    Blocking porn has got to be the most "why even bother" thing

    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.

        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.

        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?

          pornhub is so sanitized now, im guessing its mostly because of the OF videos. most of them are on sites that arnt affiliated with PH.

              xvideos is a PH affiliate i think, if you noticed ph or these adjacent sites will have links to each other that have similar sanitationized like PH did.

                  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

                  No one reads the damned article. France didn't ban porn nor Porn Hub, they put in a place an age verification law and now PH is banning French IP addresses.

                        Right, and TikTok banned users it previously identified as being from the US rather than doing the IP-origin ban PornHub uses given they don't require an account nor app.

                            Which one pops the "you are leaving the trans section to go the straight section, are you sure?"

                            I really don't think I should be called out just because I like straight porn.

                                Whoa. I haven't heard of Pervertube. I have specific tastes involving a dirty mattress with no sheet or at least one overflowing ashtray.

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

                                      To clarify, the french didn't ban pornhub, it's the company behind pornhub who decided to deny it's access in France to protest a law proposal that is currently getting examined in parliament

                                      Ps : The law in question would require all porn sites to verify the age of its users
