      But think of the children!!!

      Because for the right, apparently porn is bad for children, but people grooming the same children is fine.

      But in all seriousness, being goomed by 2 people when I was not even 14 has done more damage to me than playing black ops 2 with all the graphic scenes on my Wii-U when I was 12

  More than TikTok’s US ban doesn’t mean much given they blocked users who originate from the US regardless of VPN location

    No one reads the damned article. France didn’t ban porn nor Porn Hub, they put in a place an age verification law and now PH is banning French IP addresses.

    • june@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Right, and TikTok banned users it previously identified as being from the US rather than doing the IP-origin ban PornHub uses given they don’t require an account nor app.

  If you at all think that people can be addicted to social media, you could draw a correlation from this to porn addiction.

  I know a lot of you either don’t think porn can be addictive and/or don’t think it can have negative effects on society.

  Ask yourselves why the logic works for social media but not porn.

    If everything you can get addicted to were made illegal, there’d be nothing legal left.

    So alcohol and tobacco should be entirely banned as well? We should start with these, they’re way worse

    To be fair, potentially addictive or not, I wouldn’t support a ban on social media either. The practical requirements needed to effectively restrict access to information in the modern age (both porn and social media being examples of information) are such that I generally view the cure as worse than the disease, so to speak, and view the least bad option as being to just give up on legal restrictions and just deal with the consequences instead. Addiction is harmful, but most consumers of such information aren’t harmed by it, and restriction inherently requires monitoring and removing internet anonymity to a degree that I find unacceptable.

      Didn’t say anything about banning porn or social media. Just saying that they’re both addictive and have negative consequences on society. Yall can keep your porn. Relax.

    Ehh… Application of a addiction model is somewhat controversial for pornography (the ground seems divided on whether it’s a compulsion or an addiction). Social media, however, is no less controversial (it’s just the media likes to hype this more).

    I will say - the point of a porn site is to sell user data and deliver ads, whereas the point of social media is to keep the user scrolling by any means possible. By its design, the latter cultivates addiction as a clear goal (the goal to scroll is artificially imposed), whereas the case for the former is less clear (the goal to masturbate isn’t something porn created). In essence, one creates a drive and then sates it, whereas another sates an existing drive.

    Honestly, I think, at the moment, we’re on the “violent video games cause violence” stage of the research. In other words, not enough data to decide so the media has decided for us.

    maybe we should ban all the vices you don’t partake of but leave the rest intact

      But we love our mods. What about freedom of speech online? People just too addicted to porn and can’t even muster an ounce of criticism or critical thinking.

    Unlike most other VPN providers, Riseup does not log your IP address.

    Doesn’t that start with a blatent lie? Which serious VPN does that nowadays?
