Pron ID check

[Job]

Is this workable on any level?

Would YOU register your passport to get one?
Or would you visit your local shop to ask for one?

The government will announce wide-ranging porn blocks ‘soon’

 

[Deebs]

Not a fucking chance.

 

[Lamp]

I don't like it. No, Sir. Not one bit.

 

[Scouse]

Look. Will you think of the fucking children ffs!

Same shit as when they tried to ban stuff like the piratebay, they spend months/years and millions implementing it and people get around it in a matter of seconds via a proxy... fucking useless waste of money.

 

[Job]

They seem intent on spending more trying to make it slightly more difficult for kids to watch mainstream porn than stopping them stabbing each other.

 

[BloodOmen]

Porn being the scapegoat - it'll be video games next - bet violent movies and tv shows don't get mentioned though.

 

[Deebs]

It is just another distraction and something to waste time and money on to show they are "doing" something "useful". You cannot censor the internet much like you cannot ban strong encryption (ie math). Dumb fuckers.

The only way this could remotely even work is by putting in a Great Firewall of China solution and even that is not 100% workable.

To be fair though - the 90% of the population that struggle to access their emails on their iphones will struggle with this.

But there'll quickly be a market for get-round-pr0n-block devices.

You might be right but imagine some kid trying to look at a porn site and seeing they are blocked due to being in the UK and needing to provide age verification. First thing they type into a search engine: Bypass UK porn restriction

Or better yet push the youth onto the Dark Web where they will be exposed to abhorrent shit.

Good move Government.

I totally agree. It is a dumb move which will just force kids to become more sneaky about the things they do and it will become the norm as they grow up.

Well prohibition has been a rousing success everywhere it has been tried, so I look forward to porn being eliminated from the UK.....

Either that or Orbot/Orfox turning up on a lot of Google Play download lists. In fact I'm told Brave browser on Android should work as well, so I can still watch that video with the two ladies and the camel.

 

[Scouse]

two ladies and the camel.

POIDH

 

[Lakih]

I don't want to see the video but can we get a synopsis?

 

[Deebs]

What video?

 

[SilverHood]

It's actually all a secret way of ensuring that the UK has plenty of people versed in internet proxies. They will need them once Brexit becomes a reality.

Yea, problem is it works on the silly fuckers (masses), anyone with a clue about the internet would look at this and literally chuckle in real life while going "Naive cunts"

As Iain Malcolm said in Jurassic Park

Life finds a way - that can be applied to the internet 100x over

It will.just be a good excuse to go after vpn and proxies.

Saving the children.

 

[Job]

Yes.
Its that simple
UK's porn age-verification rules can be circumvented in minutes

 

[Wij]

I think I’ve still got the source code for a LUHN check digit validation somewhere.

 

[DaGaffer]

The fact that it can be circumvented really easily isn't really the point is it?

Who keeps voting these fuckers in?

 

[Billargh]

Who keeps voting these fuckers in?

Aren't a lot of the posters on this forum Tory voters..?

 

[Job]

As much as its sniffs of totalitairanism.
Im glad its so naff and easy to circumvent, it means they dont really care either.
Just appeasing focus groups.
Maybe they should put an age verification padlock on catholic churches

 

[Ormorof]

Its not a big step from "you have to tell the government if you watch porn online" to "you have to let us know everything you do online"

Right now they dont legally have access to the data (im sure illegally...). It will be sold as its for the greater good, protecting the children, blablabla
