    Default Goodbye intrernet Porn

    There is always some toff to fuck it up for the rest of us.
    The new rules have been announced after digital minister Matt Hancock signed the commencement order for the Digital Economy Act.

    New laws are coming into force in April 2018 which will change the way people watch porn online in the UK.
    Among the new rules will be online ID checks - meaning people will have to prove they are over 18 in order to access pornographic websites.

    Another critic is Dr Joss Wright from the Oxford Internet Institute who said "There's privacy issues - you're requiring people to effectively announce the fact they are looking at this material to the credit card authorities. "And there's serious security issues from requiring people to enter their credit card details into untrusted sites.?

    This and net neutrality repeal could shape a very different internet, this one was quite clever in its approach as it's hard for any public response to gain momentum when it makes them look like perverts. The US had a different approach where they just ignored the mass public voice.

    Wouldn't a VPN just get round this?

    Exactly. Surely all you have to do is appear as if outside the UK and bosh.

    What we need to do is ask the MP's how they will get round this.

    I wonder how many sites will pop up just to obtain your card details. This is absolutely the most insecure method of ensuring you are 18. I foresee a lot of parents wondering why a 1p transaction and refund has appeared on their card statements.

    If they really want to keep us viewing, they could go the same route as TPB and knock up some proxies for us. Failing that, just use TOR.

    I use a vpn all the time now, except when running an online game. its also handy for getting region locked stuff like if I wanted to watch say EastEnders on the bbc iPlayer. I would select a UK server and away I go they think I'm in the UK and I could be anywhere.

    waste of time, this bill isn't worth the paper its written on

    And also in the devon news. New sweet shop opens up

    you can bypass credit card verificatoin using a decent credit card generator with anonymous name & address. you can check the details with a card checker. most bypass age verification traps.

    I dont see why this govt cannot leave us alone
    they just give rules that will never work
    so what is the point of there actions?

    most kids are accessing porn on school computers and they have porn blocking programmes on.
