Would you be bothered by a UK Porn block?

[Ice Tea]

The UK is trying to resurrect its failed 'porn-block' law. It would force porn sites to use age-verification tech to keep under-18s out.

"We have to assume the same basic mistakes about privacy and security may be about to be made again," online rights activist Jim Killock told the BBC.

The Online Safety Bill is expected to reach the House of Commons in early March.

All seems quiet, did it fail again?

Apparently to verify your age you have to have a credit card.

Just lol if they think I’m putting my CC details into some dodgy porn site!

You can consent to having sex at 16 but they want to stop you watching a video of someone else have sex till 18.

I was lucky, my dad had a stack of mags and videos in his cupboard left over from his old days of importing certain material from Scandinavia

Doubt they'd implement it like that - there would be some centralise place that one for the Tory lot are running!

 

[Yaayuh!]

It'll just push the younger generation to use VPNs and TOR browsers, which can potentially be a lot worse.

The younger generation should go and buy their porn from a newsagent like we used to back in the day. Walk in, pick up a copy of Escot, slap it on the counter, look the bloke right in the eye, then slap a fiver down and say 10 embassy No.1 one and a box of swan vestas too please mate before taking your change and walking out.

Seems crazy to restrict porn. Like drugs, all it does is push stuff underground. I would be ****** off.

conveniently there is youtube try on hauls

 

[GGizmo]

It's the start of a slippery slope with the government saying "its for the children".

What happened to personal responsibility?

The nanny state is trying to smother us.
