    No one reads the damned article. France didn't ban porn nor Porn Hub, they put in a place an age verification law and now PH is banning French IP addresses.

    Right, and TikTok banned users it previously identified as being from the US rather than doing the IP-origin ban PornHub uses given they don't require an account nor app.

      Democracy and general Egalitarianism is so 2008. Authoritarianism is what's hot now.

        Pervertube. Thisvid. Motherless.

        I just realized indicating these websites might have revealed a little too much about the kinds of porn I like to watch. ☹️

        Which one pops the "you are leaving the trans section to go the straight section, are you sure?"

        I really don't think I should be called out just because I like straight porn.

            Whoa. I haven't heard of Pervertube. I have specific tastes involving a dirty mattress with no sheet or at least one overflowing ashtray.

            NEW PORN!!!!!!1!!!!1!!!

                  I have to admit, of all the nations on earth, I never expected this sort of puritanical theatrical authoritarianism out of the french.

                  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

                        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

                                      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.
