    Politicians are always trying to ban encryption in every country. I remember it happening constantly in the 90s. And it happens because politicians don't understand that you can't ban math

      Have you met the French? There's a bunch of English sex words brought in from French! Most notably is ménage à trois, for a threesome. The smoking a cigarette after sex cliché is pretty French too.

          "Mais fuck you! Plus vite MAINTENANT... OUAI YEAH! COMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEE ÇÇÇÇÇAAAAA!!!! Fuck me t'as une monstre cock!"

            I'd argue that "plus fort" would mean "harder" in this context but I'm not an expert

                  Are you embarrassed you look at porn? There's plenty of ways to manage without an internet connection. Go grab a compilation torrent.

                  Even if all these sites went verification tonight, you'd still be able to privately jerk off to whatever it is you want to hide so bad.

                      Peak French stupidity, this isn't about protecting kids - it's about building surveillance infrastructure. Back in 2024, critics already called this the foundation for a "Great Firewall of France". Once you have the legal framework to block websites and force ISPs to implement monitoring, mission creep is inevitable.

                      The technical approach is laughably naive. They're essentially creating a centralized system that could easily become a database of citizen sexual preferences. Even with their "double anonymity," you're still creating digital fingerprints and metadata trails.

                      Most importantly, it won't work. Kids will just use VPNs - the same way adults are already doing. You're not protecting anyone; you're just pushing everyone toward circumvention tools while normalizing government control over what adults can access online.

                      It's perfectly French because it combines maximum bureaucratic complexity with zero practical benefit, all while creating new opportunities for state overreach. Classic.

                            After the big purge of some years ago, PornHub has became useless. The good real videos are elsewhere.

                                  Alright! I'm a French speaker and I've never heard "ménage à trois". It could be correct, but that's old language. I believe "plan à trois" is the new thing we say.

                                  Good to know!

                                    I guess this bodes well for Proton becoming increasingly a Google One products replacement with more users potentially paying

                                      Sexual desire is one thing. Pornography is another. Porn is evil.

                                        Given that I torrent without a VPN and it had nothing on there, and it also got my location wrong by over 500km, I dont think I'm too worried.

                                          If you're on private trackers there won't be anything

                                          Location is estimated based on ISP. Always trash
