I'm shocked that this many people feel the need to disobey a rule that is only there to help the children. Next step must be to ban VPNs altogether, and enforcing all Internet users to be identified with their real identity (/s obviously).

Out of the loop here, why did Pornhub leave France?
schrieb am 10. Juni 2025, 18:39 zuletzt editiert vonAs one headline put it "PornHub pulls out of France".

That'll be really slow.

Blocking porn has got to be the most "why even bother" thing

It's always about control. Conservatives want to control how you consume sexual content.

I blame the French for 120 days of Sodom burning my eyeballs, and I just skimmed the Wikipedia article. One of them chose to print that instead of burning the notes. Anyways, why is the hub being blocked in France?

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.

If you are paying for a VPN and you have buffering problems, change to another VPN, that one is shit.

Anyone with more than two brain cells to click together could have told them this would happen. Some of them did. Not that they would/did listen.
schrieb am 10. Juni 2025, 18:50 zuletzt editiert vonAh yes, chat control, the crackdown on encryption, backdoors, etc., all forgotten? So now thousands of French people are deliberately using VPNs for something that is now illegal. Well, the politicians won't take advantage of this to take action against VPNs and encryption... To protect the children, of course...

BTW, who even had the brilliant idea to block pr0n for French of all people?

Except it's fucking awful to wait for buffering over Tor or a VPN
schrieb am 10. Juni 2025, 18:51 zuletzt editiert vonWhy use Tor? It's been compromised for years now. Just use I2P. You can torrent with that too.
