Paris and the porn industry have squabbled for years over how to verify viewers’ ages.

    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.

        There absolutely is. But that is besides the fact that people will consume porn no matter what - so we need to make it as safe as possible for everyone involved. That means proper regulations and working together with the industry. What exactly will closing ph accomplish besides giving traffic to even less regulated sites with even more questionable content?

          I think “blocking” a website in one location is a shifty solution on its own. Not only will people do as you say, but they’ll get around the block other ways and still access ph itself.

          I never actually suggested blocking ph. Not sure where that’s coming from here.
