Just because they are worth less than a human doesn't mean you are free to inflict pain and suffering upon them. I'm vegan and i see animals as below me, i'd kill an animal if it means saving a human life. However that alone doesn't justify paying for them to be abused, raped, and have their throats slit for 15 minutes of taste pleasure when i can just eat something else instead.

The line is to not hurt animals unless you have a reason to.

Ah the classic "i get my meat from local farms, free range and grass fed!" doesn't change the fact that they die for nothing more than your tastebuds, buddy. A horrible existence through and through because you specifically paid for it, on top of being responsible for 18.5% CO2 emissions. It's easy to point the finger at "big corporations" and simply hope that they spontaneously stop polluting without consumers demanding alternatives at the very least.

Good.

what would be a good way of preventing children from accessing porn, then, other than going China's route and straight-up banning it, maybe the extra complexity to access it is good enough to achieve the same goal ?

I agree that it can be a bit of both sides here, however what are the practical ways to prevent that? If you give your kid an hour of iPad time a day or whatever, are you going to stand over their shoulder the whole time? Maybe you have the technical expertise to block certain websites on a case by case basis on your router, but that's not most people. Even then, as soon as they're not on your home network anymore, it's free game. Again, I'm not saying the proposed french way is perfect, or even good, i'm conflicted.

Too young; Unrealistic expectations, stunted emotional growth, disfigured view of women, and generally developing worse fetishes. This is all anecdotal and/or personal experience however.

Overall however i think the porn industry should be abolished, no one should have to do any of this for money, and it objectifies the people involved way too much.

Cool username btw :)

when i pass away, my last thoughts will go to you for not using Firefox

Hilarious, joking about raping animals. Maybe this guy needs a taste of his own medecine.

I agree, i don't think there's any point in having them make another client, the few that are already available are plenty good. More choice doesn't hurt but i won't be angry at them for not making a lemmy 3rd party app.

i will downvote you again

The French government’s drive to prevent children from accessing pornographic content online is well-documented. Few disagree that widely available and openly accessible ‘tube’ sites are unsuitable for minors, but in a world where parental responsibility is considered old-fashioned, not to mention ineffective, France believes that legislation is the only way to protect the country’s children.

Don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, it's for a good cause, exposure to porn at a young age can have some pretty devastating consequences later on. The way they're going about it though, that doesn't sound too good.

It's been there for a couple of years, it'll be fine lol
