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

Damn, the whole world really is going authoritarian.
Authoritarians have embraced internet culture somehow.
I'm curious how they got Gen Z so curtailed.

Yes, there are. But you misunderstood the news: France didn't block pornhub, pornhub blocked France as a protest against a new law.
Age verification in a porn database is odd to me, from a privacy point of view AND a massive undertaking for the porn company. And then there's the puritan culture of wanting to block teenagers from watching porn? Seems a very anti-French thing to me, but I'm also pretty ignorant of actual French culture. I assumed French culture would be like, once you have the urges, you'll go seeking, and if you need to look at the internet in the safety of your own bedroom, is better than unexpected pregnancies to satisfy urges.
What's the deal with all of this, anyway? What are the arguments here?

wrote last edited by [email protected]Get Alldebrid, yes it’s paid but it’s cheap if you are just getting a vpn for porn you might as well get Alldebrid and you can use it to stream movies on stremio as well , then install the Alldebrid browser extension. Go to Adultdb.io click one of the links, scan the page with the extension. It will find the rapdigator link even if you don’t solve the captcha. Then click on the link in the extension and then it takes you to the Alldebrid page where you can download or stream the movie at basically the best quality. Also Alldebrid works with torrents so you can add torrents from xxxclub.to and usually it’s already cached and you can watch it immediately.
Also great for VR just load the torrents into Alldebrid, then go to the Alldebrid media folder page on your headset with DeoVR or HereSphereVR then you can stream VR porn directly, no need to download.

You absolutly right, but here in the Mecca of internet freedom, we don't likey.
But we love our mods. What about freedom of speech online? People just too addicted to porn and can’t even muster an ounce of criticism or critical thinking.

What are the arguments
"Protect delicate children's eyes from seeing nudity"
I think that's about it

The law in question would require all porn sites to verify the age of its users
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.
For now it's not nation wide, it's just up to states if they want to implement an age verification law like that. They want to make it so that in order to prove your identity/age you need to do something like upload a copy of your ID/Drivers License that will be linked with your "research" accounts.
They say it's to "save the children" and shit like that but the end goal really is to basically shame people who enjoy researching things because Jesus says it's bad.

Why do people even go to pornhub... there are so many other options
The French are totally down with revolution and cigarettes; VPN is a focus for nerd shit; inherently not French.

It doesn’t do the one thing it’s meant to do.
I mean, neither does the Web by now.

This is depressing.

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

wrote last edited by [email protected]Home video stuff is arguably the best!
Often filmed with nothing but desire to share the joy. Vivid, real, as opposed to the carefully curated studio plastic, or OF crap where people have it for the money, and with all the ethical and other concerns about it.
But I know there are always two sides to look at the issue. Studio production is obviously more perfected, and that's what many like

hmm those equivalent, I would not call them better
Different, I would say. Best home vids? PH. More fetishes? Xvideos.

Protest on them trying to enact age consent laws.
By showing the message rather than Pornhub's vast library of adult content, Aylo "is communicating directly with the French people to tell them how dangerous, how potentially privacy-infringing, and how ineffective the French law is", Solomon Friedman of Aylo's owner, Ethical Capital Partners, told reporters in a video call on Tuesday.
Paris has this year gradually introduced requirements for all adult websites to have users confirm their age with details like a credit card or ID document.
In a bid to preserve privacy, operators must offer a third-party "double-blind" option that would keep the platforms themselves from seeing users' identifying information.Edit - the sauce - Pornhub, YouPorn owner suspends access to French users over age verification law

I'm not aware of the exact motivations of all the actors. What follows are my guesses.
My guess would be that
- Some député want to protect children from the most dangerous types of porn (which I can hear on some level, porn can be addictive for some people and can lead to negative behaviour, children are always more sensitive).
- Some probably think that all porn is bad and want to prevent anyone from consuming it, this would only be a first step for those.
- Some definitely want to be able to spy on everyone and use this as an excuse to further reduce privacy and freedom
You might not be aware depending where you are from, but France is on a slippery slope towards Fascism, the far right is gaining more power every day, a lot of people think it is very plausible that a far right president is elected on the next election (2027), along with a parliament's majority.

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.
Ehh... Application of a addiction model is somewhat controversial for pornography (the ground seems divided on whether it's a compulsion or an addiction). Social media, however, is no less controversial (it's just the media likes to hype this more).
I will say - the point of a porn site is to sell user data and deliver ads, whereas the point of social media is to keep the user scrolling by any means possible. By its design, the latter cultivates addiction as a clear goal (the goal to scroll is artificially imposed), whereas the case for the former is less clear (the goal to masturbate isn't something porn created). In essence, one creates a drive and then sates it, whereas another sates an existing drive.
Honestly, I think, at the moment, we're on the "violent video games cause violence" stage of the research. In other words, not enough data to decide so the media has decided for us.
