It’s smart to be using a VPN for any sort of adult internet use these days anyway. Vixen Media Group is extorting people by threatening to leak their identity if they don’t pay up[0]. And not by a 3rd-party collections company either - it’s their own parent company making the demands.

Lovely, people would go to prison, just to see some porn!

France has very stupid and strict laws, that apply accross borders! For example paternity test gets you two years, even when physically done in another country!
