrid, yes it’s paid but it’s cheap if you are just getting a vpn for porn you might as well get Alldebrid and you can use it to stream movies on stremio as well , then install the Alldebrid browser extension. Go to Adultdb.io click one of the links, scan the page with the extension. It will find the rapdigator link even if you don’t solve the captcha. Then click on the link in the extension and then it takes you to the Alldebrid page where you can download or stream the movie at basically the best quality. Also Alldebrid works with torrents so you can add torrents from xxxclub.to and usually it’s already cached and you can watch it immediately.

                                      Also great for VR just load the torrents into Alldebrid, then go to the Alldebrid media folder page on your headset with DeoVR or HereSphereVR then you can stream VR porn directly, no need to download.

                                          But we love our mods. What about freedom of speech online? People just too addicted to porn and can’t even muster an ounce of criticism or critical thinking.
