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

I don't understand, why not just open another porn website?
Brand loyalty

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.

Does oglaf count as porn?
Asking for a friend.Scared to click, someone pls provide context

I don't understand, why not just open another porn website?
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.

Lol, there's even a warning. The first one I saw was fucking hilarious, thanks for the recommendation!
-
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
Damn, the whole world really is going authoritarian.

Because they're two completely different things.

They did the same in my puritanical US state that passed a similar law.

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.
VPN becomes VPS and life goes on.
