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

I don't understand, why not just open another porn website?
-
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.
maybe we should ban all the vices you don't partake of but leave the rest intact

le hon hon hon!!! je veux a l'vpn en plús!!!

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.

Or as they call it in France, Le Porn
And you know what they call a quarter pounder with Cheese in Paris?

Except it's fucking awful to wait for buffering over Tor or a 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.

You mean they like their government likes to fuck them?
Well, yes… but still…

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.

Australia banned hentai
Did we? My scientific search the other night proves that false, and I'm not on VPN.
They banned the physical books, but they can't really stop the internet

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.

Wait, this can't just be another useless DNS blocking, or is it?
Edit: Didn't get the joke first lol
I was making a joke about running wireguard over UDP/53
-
I wonder if this is because it's porn or because it's french people who like to stick it to the government
-
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
I’d like to hear more about how that works…
-
That's because they banned the accounts.
Anyone who has an account on pornhub deserves their ban.
What’s wrong with having an account?

Blocking porn has got to be the most "why even bother" thing
Politically speaking, it's easy money. You pander to the conservatives with blocking propositions, get votes.
*Who is going to champion the flip side?!"
-
You'd have good games and no bullshit on your PC.
And great LAN parties.

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.
Honestly and truly, I don't think humanity is ready for the internet.
