They have to fight this battle. Traffic was probably down 80% due to one cabinet member not knowing VPNs exist.

'Alors enfants de la patrieeeeuh'

So it was just a little death?

I see what you did there...

They also got rid of video ratings, porn really is corporate!

Le petit mort , ahem, comes in many forms...

Way more clever than I was expecting here, well done.

There's so many reasons trying to force companies to implement age verification is a bad idea, and "to protect the children" is a nonsense excuse. That said, it's kinda scary if a government can't regulate business behaviour when interacting with their citizens (who are inside the country).

Now bring it back to Texas

The alternative, where a government can restrict the actions of companies in other jurisdictions is more scary.

So just a conspiracy to funnel money into vpn companies then. /s

They CAN regulate the company, if the people want it.

They clearly didn't

My lemmy-fu fails me to know how to do the emoji but I salute U

I doubt VPN companies paid off the French government

Pornhub attacked France by retreating, France surrendered.

First let's talk about your government. You've gotta do something before getting a reward.

Why is that scary, it’s done all the time.

It’s probably a good idea not to have corporations just run rampant and do what they want

Yet it’s constantly done, like sure online gambling and marketing of drugs etc
