VPN Registrations Increase by 1,000%, less than Hour After PornHub Blocked France From Accessing its Website.

BTW, who even had the brilliant idea to block pr0n for French of all people?
You can say porn here on lemmy

Except it's fucking awful to wait for buffering over Tor or a VPN
Why use Tor? It's been compromised for years now. Just use I2P. You can torrent with that too.

Could be worse. Could be you're in the early 90s with only a 56k modem.

wow, didn't expect that from france. I thought they, of all countries, would be less prudish than Texas about porn.
Everywhere has religious people that think they deserve to control others.

It's an easy proxy.

You'd have good games and no bullshit on your PC.

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.

We have our own homegrown bigots, thank you

Also, when in France, who needs porn when you have Eva Green?

It's not about blocking porn.
It's always about control. Conservatives want to control how you consume sexual content.
It's not about that either. It's about connecting photo ID to browsing profiles and deanonymising the internet.

Jokes on them I just have an incredibly high volume of DNS traffic
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Wait, this can't just be another useless DNS blocking, or is it?
Edit: Didn't get the joke first lol

The VPNs will be harder to ban. Not just from a technical standpoint, but politically as well. Big businesses will be absolutely opposed to VPN bans.
There will be a lot of businesses who feel the (justified) need to hide the entrypoint to their infrastructure behind a VPN.

Does oglaf count as porn?
Asking for a friend.Well, it's blocked by my porn blocker, so I'd say yes
-
So, all the uploaders deserve a ban?
I'll make an exception for uploaders.

It's not. I use next and it's blocked.

Plus an excuse to collect more data.
Yeah the point is just to soften the populace to the idea. Our fucking PM covered for pedophile priests in a Catholic school 30 years ago, he doesn't give any fuck about kids.

Texas isn't the first. I think it was started by Germany? I know the UK banned women's orgasms and Australia banned hentai. Heck, India apparently banned porn altogether, ineffectively.
Australia banned hentai
Did we? My scientific search the other night proves that false, and I'm not on VPN.

I know the UK banned women’s orgasms
Why? To prevent British women from having expectations?

I'm shocked that this many people feel the need to disobey a rule that is only there to help the children. Next step must be to ban VPNs altogether, and enforcing all Internet users to be identified with their real identity (/s obviously).
if the VPN ban doesn’t work then the only reasonable course of action would be to ban the internet entirely. it’s the only way the children can be truly safe.

Or as they call it in France, Le Porn
