    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.

        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.

            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 😵

                      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.

                      Because they're two completely different things.

                          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.

                              It's called DNS tunneling it's typically used for data exfiltration tactics, but it's also great if you're desperate to punch through even the toughest paid WiFi paywalls to Google something really quick slow because you fucked something up on your phone lmao

                                    When it’s not about protecting kids, it’s about fighting drugs

                                    They always have a "good" reason to remove our freedom, because apparently security seems much more important, and it seems like it’s the only way to do it. Lol.
