"ban porn" sounds like banning wind or sun. 35 years ago in USSR - an environment where banning things was a normal practice and frequently worked, and porn was a banned thing - in elementary school we had porn - it were texts copied on type writer :)

Oh, pornography is still banned in some countries that used to be in the soviet bloc. In Bulgaria for instance, even though the country is part of the EU now, porn is still absolutely banned. Possession of porn, selling of porn, disseminating porn - all illegal with jail time. The only thing you can buy is erotica, like Playboy and others like it featuring naked women, sometimes with naked men, doing naked things. Whether a work is classified porn or erotica is decided on a bribe by bribe, I mean case by case basis. The law is practically not enforced, you are absolutely free to browse the entire internet and can purchase por.. I mean erotica magazines freely.
