It's one of the few places i have managed to find some like minded people when it comes to some sexual interests of mine, it would probably make me sad for a bit if i can't use it anymore.

We'll see what happens, being EU i would assume they start with some decent fines followed by some heavier ones before they actually pull the plug tho.

  They are getting downvoted because they are making a bad faith argument. They state banning a for profit website for not complying with the laws is somehow equal to censorship, this is obviously not true.

  Yeah, because all censorship is evil /s
