    I have to admit, of all the nations on earth, I never expected this sort of puritanical theatrical authoritarianism out of the french.

      To clarify, the french didn’t ban pornhub, it’s the company behind pornhub who decided to deny it’s access in France to protest a law proposal that is currently getting examined in parliament

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

      They’ve been trying to block it for many years now.

      France has been going downhill for quite some time. Many proposals for chat control and tracking… even recently, we got a law proposal that aimed at banning E2EE 😵

          When it’s not about protecting kids, it’s about fighting drugs

          They always have a “good” reason to remove our freedom, because apparently security seems much more important, and it seems like it’s the only way to do it. Lol.

      I know right? Aren’t there nude beaches in the south of France where people will fuck in broad daylight with others watching?

      French citizens please confirm (for uh, science, and not vacation planning)!

        Yes, there are. But you misunderstood the news: France didn’t block pornhub, pornhub blocked France as a protest against a new law.
