How about mullvad

You said porn is evil. Seems pretty relevant to reply saying things aren't all good or evil.

I could explain it slowly in simpler terms with easy words, if it helps?

If you have a position state it directly instead of hiding behind a low effort platitude.

Is this international unity?

I did. My position is that there is nuance and not everything can be described as good or evil.
Please learn to read.

Profound.

Anytime I hear someone say this I think: they are a pedophile.

If you actually believe this about a situation don't say these words cause that's what comes to mind.

Not surprised you found that profound, considering how long you took to comprehend it.

Go back to watching porn.

Don't people realize there are hundreds of free porn video sites besides Pornhub? With bigger selection too because the lesser known sites usually don't get half their content DMCAed.

Paying money for a VPN just to access ONE free porn site? Sigh. I really hate web 3.0

Not sure where I got it form, but I have a Proton VPN client on Linux. It is pretty barebone, but it works.

Personally I just pay the 12,10$ for Bitwarden and use SimpleLogin aliasses together with that.

I just miss Microsoft Office on Linux, but that has nothing to do with Proton.

Why not zoidberg?

Yes because I'm not buying whisky online am I'm going to a physical store where I can give them my physical ID and they can look at my physical face. Unless I'm wearing a very convincing prosthetic there isn't very much I can do to hide my identity.

Online is harder, just because I have uploaded an ID doesn't mean it's mine. What are they going to do, demand a video as well, because it's not as if video generation hasn't already gotten to the point where it's perfectly capable of faking that kind of thing.

I can see you haven't thought about this at all. You should run for office.

that’s a lack of imagination….
just because i can’t think of a great solution doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
off the top of my head, here’s a system without a centralized surveillance database:

1. porn site gives you a random token,
2. you then hash that with a time-stamp,
3. get the token signed by your government ID system (like a dmv),
4. return the signed hash.
5. the government only knows that you used age verification for something somewhere….

now the hard part is just explaining cryptographic signatures and hashes to people….
of course people could still give a kid a verified account, but at least it’s harder for them to access it, i don’t need perfection….

Go back to church.

The fact that you think that's a burn just proves my point. If you watch porn you should seriously stop. It's terrible for your brain chemistry, personal relationships, emotional health, vitality and spiritual state. It exploits women and severely damages the way men see women. Human sexuality gets hijacked and instead of having a loving relationship people are stuck in private viewing shameful images and pleasuring themselves for years not understanding that they are literally wasting their life and potential. People get addicted to the instant release of porn which harms personal relationships and longer-form activities that take continual effort and nuance and bring a higher order of pleasure and happiness. It's probably good that porn frequently distracts people from having kids because undoubtedly the child would eventually be exposed to it purposefully or not by the parent at some point. So even if I accept your premise -- porn is evil.

You realise most of that could be flipped to say the same thing about religion too, right?
And religion has arguably done more harm to women than porn ever has or will, so if porn is evil, religion must be too.

With places like onlyfans surging in popularity, women (and men) are much less likely to be exploited these days. There's a lot less degrading content out there, and there's many healthy couples who watch (and make) porn together, with no negative impact on their lives.

And I'm not denying some people are affected negatively by it, much like some people become alcoholics rather than only drinking socially.

Nothing in this world is purely good or evil. Those are terms you use for fantasy stories, not the real world.

You realise most of that could be flipped to say the same thing about religion too, right?

Lol okay. What is your worldview that's so great it's going to set me straight? Let me guess "live and let live dude..."

I'm a Christian. The Gospels are very clear about monogamy and that women are to be cherished and treated with respect. I respect women and recognize they are preyed upon constantly by our over-sexualized culture into dressing more provocatively, chasing impossible lifestyles and possibly having an onlyfans or whatever.

And religion has arguably done more harm to women than porn ever has or will, so if porn is evil, religion must be too.

Even if there was a way to quantify that claim (there's not) and I argued from some tradition like Islam (which I don't) you don't even have a moral framework to argue from so your critique is meaningless. You don't know what is harmful and what isnt. This proven by your next "points".

With places like onlyfans surging in popularity, women (and men) are much less likely to be exploited these days.

Says who? Youth and chastity are being exploited. You don't think showing your genitalia to the entire world at 18 will have negative effects to mental, emotional and spiritual health now or later in life? It's nihilistic, degenerate and utterly devoid of meaning and promise. It is the basest form of entertainment, income and existence. It's disgusting and everyone secretly knows it which is why your initial comment was a vague, limp-wristed platitude instead of direct defense of pornography. Something you still lack the conviction to say authoritatively because you know what I'm saying is true.

There's a lot less degrading content out there

Like you would know what is degrading and what isnt.

many healthy couples who watch (and make) porn together, with no negative impact on their lives.

"Healthy". Yeah that sounds real healthy. They are so healthy they have to resort to watching other people having sex when they should be spending time together making or raising kids. Who knows the conditions of the poor souls they are watching.

The fact that you think watching porn is healthy is an indicator that it has had a negative impact on your life.

You have no moral framework which is why this is fine to you. Porn is so disgusting and degenerate you have to be wilfully ignorant or totally blinded not to recognize it.

No one wants their daughter to grow up to be a porn star or their son to grow up to be a porn addict. That in and of itself should be enough evidence that it is a scourge with no generative potential for anyone.

You have more faith in the younger generations technical skills than I do. Either way though I don't want it to be impossible to bypass, just harder to access if you aren't an adult.
