pr0n laws

[Wij]

The UK will be introducing mandatory age-checks on all pr0n websites. Those sites that refuse to comply will be blocked by UK ISPs.

UK.gov admits porn age checks could harm small ISPs and encourage risky online behaviour

The age-verification (I.E. Login tied to real identity) will likely be managed by those trusty individuals at Mindgeek (I.E. Pr0nhub).

In your opinion which bit of this idea is the worst?

My starter for 10 is the database of pr0n-browsing habits of all the UK population being trusted to Mindgeek and never, ever getting hacked so that people in sensitive positions could be blackmailed by foreign powers...

 

[Raven]

Not fussed.

Just another reason for a proxy.

Sure you might do that. And if everyone did it would just be a tremendous waste of money and effort.

Alternatively, many people won't. And they will get blackmailed. Could be a national security issue. That should fuss everyone.

Did you know that mindgeek own shed loads of pron sites and could use this to allow access to theirs over others sites as well

Yep. This is the problem. Techie users will work around it but the vast majority of the UK...

Of course. UK.gov knows this very well indeed.

A clusterfuck waiting to happen. Can we employ some cyber specialists in the Government? Fucking dim witted cunts the lot of them. Who do they ask for advice on this shit? Themselves looking in a mirror?

Not for a second do I believe that they don't fully understand this exact issue.

BTW - did you know FH is blocked in Vietnam?

Too many spam accounts from all those countries.

At least you know we are all real accounts.

How are they going to force age checks on websites that aren't even hosted in the UK??

By getting ISPs to block them if they don’t comply.

Ah yes, DNS blackholing. That works well all the time. Wonder when the Great Firewall of Britain comes online. Fucking dimwitted twats.

I expect Edmond will have a thread on the best ways round it. It’s his job here.

Remember how effective the block on Pirate Bay was. It'll be about 5 seconds before someone introduces proxy websites for all the main porn sites, so this new law won't do shit.

Although it will put credit card data (and subsequently, porn browsing data) in the hands of companies who will do......what with it?

Get hacked.

 

[Moriath]

There are so many sites out there its impossible to block them all anyway.

 

[Tom]

They'll go after the major ones, of which I don't know any because I never look at that kind of stuff, and shortly thereafter Google searches for "magsfoundinbushes proxy" will become popular.

I remember fondly finding two Razzles, an Escort and a Club in a carrier bag in a bush. Had to flick a couple of slugs off em but it was still a magic offering from the bush.

Doesn't work. Must be flooded with all the traffic from us lot.

When I moved in with the wife (Then gf) 20 years ago, I offloaded some into a bush outside the village, I am hoping they went to a good home.

 

[Shagrat]

I'm struggling to understand how this will even work to be honest. How are they going to identify all the sites that this will cover, it's not like they are all using the .xxx domain. It's just going to end up in a massive clusterfuck and like @Wij says net outcome will be peoples sensitive data getting 'stolen' and used for various things.

"oh, your going to china on business, well can you just do this for us while you are there otherwise we might accidentally send your porn browsing habits to the Daily Mail."

 

[old.user4556]

I'll be dead in about 50 years so I don't care.

Techie users will work around it but the vast majority of the UK

Evolution at play?

 

[Job]

Of course our browsing habits are allready stored and available for hacking....if only there was some back door in every single computer chip.
I would recommend anyone caught viewing dodgy material, simply present the security warnings and say 'it wasnt me..I was haxd'.
There isnt a person on the planet who could say in court you werent.

I look forward to the next General Election, where the pr0n habits of your local MP candidates can be inspected in detail.

Knowing that my local MP enjoyed a grumble flick or two would probably make me more likely to vote for him.
