EU parliament accepted a last minute amendment, mandating age verification for pornographic (whatever that is) content online, punishable with up to one year prison sentence.
This was rolled into a directive concerning CSAM. Because adults accessing porn need to be de-anonymised to avoid child exploitation?
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

I was thinking asian/middle east, ideally a place that does not care for US/EU
I’m not so sure about using a middle-eastern VPN to watch porn.
Why’s that?
The middle east doesn’t look at all kindly on it.
Yet theyre not a surveillance state to the same extend as the EU. So overall better I think.
Then there’s the fact that they don’t give a damn about what people do in Europe or America. As a matter of fact, to them porn and similar content is a sure way to self-destruction, so “when your enemy is doing something stupid, don’t interfere” comes into place. It’s highly unlikely they’ll block this for other countries.
