The reason of this justice decision is the too easy acces of minors to pornographic plateformes. Is this the first time that websites like Pornhub will be banned in an european country?

I believe people should avoid tubesites and pay for their porn but it's the PARENT'S job to protect their kids from porn. Banning tubesites isn't going to stop kids from looking at porn. That's the parent's job, also kids need sex ed in school ( at age 12) that teaches them about health masturbation, and porn habits. Maybe that could be talked about in a high school sex-ed class. But sex ed should be taught in school around 11 or 12 of age.

The internet is for porn. Ban the internet. Why don't they enforce the use of the .xxx domain so it's easier to block for parents, or organizations if they like to patronize minors. Either way kids are not dumb and porn is only a Google search away regardless.

The decree from the french governement is now out. The CSA, the regulation authority of the medias, is allow to ban several free porn plateforms in France. Second european country after the United Kingdom.
Do you think this could be a politic decision? Feminists and conservatives christians (catholics in France) could agree with this decree, but I believe that the vast majority of the population don't care about.
^ Exactly they don't care whether or not those sites exist , plus they found the lockpick to close many sites without looking as censorship , they do that to save their kid from free porn too easy to watch , problem is they won't get porn from there there are so many tubesites out there , but the real problem would be to identify adult porn consumers that would push out of the business many legit adult consumers from either the tubesites and the regular sites , nobody is going to provide a copy of their ID to any pornsite especially those living in countries with high levels of censorship , nobody would put their faces in any porn database
Many years ago I was a member of a german site at one point they closed the site to any view and preview except for those who provided a copy of their ID to prove they were adults in order to prevent porn availability to any minor , I still had some 20 days worth of access , but I didn't do that , I just reached the customer service and just canceled , end of story , from then on no German site for me , I don't even know how many other sites did that nor how long that continued , I lost 20 days I already paid for and that was enough , for fear a new site could do that to me , I Jjust buried Germany that day , I only bought dvds from stores or german porn from other countries.

Just like say to there's difference between anti-sex work feminist and feminist(sex-positive feminist). just like there's a difference between conservatives and conservative Christians. Just like to point that out.

The companies behind these sites will just make new "free" sites, nevermind the other options from other companies.
Gonna have to do better than that lol

"Won't someone think of [s]God[/s] [s]the women[/s] the children?"
In the long run it's establishing a widely accepted censorship within the EU. It's just easy to start with adult content or "hate crime" like the German "Netzwerkdurchsuchungsgesetz" does. The final stage will always be "The Great Wall of China".
It's got nothing to do with minors, that's just the pretext of the day used to attack pornography. Look at the latest headlines on the topic in just one newspaper: "Protecting minors: court rejects pornsite block" "Pornography is so powerful it cannibalized eroticism" "Youporn, pornhub... pornsites soon blocked?" "Minors' access to pornography: associations reach out to the courts" "How Onlyfans pushed teenagers towards homegrown porn" "Pornstar Ron Jeremy charged with raping & assaulting 21 victims" "Pornhub wants to make the great museums sexier... without their consent"
It's a constant barrage of negativity against porn, this after a year of a plague that forced very strict lockdowns in France where people were asked to stay home for months on end and weren't even allowed to leave their home to go shopping or walk the dog without first getting an electronic authorization permit for each outing. A year where for many single & lonely people pornography was their sole source of sexual pleasure & relief.
People in the EU already can't watch age-restricted youtube videos unless they supposedly send youtube/google a copy of their ID (and from what I've read even if you send it more often than not you still won't have access). That means virtually most music videos, movie trailers, game videos, a lot of news items etc.
"I believe people should avoid tubesites and pay for their porn ..."
Tubesites are used by pornstars and amateurs for generating income. Sometimes they upload a short clip to promote their onlyfans site and some sites like Pornhub do have paid premium content. So all this will do is stifle good amateur content.
I've never been asked to provide an ID , they just ask me to log-in , my gmail though is 18 years old or maybe more , I have that since when it was a beta and could only be obtained through an invite , I mean if even my own gmail is of legal age ...
That's because tubes have all traffic by giving viewers free porn. What they're doing is hoping someone buys one of their videos but sales don't match views. They're getting millions of views but not millions of dollars. The majority of those who visit will never buy porn because it's free. I've seen studios with 400 videos on tube sites, who would buy when they can watch for free? it's not a s sustainable business model. The amateurs are either exhibitionists or they grew up watching free porn. These new content creators know nothing about DVDs or paysites, their entire way of making money is uploading to tube sites because that's how they first saw porn.
Be well
