"So the news coming in is that the government will announce tomorrow that the planned age verification system for porn sites is to be put on hold, potentially forever. Sky News' tech correspondent is tweeting that the issue is that the government: "failed to notify the European Commission, undermining the legal basis of age verification" As a reminder, the plan was that: "all online commercial pornography services accessible from the UK are required to use age-verification controls to ensure that their content is not normally accessible to children. This means that adults will be required to demonstrate that they are 18 or over before accessing online pornography" So enjoy your porn surfing without the need to verify. " It's cool to have news in front of everyone else so you can look like you're ITK. . . . Sometimes. | |||

"I had a feeling something like this was going to happen. Considering it was meant to be rolling out next month, I haven't seen any infrastructure for it materialise. You would have thought newsagents would at least be advertising that they planned to be providing licences but they aren't. It's almost as if it's been a token gesture to appease parents who want the government to do their job of parenting for them." You don’t have kids, do you?  | |||

Not every parent is computer literate. Almost every teenager is. So whilst my question was tongue in cheek, it’s unfair to dig at parents.

" "Just to clarify I’m laughing at the government’s ineptitude. There are serious points being made in the thread and finding a way to safeguard vulnerable young people is a much bigger challenge than having an age verification system for porn. Particularly one that can be bypassed with a VPN so easily. | |||

I'm not going to breed, it's my civil duty to not breed. You chose to, so why should your computer illiteracy effect my life style?
Right. Ok. My computer illiteracy? Actually, it’s about having kids with free will. They’re curious humans, exactly as you are. You can educate all you like, but unless you’re an oppressive parent, they will try to test boundaries. The home May be safe but mates houses might not be.
Affect your lifestyle? What affect would that be? You might have to go to a post office with a passport to prove who you are because you want to watch free porn? That’s a small price to pay for a safer environment for kids.
You are of course right, they do have free will. But they are still your responsibility, nobody else's. That reason alone is why I couldn't give a toss that the internet isnt a "safe space" for children.
On a side note do you actually think teenagers are innocent? Were you at that age? I know I certainly wasn't as my hormones made sure I wasn't.
And yes it would, so every time I fancied a wank I'd have to go to a newsagent (I have neither a passport or a credit card) just to satisfy myself. All the while the government (or who ever the government put in charge of it) would be collecting my data.
Personally I care about kids more than you so touché.
I know kids aren’t innocent, but I don’t think it’s healthy kids watching hardcore porn. I don’t care if the average 15 year old sees a naked woman. I do care if he starts to think “smashing the back doors in” or “destroying a pussy” is a healthy and normal way to think. Ask many women here and they would say that porn influences the way men act towards them. Their inboxes bear testament.
God forbid anything should get in the way of a man tugging his penis like a chimp. Who cares about kids as long as you can wank?
Somehow you remind me of the Americans who couldn’t give a shit about school massacres just so as they can own a big gun.
Yup, the only kids I care about are my neice and nephew, the rest are just sexcrement to me. As a planet and a species we are fucked so I fail to understand why anybody wants to create new life.
I agree, it's not okay for teens to view that kind of stuff and think it's okay. But then again it's your responsibility to provide that context for them, nobody elses.
I think I've earned the right to my own autonomy, it's not like my onanism hurts anybody else so why shouldn't I try to fulfill a biological imperative that most of us have?
Yeah well, in that respect they are self limiting their population so good for them.
Your own autonomy is excellent, fingers crossed you can keep that moral stance up when you’re a bit older and need a doctor, policeman or anyone else from the younger generation to help you.
Even if you maintain 100% health record until you drop dead, it’s the younger generation who will be working to pay your pension, keeping companies running so the pension firms can get their money."Bring it on, I plan to be dead by the time I'm 40. Besides, isn't that the point of the personal pension plan that the government wants everybody to do because they don't know how long the state pension will last for? And who pays for that? Me! How does the pension firm make its money? By speculating with my contributions. It surprises me that you think the world will be in any sort of fit state by then, I seriously doubt it will be. | |||
