    Reminds me of when my buddies discovered our friend’s YouTube account… He only had one public playlist, and it was 100% full of softcore porn. Nothing else. It was all softcore porn. We gave him a pretty good ribbing for that one, and still make a point of reminding him that better porn sites exist every time it comes up.

    Always hide your playlists and subscriptions haha

    But softcore has the benefit to help you retain normal libido and to not be dependent of more hardcore stuff

      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 feel like reddit and YouTube are completely different leagues when it comes to porn... Porn is the only reason I haven't deleted my last reddit account. YT doesn't even really have real porn...

          Indeed, but there's still things to find if you're a young scared kiddo, and I'd say it's pretty soft so it's okay

            I know right? Aren't there nude beaches in the south of France where people will fuck in broad daylight with others watching?

            French citizens please confirm (for uh, science, and not vacation planning)!

                  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.

                      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).

                      Does the rule in question even apply to end users? All I had heard of it was that it put some kind of requirement on the website itself to identify people, which a person seeking out a noncompliant or foreign website presumably wouldn't be the one violating?

                        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.

                        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.

                            Video over Tor is pretty awful, simply due to the way Tor works; Bandwidth is inherently limited, because it’s shared by everyone using the network. Same reason you should avoid torrenting over Tor.

                            But if your video is buffering over a VPN, you need to find a new VPN provider. Mine maxes out my gigabit connection.

                                I know the UK banned women’s orgasms

                                Why? To prevent British women from having expectations?

                                Because female cum is urine according to the powers that be, and that's too much for them.

                                  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.

                                        So funny thing about Aylo, which used to be called mind geek, they own quite a lot of porn sites. Probably 5 or 6 of the top ten.
