French court won’t block Pornhub in France — for now
Paris and the porn industry have squabbled for years over how to verify viewers’ ages.
How do people care so much about the age of users, but not give a shit about the age and treatment of performers?
Oh for sure. It’s a very complicated problem and a lot of people are invested in allowing the abuse to continue (otherwise ph would have been prosecuted and shut down).
I don’t agree that age gating is simple. Not only can people lie, but handling different jurisdictions is complicated af.
My reaction was more to the specific complaint than the mechanism. I definitely appreciate how hard any of this is to implement with stuff on the internet.
They care about both, though.
Not the French regulators, or they’d be block PH based on the underage and non-consensual content, not just user age verification.
(But I’m not up on French politics, so maybe that’s part of it that just isn’t mentioned in this article.)
Not sure how blocking pornhub will help with that. They have at least some level of moderation. Working with them together could help much more.
Agree to disagree that there’s any good or non-exploitative porn. I also don’t believe that ph can be in any way trusted based on their past actions.
I know people are really invested in seeing this a certain way though.
