"A vpn solves the issue As does proving your age " Sending your personal details to a porn website.... There are many reasons why this is not a great idea. Personally, I think this could have been resolved through ISP's making the content opt-in as default. This has very little to do with child safety, in my opinion. We are already seeing people circumnavigate the checks which will allow the government to then start shutting down those alternatives until all internet activity can be identified. Like I say, there are better alternatives that impact the daily user significantly less. Mobile phone providers requires age verification before unblocking adult content on phones, ensuring the user isn't inputting details into a website to an unknown entity (where most offices are not even in the UK) | |||

Plus many are actually giving alternative ways to age verify. | |||

Completely irrelevant to the topic. Like I say, there are better alternatives which I have demonstrated. | |||

"Christ on a bike, it's to protect your kids, not to stop you knocking one out while your tea cooks 🙄" Agree 100% but a lot people have a phobia about providing info digitally for a variety of reasons (I’m not one BTW). There was talk of adding a .xxx suffix to all porn sites and then all parents/providers had to do was block sites with .xxx, thought it was a good idea at the time but maybe a little easier to get around than ID verification. | |||

"A vpn solves the issue As does proving your age " my point was children can download a free vpn and won't need the checks. It takes about five min to work around it. | |||

Suggest they stop thinking about conspiracy at every level of life 👍 | |||

"Around 6,000 porn sites start checking ages in UK, guess we going back to going to the corner shop and buying mags from the top shelf again "Hmmm, you mean you'll have to go to a shop that requires ID to prove you're over 18 to purchase...the irony | |||

"So you’re watch it on a smart tv, how does it work. " You'd have to use another option to verify. | |||

"I think this is the right move, even if it cuts down the majority accessing stuff they shouldn’t it’s a positive. My issue is how the age verification works, how is the data stored etc. I also don’t want to scan my face to prove age, what are they doing with the image they scan, is it held on a data base? Also, it is easy to get around with a free VPN" A face pic is taken, encrypted, then destroyed. Apparently. | |||

"On one hand its a good idea. But I'm so suspicious. Is it just another excuse to get id and info from us plebs? " I've given my id and info directly to a government department in order to get a passport and a driving licence. They really don't need a round about method, I willingly provided it along with a photo that's checked every time I leave or re enter the country. | |||

"Christ on a bike, it's to protect your kids, not to stop you knocking one out while your tea cooks 🙄" Everyone understands that, but how many future data breaches will there be where people are asked to pay or have their details exposed from a porn site? So a VPN Is safer for most. Mr F. | |||

More than likely the image is stored in a bucket on some cloud server and the flag in the database is set to verified. Then once there’s a data breach all those images are available online, along with the fingerprinting done to find out what type of porn people are watching. | |||

"Let’s get real it’s all about government wanting to know what you’re doing. How many off us watched porn before we were 18 and how did that harm us, I bet 99% of the population watched before they were 18. Kids will find a way around it " You have to admit that the some of the porn out there now (and the sheer volume of it) is proper grim and potentially very harmful to children. There wasn’t all this stuff so readily available when I was a teenager | |||

There wasn’t all this stuff so readily available when I was a teenager " Yeah when I was a kid, I had to find shops with private internet browsing to find porn. Or wait for one of my friends to download the videos, write them to a CD and then pass it around. But this level of difficulty means we get to see some new porn about once a month or so. That too pretty soft stuff. It's wild what's out there today. I agree that the amount and content of porn available is damaging to the kids and even many adults. It's just the method used here that I am concerned about. | |||
