Looks like the government thinks that they are capable of making everyone who watches pornography be verified to be over 18 years old.

Is this really going to work? I thought that the attempt for ISP providers to have Users opt in for adult websites comepletely failed. It feels like a thinly veiled attempt to just tax these websites.
What are your thoughts?

Kids are learning to code at what 8-9 years old. They will figure out proxies and vpns in about 2 minutes.
Solves nothing except restricting freedom and increasing monitoring and surveillance.
You can't stop porn unless you stop the pornographers.
>>74357540
da joos right? ects dee de dee dee
>>74356196
dont they have CCTV inside your home to ID you?
>>74357540
>stop the pornographers.
people are making amateur porn
>>74357683
Take out the people.
>>74357540
>Stop the pornographers
That would be antisemetic
>>74357540
Wrong. You can ban the Internet from all home use.
Good. Porn ruined my adolescence
>>74357540
Nobody watches professional porn
Also if you truly care about porn being the societal I'll it is you should boycott 4chan and oppose anonymity since that's the main source of the problem.
If everyone had to use their real face online there would be too much shame for most people to consume porn.
>>74356196
Looks like there'll be a surge in VPN licensing numbers soon, perhaps even surpassing BBC's head count
Slippery slope
They always go after the porn sites first. It's just the initial step in turning United Kingdom into United Caliphate
>>74356196
>"Users who want to view it have to specifically notify their ISPs as such in order to be given access."
implying they can list all porn sites in the world an keep track of all of them. also porn can be downloaded ilegally in torrent sites, irc channels, 4chan and alikes. are they going to block all those sites? will brittain be like north korea level of internet security now ?
If you defend anonymity you are NOT a real right winger. 4chan is subversive and leftist and always was
>>74357955
So what?
The Internet is degenerate. The sooner it becomes hare to use, looked down and boring the better. People need to face reality again.
>>74357915
>there are people who believe that
>>74358041
Face it you probably got into porn as a kid via sites like this and other forums.
>>74357540
I was with you until the last part. You can't stop porn. Period. Arousal and jacking off is part of human nature. So long as there is a market someone will always supply the product. If it's not pornography it'll just be prostitution.
>>74356196
I've always used proxies for porn anyway.
>>74358004
you realize they can maintain some degree of entertainment while removing anonymity and freedom?
>>74358134
If they just punished all 4channers and porn users with physical whipping it would end. Quite quickly
>>74358218
Yeah but at least you won't have people posting traps and pedophile apologists like they do on anon sites.
How about we just restrict the internet to people over 18 period.
>>74358289
I'd just ban it from home use for everyone period. Public service only. Shut down ISPs for consumers.
Since when are kids honest about their age on the internet? Ever since there have been age verifications, those sites are visited by people born in 1908
>>74358427
It's verified by credit card now
>could develop a warped view of adult relationships
oh yeah, gay acceptance, pushing tranny shit down everyone's throats and making interracial sex ed books is fine but videos of people having sex is just too much.
>cameron and his crew think they can police the internet
Anyone with an IQ over 80 knows that this will be impossible to enforce, all you need to do is fire up TOR or a proxy and you can get past that. The only thing this will do is stop little Jimmy from accessing PornHub on his Windows 10 laptop with parental controls.
>>74359251
Policing the net is a fools game.
Banning the net entirely outside of public places and schools would be a great thing for society.
>>74356196
>thinly veiled attempt to just tax these websites.
bingo
porn makes up a HUGE amount of traffic on the network, by restricting or otherwise imposing restrictions you can charge bandwidth allowances basically.
they are taking an open and public resource, the internet, and making it private.
just like water, oil and electricity in the 3rd shithole
They'll start with porn and then move on to everything that's against the government's will.
>>74359251
>>74359318
Also websites like 4chan and such are safe for the time being considering the government are only focusing on targeting the big websites.
>>74359444
Trips of truth, newspapers are reporting that this shit will backfire badly.

>>74357971
why don't you give us your personal details then yes pls thank you credit card now.
>>74358074
no, I went to porn sites
>>74359318
But that's fucking retarded
Feels like it will fall on its face anyways. How the fuck does the government seriously expect to impose laws/fines on international websites, A majority of which most likeley aren't based in the UK at all anyways.
