      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.

        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.

        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.

              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.

                      That's because they banned the accounts.

                      Anyone who has an account on pornhub deserves their ban.

                        Politically speaking, it's easy money. You pander to the conservatives with blocking propositions, get votes.

                            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.

                                You misunderstand, France didn't block pornhub, pornhub blocked France.

                                It is to protest against a new law requiring porn site to verify the users age. Which they argue will have dire consequences for security and privacy (I fully agree about the danger)

                                  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)!

                                  Yes, there are. But you misunderstood the news: France didn't block pornhub, pornhub blocked France as a protest against a new law.

                                    These are comics, often with a nsfw gag, it's safe to click on, it's very mild.

                                        They've been trying to block it for many years now.

                                        France has been going downhill for quite some time. Many proposals for chat control and tracking... even recently, we got a law proposal that aimed at banning E2EE 😵

                                          Because they're two completely different things.
