The UK will block online porn from April

[Freighter]

Yes absolutely. Like voting, before accessing the huge potentials of the Internet, you need to be educated. You need to learn to process all the informations thrown at you.
There was another thread recently about age restrictions on the internet. I think that's a great idea. As you get 18, you get your card and your personal password. Till then, go out and learn how to think.

No thanks. We had enough restrictions on internet in SK, having to use a VPN just to access things that people in most countries can access without having having to resort to any special measures is a joke.

Will Google require age verification?

A 7 year old isn't going to go to a porn page, wtf.

Except stuff like that is already happening

[Noradin]

No. That would be in the first section. The following section is the "public" page. What everyone see.
I'm not into pain.

I certainly do not get those results so maybe they are "public", as in they pretend not to be manipulated to fit your history?

Enforcing an age restriction already in place is really judt about making money?

You can make a lot of money off of databases such as this one.
Especially about databases that connect people with stuff they'd rather keep private.
It'll be a goldmine.

If the UK wasnt a complete shitshow of a country I would see merit in this, but its really just a way for the government to exercise more control over the internet. Theres nothing good that can come of this, that much I can promise you, its just a thinly veiled plot with the guise of "Think of the children".

Bitter much?

I mean I don't have to give the government my name and address to look at porn, so apparently it's more free than the UK is.

Your government already has your name and address

[Noradin]

You consider age restriction for porn stepping stones to an orwellian society?..... ?
That's your own experience and to be honest I'm sorry for what you had to go through.

Not the age restriction, but the way they pretent to implement it.
It'll be ineffective as an age restriction for porn, but invaluable as a database of people's private habits.

Banning porn is like trying to ban homosexuality... You are attempting to outlaw human biology and it's never going to work. It never "evaded" mass public outrage, it's just that as society has progressed we realized it's retarded to try and control unharmful sexual desires.

And no, porn is not harmful, no puritanical assholes are going to convince me otherwise.

They're not banning porn

[Masark]

There's such a weird perception among people that this generation of teens are somehow worse than previous generations when in actuality teen pregnancy is at a all time low, youth crime is at a 30-year low and statistically it has never been a safer to be a human being on this planet.

Which is why that trend must be reversed at all costs. It's proving the core tenets of conservationism wrong, which absolutely cannot be permitted!

Could be. That's even worse. Pornhub decided to include torture and fake incest in a list of videos. None of that is part of my porn history. There's nothing out there your government can't get his hands on.

That information is already out there for them to use. What's preventing them to use it is legislation. That is a false point.

Wonder what the government will make of my habits. Anthro, 3D bestiality etc...See y'all after prison

So glad I live in a free country unlike backwards UK and Korea who pull this kind of crap. A VPN gets right by this anyway, what's the point?

I don't know which country you're in but if you're talking about here in the US I would say our time is coming soon. I mean they already got rid of net neutrality so the internet is in their hands now. It's only a matter of time. If they don't ban it they will charge you for it by packaging it in a bundle that'll cost you a monthly fee.

These days it seems like they're stripping more of our rights and freedoms away in return for a bigger paycheck.

Capitalism will do that.

You don't understand the real concept do you. That is the face the government is going to put it on it. But it's dealing with an economic act. It's like Net Neutrality here in the US. Pretending removing it is for the better good, but in reality it's being removed so internet companies can charge you for packs and make more money. 'Facebook package' and what not. This is the UK trying to get a little bit more control on the internet so they can charge and do as they see fit.

They now have the power to make porn companies pay and have leverage over them. While also having control over the people and can guide them on what they can and can't watch.

[Mistame]

I don't have a problem with age verification pages, etc. But forcing users to enter potentially at-risk personal information to verify is just stupid. Also, the amount of puritan wanna-bes on here is pretty astounding.

What the hell are you talking about. There is no comparison between net neutrality and making porn companies paying up which is absolutely needed since they're totally out of control.
Some stretching you're doing there.

I haven't seen any really. Not wanting your kids to go through videos of girls being gangbanged by 15 thugs isn't exactly puritanism.
