As uk law, am I right in assuming this only applies to UK based porn ISPs?
always gets far until someone in the government realises that they, too, will have to enter their credit card info to get their porn and they all quietly shit themselves
VPN providers wish to thank the British government for helping them in these trying economic times.
These things never work. In South Korea they blocked smut completely for over a decade. Result? Porn was exchanged through chatrooms which, predictably, veered pretty quickly away from the standard wank fodder to terabytes of spycam, sexual assault and child abuse vids.
The government should focus on sex education that understands kids will access porn and helps them understand what they might see. But of course that would send the Daily Mail readers into a fit and spurn editorials about wokes perverting our kids.

Gee can’t wait to scan photographic ID to compare to my webcam face scan, where it will log my time, activity, and private information so I can access a website like Reddit because it allows tits.
Also can’t wait for this information to be stored on a government system which will be provided by a Tory’s business investment which won’t be fit for purpose and will almost immediately be hacked and leak everyone’s information to the dark web so we can all be blackmailed, threatened, and cancelled because people will lose their jobs and lives over a wank.
Why oh why are these people so dumb? I really don’t get it.
>nearly eight in 10 children have seen “violent pornography depicting coercive, degrading or pain-inducing sex acts” before turning 18
Little kids I understand, but “before turning 18”? So teenagers? Who cares? Every millennial teenage boy watched porn, and that generation is far more emotionally stable and kinder to their partners than the boomer and gen x politicians who are getting into hysterics about this stuff.
And it’s easy to keep little kids away from accidentally seeing porn: have a child-locked version of iOS and Android on any decide they own, which prevents them from using social media apps or browsers, where they could come across this stuff. But that would require asking a very minor favour of some big corporations (and won’t let them expand their vast surveillance state), so they won’t do that.
Its obviously a nice idea in theory, porn is incredibly damaging to people, especially those too young to have experienced actual sex, and can lead to unrealistic expectations and much worse. I honestly feel sorry for girls growing up with boys raised on the kind of porn that’s now everywhere.
But its just not feasible, its not remotely possible, in any way. Anyone with any understanding of the Internet knows this and would shut down the idea instantly but I guess this is more about political theatre, or worse, using it as an excuse to push through things they want that are unrelated and more nefarious
I already had to tell O2 I was over 18 and pay a pound on a credit card, then I think that was it.
