    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.

    Because they're two completely different things.

      You misunderstand, France didn't block pornhub, pornhub blocked France.

      It is to protest against a new law requiring porn site to verify the users age. Which they argue will have dire consequences for security and privacy (I fully agree about the danger)

      They did the same in my puritanical US state that passed a similar law.

        I feel they could easily ban VPN companies (maybe?), which is what 99.9% of people that want to browse from a different location use.

        This won’t affect companies at all as they would be using their own VPN.

            It's called DNS tunneling it's typically used for data exfiltration tactics, but it's also great if you're desperate to punch through even the toughest paid WiFi paywalls to Google something really quick slow because you fucked something up on your phone lmao

                  When it’s not about protecting kids, it’s about fighting drugs

                  They always have a "good" reason to remove our freedom, because apparently security seems much more important, and it seems like it’s the only way to do it. Lol.

                          Spankbang alone blows PornHub out of the water in my opinion. So does Xvideos. I guess it depends what you’re into? I don’t like all of the incest shit on PornHub.

                            Politically speaking, it's easy money. You pander to the conservatives with blocking propositions, get votes.

                            Me. Porn is fine. Teach your children how to handle it. Teach them that it's not realistic and some of it is straight-up dangerous. Put a filter on your internet if you're too scared to talk to your kids about uncomfortable topics.

                              More than TikTok's US ban doesn't mean much given TikTok blocked user accounts who originate from the US regardless of VPN location

                              Edited for clarity: given they TikTok blocked, users accounts

                                Yes, there are. But you misunderstood the news: France didn't block pornhub, pornhub blocked France as a protest against a new law.

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

                                      VPN companies and data brokers have a financial incentive to lobby for intrusive age-verification and restrictions, and prudish politicians are conveniently present in every political system. The porn lobby is powerful, but it seems they've been losing this battle recently. Or maybe they're cutting deals with the data brokers, who knows.

                                          More of just a softcore/strip kinda guy. I find porn corny and offputting so I'm usually just browsing /s/, fapello, or the endless tumblr blogs for every fetish imaginable. (suggestions welcome).

                                          gallery sites, are my thing, I guess, redtube is another good one with a lot of solo stuff. Motherless, though I hate going there because some of that content is a little on the teen-obsessed side, and kinda creepy, but I do like the way the site is designed.

                                          <_< are we having this discussion right now?
