Out of the loop here, why did Pornhub leave France?
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.
Age verification requirements.
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
Everywhere has religious people that think they deserve to control others.
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.
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.
Ironically, it was PornHub’s parent company that was set to run the UK age verification scheme.
Did we? My scientific search the other night proves that false, and I'm not on VPN.
They banned the physical books, but they can't really stop the internet
Why? To prevent British women from having expectations?
Because female cum is urine according to the powers that be, and that's too much for them.
It was literally the next post in my feed 😅
Thank you!
As one headline put it "PornHub pulls out of France".
