      Why do the French even need Pornhub when their basic movies are very porn adjacent?

        I blame the French for 120 days of Sodom burning my eyeballs, and I just skimmed the Wikipedia article. One of them chose to print that instead of burning the notes. Anyways, why is the hub being blocked in France?

                  wow, didn't expect that from france. I thought they, of all countries, would be less prudish than Texas about porn. 😬

                    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.'”

                      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).

                        France passed a law requiring porn sites to verify age of all site visitors. Pornhub is blocking France instead of forcing its visitors to provide ID.

                          I mean for context with the TikTok comparison using a VPN didn't get you around the TikTok ban unless you also made an entirely new account.

                              Anyone with more than two brain cells to click together could have told them this would happen. Some of them did. Not that they would/did listen.

                                Political theater. "Won't somebody think of the children?" is an easy win for politicians.

                                    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.

                                        That's because they banned the accounts.

                                        Anyone who has an account on pornhub deserves their ban.

                                          Germany didn’t do anything like that. Britain tried to ban porn like this but realized it’s a terrible idea and stepped back from it.
