International P0rnhub pulls out of France. Losing traction elsewhere. The decline of non age-verifiable pr0n?

[Cajun]

That's definitely commie gobbledygook.

I'm not advocating for it LOL I'm just saying because it's Digital internet it could happen

 

[heloder]

porn additiction is one of the plagues of modern society - access to it should be curbed drastically

So like, for emergencies only?

 

[GrantB13]

Alcohol is not the same as porn, ie kids cant click on their phone and have immediate access to it, even with a fake id there are effective deterrents that are not available with porn. Survey says!

Same with guns... Survey Says!!

You check mated me lol, when was this Larry Flynt? When you found some comprehension in that thick skull but not enough integrity to agree with me?

Survey Says!!!

Alcohol can lead to instant death of yourself or someone else by drinking and driving. Guns can lead to instant death of yourself or someone else by negligent discharge or malfunction. It's crazy to me that an argument would be made that alcohol and guns are safer than pornography.

Perhaps you should scroll back for more context.

My position is in regards to the ease of access minors/children have to porn and the long term negative consequences, that are beginning to manifest in real time. It has zero to do with safety nor death counts in contrast to other any other vices that affect our culture, primarily our youth. Way to reduce my argument into a complete strawman.

Minors can get MDMA and LSD right now. What makes you think the government can stamp out porn?

Completely missing my point. Perhaps you are dense or simply disingenous.

Are you claiming minors can obtain MDMA and LSD at the click of a button on a smart phone like they can with one google search for porn? (rhetorical)

This article from the BBC talks about it.

Pornhub pulls out of France over age verification law​

​

​

Aylo, the company which runs a number of pornographic websites, including Pornhub, is to stop operating in France from Wednesday.

It is in reaction to a French law requiring porn sites to take extra steps to verify their users' ages.

An Aylo spokesperson said the law was a privacy risk and assessing people's ages should be done at a device level.

Pornhub is the most visited porn site in the world - with France its second biggest market, after the US.

Aylo - and other providers of sexually explicit material - find themselves under increasing regulatory pressure worldwide.

The EU recently announced an investigation into whether Pornhub and other sites were doing enough to protect children.
Aylo has also pulled out of a number of US states, again over the issue of checking the ages of its users.

All sites offering sexually explicit material in the UK will soon also have to offer more robust "age assurance."

Good. In my opinion. Porn is what it is but being able to simply log on to a page and hit "yeah, I'm 18. Duh!" is absolutely fkn abominable.
You can't buy alcohol, cigarettes and a whole load of other things without verification but you can click a link as a young kind and witness abominable and degrading hard-core.

Whether or not you think p0rn should be legal is one thing but taking away easy access is morally superior imo.

Now that Trump pardoned Ross Ulbricht maybe we will get the Silk Road back. What a deserving pardon, huh?

Perhaps you will display some honesty and answer my question, Larry.

Are you making the claim that Silk Road will manifest hardcore illegal substances for a minor off one or two clicks of a smart phone like they can with porn?

Nah, just pointing out that there is a dark web that makes drugs accessible to minors. That's all, Moe.

Right, so not the same. The strawman fallacy offered more appeal than finding common ground apparently

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

That's just the middleman. It starts off with real people fucking. It ends with real people whacking off. Are they going to be kicking down bedroom doors?

I just shoehorned a Trump jab in there. I know how you white knight him.

I'm no fan of Trump. Perhaps you should sharpen your spurs and run a search to see how often I white knight for Trump.

You take yourself way too seriously. Have a nice night. My work is done here anyway.

Taking L's aint easy, especially when they are self inflicted.

I stand by my point. You have done nothing but expose how flimsy your position is, Larry lol.

 

[Lycandroid]

It is similar though, which was my entire point, buttercup

The only point I'm making is that porn isn't tearing apart society like Lycancan was suggesting.

Feel free to keep shouting at the wind

It clearly is, now go shave your palms before anyone notices.

 

[tastaylvr]

porn definitely is destroying society imo

makes you too desensitised to reality

 

[tastaylvr]

How is it tearing society apart? lol.

Because it fucks with your brain, stunts your cognitive ability, reward pathways and emotional regulation.

They gave phones to a tribe outside of society and showed them porn. The men all became more sexually aggressive and it eventually fucked the whole society.

A lot of the current problems young men face in regards to women come from porn and social media

 

[Unknown Pleasures]

While just anecdotal, I've been to a few countries that are secular and have much stricter controls on internet pornography.

NGL, the interactions between the sexes in social settings just seem way superior. Very playful with a lot of comradery. Unfortunately in the western world and increasing obsession with hook up culture, it seems like most interactions are about dudes just trying to get laid.

I personally have always despised hook up culture, and I kind of view people who engage in it (and it definitely increased a lot with social media) are pretty much soulless ghouls and shells of people. Turbo narcissistic with people largely incapable of meaningful conversations and genuine intimacy.
