    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.

      Wait, this can't just be another useless DNS blocking, or is it?

        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.

          Well, it's blocked by my porn blocker, so I'd say yes

                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.

                    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.

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

                                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

                                      French politicians passed a law that requires porn sites collect pii (identity) in order to access the site. PornHub won’t violate the privacy and security of their users, so they simply block the locales that pass such laws.

                                        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.'”
