It is so easy though. Enforce passeport authentication to access service provider internet. Decline this into as many controls as you want based on race genre nationality age etc
I mean that’s what they’ll say it’s for. Because nobody wants to let kids watch porn obviously. But in practice; 

People who want to visit these websites will have to install an application for government-licensed digital certification on their mobile phones to prove that they are at least 18 years old.

Yeah that’s very different to blocking access to porn for minors. >

The Reddit take: "This is clearly government overreach, an attempt to backdoor computers!"
The reality: This is some minister or group of them trying to raise their profile with a perennial move, one which is absolutely never really enacted. >

So a government official who is promoting government overreach..... >

Right, as a career builder, not a realistic plan. >

thats how it all starts buddy. better rally against it now as hard as possible instead of just treating it like some far fetched idea which could never actually take hold in society. >

This isn't rallying, this is voidscreaming. >

gotta start somewhere dude. >

Question is, what do they define as a pornographic site? Twitter openly allows porn, and if people have to visit a site to tweet it's going to kill the platform in the country. People by and large aren't going to install an app to upload pics of the meal they last ate with the caption "thinking of him." >

So does Reddit. Going to be a very tough implementation. >

And yet the age of consent in France is 15.  So you can have sex with someone who isn't old enough to watch porn for three more years. >

Literally the French President was banging his 32 year old teacher at 15 who is now his wife >

sorry what >

You heard him. >

I hope they know that a fucking 6 year old will be able to find their way around those apps. This is old people reacting to things that scare them. Kids shouldn't be looking at porn, obviously. But this isn't going to stop them. >

They will probably install a VPN instead of a government app >

And that's a smooth segue to our sponsor, Nord
- kid >

Why not just be better parents... crazy fucking thought >

Bold move to boost the IT education of the youth. Bravo! >

Pretty much. I doubt any teenager's gonna say "alright, guess I'm not watching porn anymore" and leave it at that. >

"I'll just use my NordVPN!" >

Lol yeah let's not hold parents responsible for monitoring their children's internet usage. Instead we should make everyone install government mandated spyware. >

“I’m over 18,  ”
Good job, pays des droits de l’Homme >

I think you'll find it's:

Je suis 18?
[Oui] [Non]

If there's one thing I know for certain of our southern neighbour, using English for this would be more offensive than the block itself. >

*J'ai 18 ans ?
In French, you say your age as a possession rather than something that you are. Also, you put a space before any punctuation that is 2 marks. >

Yeah, the guy in the photo looks like a porn loremaster. I can see why he wants to gatekeep. >

what an absolute waste of time and resources >

Yes, porn being found by 11-year olds isn't ideal/good, yes it has huge impacts on development of young children. No, invasion of privacy is not the answer to this. >

It is, in fact, the only answer. >

Good luck. >

are you older than 18?  yes. ok proceed. >

yeah, good fucking luck guys. genuinely one of the most impossible endeavors i've heard of. >

Of all countries to restrict porn, this was not on my bingo card. >

It's only considered porn if it's not in French.
"Mon Dieu!  Plus rapide!!! Oui! Oui!" makes it acceptable. >

this is going to be impossible to enforce unless they erect a "great wall" type of firewall like china (which they won't and isn't even 100% effective)      
Laws that are unenforceable are fucking useless. How can so much ignorance be possible on supposedly qualified lawmakers? >

Hehehe erect. >

And a word from today's sponsor ___ VPN. >

"Todays podcast is brought to you by SurfShark! Do you want to watch internet content such as TV shows and Porn as if you lived in another country? Visit SurfShark.com/Barrot to get 30% off your subscription." >

Gonna go on a limb and assume the company that will have to implement this is linked to a sitting politician in some way. >

Oh, nothing like that at all.  Their spouse merely sits on their board of directors for tax advice.
