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

    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.

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

            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.

                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.

                        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.

                          Did we? My scientific search the other night proves that false, and I'm not on VPN.

                            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.

                                        They've been trying to block it for many years now.

                                        France has been going downhill for quite some time. Many proposals for chat control and tracking... even recently, we got a law proposal that aimed at banning E2EE 😵

                                          But think of the children!!!

                                          Because for the right, apparently saying porn or fuck or shit is bad for children, but people grooming the same children is fine.

                                          But in all seriousness, being goomed by 2 people when I was not even 14 has done more damage to me than playing black ops 2 with all the graphic scenes on my Wii-U when I was 12, and trust me, in that game I have heard the word fuck more times than I could count back then
