Don't see a problem with this.

When the data leaks and everyone who has ever been on a porn site gets marred as a result, or blackmailed, you probably will.

How long do ISPs store records currently?

So, you can legally have sex at 16, but we'll make new laws so you have to be over 18 to watch it online.

This country is messed up.

Again, not that bothered. Not a huge amount there to hang me with to be honest.

Though I do accept and agree with the point made earlier that I'd rather have violent content protected. I think all content on the internet should be allowed (unless it's illegal), but better verification of who is accessing what is not a bad thing - but then again it's a pointless exercise as a) who's going to monitor it b) if you want to avoid being tracked/traced you'll do what you need to do to hide your activity.

One would expect credit card fraud to rise once it becomes mandatory to use a credit card to access porn sites.

You aren't bothered at the idea that some people will be susceptible to black mail, particularly politicians etc?

I think that all "unusual" porn like, lady boys, violent, rape scenes, etc etc should be restricted and age rated in some way but normal porn like big boobs, threesome, and mature should be kept as. I see that shiz as healthy!!

It's cute you think politicians will be part of this.

Lmao yep.

Just like how they hurried through the snoopers charter but made sure to take extra care to ensure they were exempt.

How about a large van that has a 20' lettering "PORN VAN" that blares out music from loudspeakers "THIS IS THE PORN VAN" and the you have to come out and press a big red button and then it blares out "HORNETSTINGER WATCHES PORN" This then registers you to allow you to view porn websites.

I feel like that this might kill the moment for me.....

Sorry, what's wrong with that exactly? The other two examples I can sort of see as being controversial (though there's an entire sub set of kinks and fetishes that fit into those particular categories), but whats unhealthy about watching a transvestite or a transsexual do there thing?

If you start saying only certain porn is 'healthy', that's when it all starts to crumble. Either it's all fine or none of it is (providing it's between consenting adults, of course)

Think Maybot said she wanted data kept for one year at least.

Well, technically, they're no exempt.
You can still get a search, but you need the PMs permission, which of course she'll surely offer freely :rolleyes:

Ummm im confused by this.... Are you joking? lol. Seriously though the range of "categories" out there can be huge so of course there will be more "acceptable" categorises.

You said "you" in your reply so I was replying with only me in mind.

I'm thoroughly not bothered about this. ISP already know what I browse and do online.

Don't panic people! You'll still be able to download porn from newsgroups easily. Looking at porn on websites is so 1990s.

Not joking at all. What's wrong with watching a transvestite or a transsexual getting there groove on?

There is also a bunch of porn on reddit.

They gonna block reddit too?
