All this is doing is bolstering the Dark Web. Pushing all this stuff underground is way more dangerous than allowing freedom of speech (and search).

But do people in those countries still use them? Have they figured a way around the ban or are they fucked and completely cut-off?

How can a country ban something that companies have been using for years so employees can work remote?

That's never easy to say.
Making the effort harder to get to adult may prevent some problems (inadequate behavior), however it's like drugs: Is it safer to buy weed at the tabacco shop or at the drug dealer's place?
In the first case, it's readily available everywhere, in the second case, your customers will have to meet dodgy people...

Better reach but safer friends or less reach for more risk to the customers.

I would just appreciate that they stop demagogy.
Did they assess the cost/benefits?

I would appreciate to see a real rational (this makes this or that) about the effect on pornography on children (besides the social stigma that some wants to enforce [let's create problems to people so we can finally feed our political narrative].)

To prove that Lebensborn were shit, they just made the lives of the children impossible.
I mean who cares about children when you can be a politician.

If you want something, you can always get it, one way or another...

it´s called communism


freedom, what freedom...


This is all related to the massive stir crazy people suggesting their offsprings should be protected from porn, yet they buy their kids phones & laptops when their kids demand them & their kids go out in gangs & talk like shit to teachers & police with no respect

Parental control is lacking in much of the UK, as it is in the US

Ive been thinking this for a while now since usa. ban porn - vpn usage increases - ban vpns - more tor usage. tor is at 3 million a month. There making dark web mainstream.

I forget which state, but I know some wanted or already have made it a crime to use VPN to bypass location base restrictions. Mostly driven by online gambling, but still.

They'll overdo it and hopefully the citizens will punish them in next election. In the end this whole AV shit show is just another excuse to control citizens and put rules on them.

Red China has been blocking sites since about 2012 and of course vpns are illegal but there's always a few that work.

Especially those owned by bigshot party members.

So just signup for BorisJohnsonVPN based out of Isle of Man with servers in Hungary. Done.
