    To clarify, the french didn’t ban pornhub, it’s the company behind pornhub who decided to deny it’s access in France to protest a law proposal that is currently getting examined in parliament

    Ps : The law in question would require all porn sites to verify the age of its users

      This is how young boys learn to computer. It won’t do shit to stop anything. It’s a waste of time.

        Well – this might be more succesful in boostering the IT skills of France’s next generation than any curriculum reform.

        How do you know it’s just boys? Seems an odd assumption, considering the nature of omission of information with this.

          Because the majority of porn watchers are male at about a 4:1 ratio. They aren’t saying it was exclusively boys either, likely just what made sense from their perspective at the time.

      Isn’t that already the case on a lot of the internet?

        I think this law requires you to upload a photo of your ID and says that it’s the website’s fault if underage people use it and they face a hefty fine. It’s a lot more than the standard “click to pinky promise that you’re definitely 18” because PornHub already has that.
