Steve Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 In April of this year, X-rated websites will automatically be blocked by all internet providers, with users having to verify their age before they can proceed. Users will be automatically blocked from using free sites like PornHub and YouPorn from 1 April 2019, unless they can prove their age. This automatic block, introduced under the Digital Economy Act 2017, is being put in place in an attempt to prevent children from seeing inappropriate content. The Act states that commercial providers of pornographic content should have age verification checks on their websites, in order to prevent children from viewing explicit images and videos. The terms of the Digital Economy Act 2017 state that online commercial pornography services which can be accessed from the UK must use an age verification system. Mindgeek, the company that owns Pornhub and YouPorn, has developed a system called AgeID. From the beginning of April, users will be redirected to a non-pornographic page, where they will then be asked to enter their email address and password. Users will then have to verify their age using a driver's license, passport or credit card. https://inews.co.uk/news/technology/porn-block-free-website-ban-when-date-how-ageid/ I was hoping they'd come to their senses over this shit, but I guess not. That's on top of all the news websites that block EU users, and even file hosting sites that I used to use like ZippyShare, which now gives a 430 Forbidden error if you try and visit it from the UK. What a fucking shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danswift Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Well, back to back alley peep shows it is! It's retro, it's hip, it's wankalicious! @Dan: As always, pics or it didn't happen.Asking for myself.I knew this chick around the early 90s who was really into 70s retro porno back in the VCR days..she had a load of tapes that she liked to watch although I wasn't particularly into it myself tbh ..far too much hair down below and ridiculous plot lines for my liking, plus 70s porn is always so grubby and seedy looking but anyway, this girl loved it ..she'd watch hours of the stuff but blokes who look like fucking Burt Reynolds and Tom Selleck with huge moustaches and dicks you can barely see plunging into massive hairy beavers is not my thing at all really no matter how good looking the women may be I'm afraid.

Steve Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 What's your concern over this Steve? Sounds like a positive thing to me?? There's a bunch of concerns. It won't work. Not at all. Unless more than a third of your site content is porn, you won't have to comply with these rules, so it won't affect Reddit, for example - a place where any kid can go to see tons of porn if they want to. It just creates a false sense of security for parents who aren't tech savvy. You can get around the block by using a VPN. There are numerous free VPN extensions for popular web browsers like Chrome and Firefox. I use one called Hoxx VPN so I can access sites that have been blocked for piracy reasons, or because they don't comply with the GDPR and have therefore blocked all European users. That allows me to appear as if I'm in the USA with 2 clicks of the mouse. What's next? Banning VPNs? Also, there's millions of porn sites out there and only the UK is doing this. How many of them will just not bother to comply with these rules? Out of those, I guarantee you that the government won't even come close to blocking all of them. We'll likely see issues with over-blocking as well, where non-porn sites end up getting caught up in the block. Do you trust these sites with your credit card information? Do you trust them to store your data securely? Who wants their porn browsing habits stored alongside their real name and address in a database that will be a prime target for hackers? Who wants their credit card company knowing that they visit porn sites, and which ones? It'll likely lead to further censorship of the web, "for the good of the people", or "to protect the children", or some other utter bullshit excuse. We've already got idiots like Diane Abbott saying that porn and video games are responsible for the recent rise in knife crime. The NSPCC report that the government is using as a justification to do this is bullshit. For example, it claimed that 1 in 10 kids aged 12-13 is addicted to porn, except the methodology used to come to that conclusion was completely flawed. It's not what the public want, nor in line with what experts think is a good idea. It's not evidence-based policy making. It's a moral crusade that creates a bunch of issues in itself, and could lead us down a path of further censorship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wax On Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Fair, appreciate the clarity on that. I only ask because my nephew is 12 and was apparently hammering pr0nhub and I'm quite aware of the sort of aggressive and weird shit he's being exposed to compared to the page three tits and Electric Blue bush that we got at that age.

Flexinoodle Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 You are kidding right ?I'm 46 now and when i was 12 i was watching just as hardcore shit as i watch now, I mean i'm not watching shit in your mouth and stuff, but is pornhub that bad ?

Steve Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 People should be wary of ANY form of government-sanctioned censorship, but there's so many soft cunts out there these days that want to protect feelings and what not. I'd move to America if I could, even though I hate the dopey orange cunt that is currently in charge. The UK is a fucking joke when it comes to this stuff.
