BlueMagma@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•VPN Registrations Increase by 1,000%, less than Hour After PornHub Blocked France From Accessing its Website.English5·2 days agoI’m not aware of the exact motivations of all the actors. What follows are my guesses.
My guess would be that
- Some député want to protect children from the most dangerous types of porn (which I can hear on some level, porn can be addictive for some people and can lead to negative behaviour, children are always more sensitive).
- Some probably think that all porn is bad and want to prevent anyone from consuming it, this would only be a first step for those.
- Some definitely want to be able to spy on everyone and use this as an excuse to further reduce privacy and freedom
You might not be aware depending where you are from, but France is on a slippery slope towards Fascism, the far right is gaining more power every day, a lot of people think it is very plausible that a far right president is elected on the next election (2027), along with a parliament’s majority.

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

It is to protest against a new law requiring porn site to verify the users age. Which they argue will have dire consequences for security and privacy (I fully agree about the danger)
BlueMagma@sh.itjust.worksto Science Memes@mander.xyz•Well whenever you notice something like *that*, a wizard did itEnglish1·4 days agoI get where this meme is coming from, but I think it’s a bad idea to remove a person’s credibility if they believe in a thing that I consider supernatural/bullshit/pseudoscience/charlatanesque.
Firstly: a supernatural phenomenon today could be a scientific field tomorrow. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Secondly: They could simply be ill-informed about the state of knowledge about that subject, or they had a very bizarre experience that they don’t know how to explain otherwise, or they never thought too much about it.
They do lose credibility to me when I present facts and arguments as to why I believe it to be false, and they fail to show they can have a rational debate to explain why they think I should change my mind or understand that they could be in the wrong and acknowledge it.
