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

    This is how young boys learn to computer. It won't do shit to stop anything. It's a waste of time.

    How do you know it's just boys? Seems an odd assumption, considering the nature of omission of information with this.

      Authoritarians have embraced internet culture somehow.

      I'm curious how they got Gen Z so curtailed.

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

        Age verification in a porn database is odd to me, from a privacy point of view AND a massive undertaking for the porn company. And then there's the puritan culture of wanting to block teenagers from watching porn? Seems a very anti-French thing to me, but I'm also pretty ignorant of actual French culture. I assumed French culture would be like, once you have the urges, you'll go seeking, and if you need to look at the internet in the safety of your own bedroom, is better than unexpected pregnancies to satisfy urges.

        What's the deal with all of this, anyway? What are the arguments here?

          Get Alldebrid, yes it’s paid but it’s cheap if you are just getting a vpn for porn you might as well get Alldebrid and you can use it to stream movies on stremio as well , then install the Alldebrid browser extension. Go to Adultdb.io click one of the links, scan the page with the extension. It will find the rapdigator link even if you don’t solve the captcha. Then click on the link in the extension and then it takes you to the Alldebrid page where you can download or stream the movie at basically the best quality. Also Alldebrid works with torrents so you can add torrents from xxxclub.to and usually it’s already cached and you can watch it immediately.

          Also great for VR just load the torrents into Alldebrid, then go to the Alldebrid media folder page on your headset with DeoVR or HereSphereVR then you can stream VR porn directly, no need to download.

              But we love our mods. What about freedom of speech online? People just too addicted to porn and can’t even muster an ounce of criticism or critical thinking.

                  What are the arguments

                  "Protect delicate children's eyes from seeing nudity"

                  I think that's about it

                    Wait aren't they proposing the same thing in the US as well? It's a fairly standard thing of right-wing governments to just demand the impossible with no understanding about it could possibly be achieved.

                    For now it's not nation wide, it's just up to states if they want to implement an age verification law like that. They want to make it so that in order to prove your identity/age you need to do something like upload a copy of your ID/Drivers License that will be linked with your "research" accounts.

                    They say it's to "save the children" and shit like that but the end goal really is to basically shame people who enjoy researching things because Jesus says it's bad.

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

                              The percentages of respondents in surveys on infidelity answering "not a moral issue" from France are a bit of a cultural difference (from Australian perspective, anyway)

                                    Home video stuff is arguably the best!

                                    Often filmed with nothing but desire to share the joy. Vivid, real, as opposed to the carefully curated studio plastic, or OF crap where people have it for the money, and with all the ethical and other concerns about it.

                                    But I know there are always two sides to look at the issue. Studio production is obviously more perfected, and that's what many like

                                        Protest on them trying to enact age consent laws.

                                        By showing the message rather than Pornhub's vast library of adult content, Aylo "is communicating directly with the French people to tell them how dangerous, how potentially privacy-infringing, and how ineffective the French law is", Solomon Friedman of Aylo's owner, Ethical Capital Partners, told reporters in a video call on Tuesday.

                                        Paris has this year gradually introduced requirements for all adult websites to have users confirm their age with details like a credit card or ID document.

                                        In a bid to preserve privacy, operators must offer a third-party "double-blind" option that would keep the platforms themselves from seeing users' identifying information.

                                        Edit - the sauce - Pornhub, YouPorn owner suspends access to French users over age verification law

                                          Age verification in a porn database is odd to me, from a privacy point of view AND a massive undertaking for the porn company. And then there's the puritan culture of wanting to block teenagers from watching porn? Seems a very anti-French thing to me, but I'm also pretty ignorant of actual French culture. I assumed French culture would be like, once you have the urges, you'll go seeking, and if you need to look at the internet in the safety of your own bedroom, is better than unexpected pregnancies to satisfy urges.

                                          What's the deal with all of this, anyway? What are the arguments here?

                                          I'm not aware of the exact motivations of all the actors. What follows are my guesses.

                                          My guess would be that

                                          • Some député want to protect children from the most dangerous types of porn (which I can hear on some level, porn can be addictive for some people and can lead to negative behaviour, children are always more sensitive).
                                          • Some probably think that all porn is bad and want to prevent anyone from consuming it, this would only be a first step for those.
                                          • Some definitely want to be able to spy on everyone and use this as an excuse to further reduce privacy and freedom

                                          You might not be aware depending where you are from, but France is on a slippery slope towards Fascism, the far right is gaining more power every day, a lot of people think it is very plausible that a far right president is elected on the next election (2027), along with a parliament's majority.
