France Is Protecting Kids From Pornography’s Mind, Body, And Soul Decay. America Should Act Next

Jean-Noel Barrot (French Digital Minister) announced Monday that the French government would Minors can be blocked from accessing pornography on the internet. “I intend to put an end to this scandal,” He stated. “In 2023, it is the end of access to pornography websites for our children.”

He will ask that all adults who wish to view porn must be at least 18 years old. “install an application for government-licensed digital certification on their mobile phones to prove that they are at least 18 years old.” This directive will ban porn sites that do not comply.

This action may surprise Americans, but it is actually happening in France. This is not surprising considering that France has been home for such notables as the Marquis de SadeSerge Gainsbourg, one of the earliest slang composers, was a singer who sang about sex. Whitney Houston was propositioned on French TVPepe Le Pew, a cartoon skunk with sexually aggressive tendencies, was also included inappropriate for today’s young audiences. Was there a Great Awakening that caused the sexually liberal French to become prudish pornographer puritans? 

Not quite. This new policy is coming from the same place as France’s other policy of Ban on smartphones in public schools. There’s simply no benefit to allowing children to consume pornography, and there are some very real harms. It’s an addictive habit that Warps mind, It can ruin relationships, Personal drive is destroyedIt is completely undeniable. Exploitative and depraved By any moral standard. A ban on porn online is a good first step in reviving a once proud country like France. 

The Increasing incidence of mental illnessThe Marriages are decliningThe, and Crisis of masculinity All countries in the developed world share one thing in common: pornography. This is the clear sequence. It is obvious that the sequence begins at an early age. A large majority of men and significant amounts of women are involved in this endeavor are exposed to pornography, and start to watch it on a regular basis.

This can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and distorted ideas of sex, gender, relationships, and identity. It can also cause young people extreme anxiety, delusions and depression. These hangups make it difficult for them to be able to care for others as adults. Many men become miserable losers and are unable to achieve much or have any reason to change.

Pornography is morally incredibly harmful. It is the internet’s prostitution. People who create it are objectifying others who participate in it. Viewers who consume it are therefore conditioned to either see themselves or others as victims or objects of exploitation.

With this moral framework, human dignity is an illusion, empathy is impossible, and using others for one’s own pleasure is encouraged. It is easy to lose the ability to truly love oneself and others, and instead become cynical and hateful of everyone and everything.

However, pornography seems to be the elephant in the room when it comes down to discussing any of these issues affecting young people.
