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

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.

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.

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

Political theater. "Won't somebody think of the children?" is an easy win for politicians.
Except it's fucking awful to wait for buffering over Tor or a VPN

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.'”
Does oglaf count as porn?
Asking for a friend. -

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

Plus an excuse to collect more data.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Tumblr the Depraved?
I hate how hard this made me laugh

So, all the uploaders deserve a ban?

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

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).
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

Blocking porn has got to be the most "why even bother" thing
It's not about blocking porn.
It's always about control. Conservatives want to control how you consume sexual content.

I blame the French for 120 days of Sodom burning my eyeballs, and I just skimmed the Wikipedia article. One of them chose to print that instead of burning the notes. Anyways, why is the hub being blocked in France?
Same reason it’s blocked in Florida.

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.

Could just be their local internet quality. Which, still, not a VPN problem.

Anyone with more than two brain cells to click together could have told them this would happen. Some of them did. Not that they would/did listen.
Ah yes, chat control, the crackdown on encryption, backdoors, etc., all forgotten? So now thousands of French people are deliberately using VPNs for something that is now illegal. Well, the politicians won't take advantage of this to take action against VPNs and encryption... To protect the children, of course...
