Blocking porn has got to be the most "why even bother" thing
schrieb am 10. Juni 2025, 18:40 zuletzt editiert vonIt's not about blocking porn.
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?

The VPNs will be harder to ban. Not just from a technical standpoint, but politically as well. Big businesses will be absolutely opposed to VPN bans.

To be fair, it's not a free plan of a VPN that's heavily throttled, but I can even play multiplayer FPS games with only a few milliseconds of additional delay, and my overall max upload and download speed is almost exactly identical to when I have my VPN off.
