Don't people realize there are hundreds of free porn video sites besides Pornhub? With bigger selection too because the lesser known sites usually don't get half their content DMCAed.

Paying money for a VPN just to access ONE free porn site? Sigh. I really hate web 3.0

I'm pretty satisfied as a subscriber. Slowly using proton mail for more and more important accounts. Constant usage of the VPN. Trying to use the calendar more but still haven't broken my Google Calendar habits. Proton Drive I use over google; I just need a Linux desktop application. Proton pass, still haven't given that a go. Comfortable with KeepassXC and managing the backups myself. Proton Docs, it's OK. Solid start. Hoping that notes partnership/acquisition eventually replaces Google Keep for me as a cloud notes application. I have pretty strong confidence now in the company regardless of the slow Linux developments

Not sure where I got it form, but I have a Proton VPN client on Linux. It is pretty barebone, but it works.

Personally I just pay the 12,10$ for Bitwarden and use SimpleLogin aliasses together with that.

I just miss Microsoft Office on Linux, but that has nothing to do with Proton.

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.'”

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

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

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 178 points 1 week ago (21 children)

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

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 110 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Plus an excuse to collect more data.

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 week ago

Yeah the point is just to soften the populace to the idea. Our fucking PM covered for pedophile priests in a Catholic school 30 years ago, he doesn't give any fuck about kids.

It's not about blocking porn.

It's always about control. Conservatives want to control how you consume sexual content.

[–] Fermion@feddit.nl 64 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's not about that either. It's about connecting photo ID to browsing profiles and deanonymising the internet.

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

[–] FireIced@lemmy.super.ynh.fr 98 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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 😵

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 53 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Damn, the whole world really is going authoritarian.

They should actually take to the streets (again). Not joking. What is this nanny-state BS?

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).

How about you just parent your children? But it's not about the children, that's just always the convenient excuse

[–] Finch9678@europe.pub 71 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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

[–] Stillwater@sh.itjust.works 182 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

France passed a law requiring porn sites to verify age of all site visitors. Pornhub is blocking France instead of forcing its visitors to provide ID.

[–] pressedhams@lemmy.blahaj.zone 96 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Age verification requirements.

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 99 points 1 week ago (9 children)

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

We have our own homegrown bigots, thank you

Why do the French even need Pornhub when their basic movies are very porn adjacent?
