I remember a discussion on a train in 1999 (6 hours before the year 2000).

[Woman] "I went to a search engine and typed in 'porn' or 'nude men' or 'nude women' and so on ... all I got was censored stuff. I did not get to see a single nipple."

I thought, "Your search pattern is off."

But she was right. All major search engines only found content with age restrictions (verification) or censored content. Well, that would change with PornHub, YouPorn, and so on.

Until today ...

Germany: Several media outlets talk about age verification for porn sites.

Could you please test this for me?

Can you access:
https://trailers1.bangbros.com/bangbus/bb21044/trailerx/trailer_3000.mp4
My answer: No. Because maybe it's a new trailer?

https://trailers1.bangbros.com/bangbros18/bbe17768/trailerx/trailer_3000.mp4
My answer: Yes. Because it's an old trailer?

My answer: Yes, but I can't play the trailer anymore. A few weeks ago, I could play between 3 or 5 trailers a day.

FR (without VPN of course), my ISP is called "Free" (but it's not :) )

I first have a portal talking about age verification, then the real page but I have to pay.


Talking about France, our actual government wants to forbid access to social media for kids under 15. They want to vote this law before March 2026.
If you read between the lines, it means freedom will be over soon, and so far, not so many people worry about it.

About your links, I can confirm pornhub and co are closed in France.
They choose to close rather than adding an age verification tool (and I think they're right).

Next step is coming very soon: some US states like Indiana ask porn sites to block VPN to comply with their laws.

First - 404 error
Second - Yes
