Unfortunately, nobody is competing on such features. There is simply no (even paid) alternative available.

The main problem is that somewhere some database will hold the information about citizens and a "likesPorn" flag. That information is personal. Alcohol and cigarettes both have age limits, but there is no database that people need to register into ("wantsBooz = TRUE") before being able to purchase their first drink.

The adolescents teaching each other how to get around filters - that is exactly what ends up happening. A few years back, Turkey had a pretty long ban on Youtube. Countless sites for tweaking browser settings specifically geared for Turkish Youtubers emerged. There was even a cartoon by a prominent artist that depicted the PM declaring his agenda: "We won't lift the ban until we have 70 million DNS experts."

"swimming costumes"... are you British? :)
But yes, this apprehension of nudity is something I've always found so bizarre. Why is seeing skin of our species such a big deal? At what point of our social evolution did it evolve that way (because the idea of clothing is pretty universal to humans).
