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

Dr. Cox was right: “I’m fairly sure if they took porn off the internet, there’d only be one website left, and it’d be called ‘Bring Back the Porn.'”

wow, didn't expect that from france. I thought they, of all countries, would be less prudish than Texas about porn.

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).

I mean for context with the TikTok comparison using a VPN didn't get you around the TikTok ban unless you also made an entirely new account.

Texas isn't the first. I think it was started by Germany? I know the UK banned women's orgasms and Australia banned hentai. Heck, India apparently banned porn altogether, ineffectively.

Political theater. "Won't somebody think of the children?" is an easy win for politicians.

Germany didn’t do anything like that. Britain tried to ban porn like this but realized it’s a terrible idea and stepped back from it.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Tumblr the Depraved?

That's because they banned the accounts.

Anyone who has an account on pornhub deserves their ban.

Jokes on them I just have an incredibly high volume of DNS traffic

Except it's fucking awful to wait for buffering over Tor or a VPN

Out of the loop here, why did Pornhub leave France?

That'll be really slow.
