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

Blocking porn has got to be the most "why even bother" thing
Political theater. "Won't somebody think of the children?" is an easy win for politicians.

Dr. Cox was right: “I’m fairly sure if they took porn off the internet, there’d only be one website left, and it’d be called ‘Bring Back the Porn.'”
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Tumblr the Depraved?

wow, didn't expect that from france. I thought they, of all countries, would be less prudish than Texas about porn.
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.

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).
Jokes on them I just have an incredibly high volume of DNS traffic

I mean for context with the TikTok comparison using a VPN didn't get you around the TikTok ban unless you also made an entirely new account.
That's because they banned the accounts.
Anyone who has an account on pornhub deserves their ban.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Germany didn’t do anything like that. Britain tried to ban porn like this but realized it’s a terrible idea and stepped back from it.

BTW, who even had the brilliant idea to block pr0n for French of all people?

Except it's fucking awful to wait for buffering over Tor or a VPN

Does oglaf count as porn?

Ironically, it was PornHub’s parent company that was set to run the UK age verification scheme.

Plus an excuse to collect more data.

I hate how hard this made me laugh

So, all the uploaders deserve a ban?

That'll be really slow.

If you are paying for a VPN and you have buffering problems, change to another VPN, that one is shit.

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.

Out of the loop here, why did Pornhub leave France?
As one headline put it "PornHub pulls out of France".

Can confirm, used DNS proxying to bypass cruise ship WiFi paywall once. It worked, but god damn did it send me into dialup flashback lmao

It's not about blocking porn.
It's always about control. Conservatives want to control how you consume sexual content.
