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

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.

You absolutly right, but here in the Mecca of internet freedom, we don't likey.

I’m all good, thanks

To be clear: yes it has some impacts, but I believe the majority of problems could be avoided if the parents did their job and told them that it wasn’t like that in real life. The impacts are in most cases not as extreme as other addictions by a large margin.

Asking for identity like this isn’t fine as we all know porn isn’t really well accepted by everyone, including employers, so having a data leak or just having our preferences linked to our identity doesn’t make us confortable.

People will always be able to go around and find porn every way, and I bet people that ended up on porn either searched for it, or went to a shady website you can’t regulate anyway, or went to some social media where some asshole posted explicit photos, which imo is the most likely.

Ouch

What a great way to prevent minors from living their lives

And sharing things with your family

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.

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.

Any context why PornHub blocked access?

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.

Put the big booty on the good ol' family screen and let’s wank together!

What are the arguments

"Protect delicate children's eyes from seeing nudity"

I think that's about it

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.

The French are totally down with revolution and cigarettes; VPN is a focus for nerd shit; inherently not French.

I mean, neither does the Web by now.

He said PornHub not Proton

it's not like sexual desire is human nature

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)
