UK newsstands will sell ‘porn passes’ to verify ages under new laws

Was that before or after you watched it?

Before but we got rumbled by a friend's mother

Will this work like a swipe card kind of thing?

I've seen this movie .


Sadly I fear this will just be another pirate blockade. Great for headlines and election campaigns but achieve very little in reality.

Come to think of it, I don't really know why watching an adult film collectively seemed like a good idea!

It seems like a good idea at the time and then when you get into the action you slowly start to look around and realise the horrendous mistake you've all made.

Username + thread = Gold.

If I find the porn boring that night then can I return the pass for a refund?????

 

[Devrij]

With that in mind, a 16 year old can drink a pint in a pub if it's with a meal, would the same apply with one of these passes!?

Son, you're old enough now that you came upstairs and watched some porn with your dad. You need to learn how to watch it in moderation before you go off and do it yourself. And don't expect to get any of that Brazilian fart porn, you'll be on softcore until you're 18 and can handle the hard stuff.

Tommy Tankers card.

Is it also a requirement for the person selling the pass to judge you silently with their eyes? Maybe tut a bit? Some of that sweet Catholic guilt porn.

They could charge extra for that! Missed opportunity there.

I really hope that whatever system they use for these 16 digit cards gets completely undermined shortly after release.

Then they will go after VPNs and probably give them the same treatment despite that it would cause serious problems or inconvenience for people who have an actual need for VPNs or other types of secure tunnelling.

You'll need a VPN licence. All non approved VPN providers will be blocked.

Me too. It's clearly the thin end of the wedge. And porn is bing used because most Telegraph/Mail types would rather vote Corbyn than admit to watching porn.

It's a typical abused of government power led by public shaming and peer pressure.

Cheers, I just won't have a signature if it's that much hassle but the other time I think I've sworn on the forums was in a thread this morning where a guy was trying to sell illegal passports and I called him out for it and reported the thread.

Just report the post and dont post in the thread especially swear in there

If its a pass will it be like a cd key type of thing, in which case will retailers be selling them online (and thus negating the point) but also competing with each other to keep the price low? I wonder if they will have a helpline, like when windows fails to activate.

No fear, I think all of us put together on this forum will have a full backup of all the p0rn ever produced

Would it be available through the OcUK shop - free Haribo with every purchase...

Free box of man size tissues?

Snatch Cards?

So what are they going to do about sites like Reddit? They surely won't block access to the entire site over this and I can't see Reddit being particularly interested in implementing an ID system for the 18+ areas.
