Doh:

Although the porn regulations had been delayed as the government sought to work out some kinks, it is now expected to implement age verification checks for anyone wishing to access porn in the UK from around April.

Ohh:

Websites which are more than one-third pornographic will be obliged to verify the age of UK visitors under a law which has now been passed.

What a strange loophole. I envisage a vast new market for websites that mix videos of japanese ladies being showered in cum and very long, multipage articles about loft conversions.

do i just click yes i'm a full grown bloke or do i have to post them my passport. don't care either way, might be nice for it to be illegal for me to view any pornography. straighten my mind out a bit and make my dreams less alarming. maybe it's illegal all month aside from like a couple of days, or if you're really really hungover. that is a system i could get behind.

Biggest laugh of the day.

I reckon they'll work it out via how much of the surface area of any given page is rude.

1/3 pornographic

Michael Portillo, Samantha Fox, Anne Widdecombe

Blow job, ironing, tax return filling

If it means 1/3rd of the page rather than the whole website they could lose a few thumbnails, add some very large pictures of garden furniture and the surface area of filth would easily be less than 1/3rd.

I wonder how many videos they had to watch to work them out.

[Bobtoo]

Was there a similar rule for scud mags back in the hedge-find days? They always seemed to have some off-topic articles in them, which I assumed were to pretend that they weren't just wank mags, but it might have some sort of non-filth quota.

Borderline, feels like I'm going to lose my mind

[thenoise]

Cam sites should be safe, as they are 85% girls sitting there looking bored.

[Sherringford Hovis]

There's not a single story on the Daily Mail sidebar that people don't wank to - are they going to have age verification?

[Small Man Big Horse]

There's a sod load of porn on Twitter and Reddit and I can't imagine they'll do the age verification thing there, so I'm sure CaB's perverts will be fine. However if anyone's struggling I will be selling copies of my collection for the low, low price of £29.99 per 2 minute video.

One man's porn is another man' government white paper on shipping tariffs

So they're wanking themselves blind over pregnant paraplegic porn before the restrictions come into place?

My penis is 1/3 pornographic.

My mum used to teach an IT course at a community college, and the students ran rings around her.  Unless they employ fifteen year old Judases to betray their own kind, there's no way a wanking teenager will be bested by an old Church of Englander who still types using one finger at a time.

Barry, I'm 53

[BlodwynPig]

You know in job applications it asks if you are a terrorist, will this verification have a box asking to tick if paedophile

[mothman]

^US visa application website pretty-much asks these questions already.

A 15 year old boy could find some pornography even if he was locked inside an entirely empty and featureless white room.

So no-one without a credit card will be able to sign up to porn sites now. Therefore getting more people to take out credit cards so they can access porn. And increasing debt.

Apart from the C and E, didn't you type that phrase one finger at a time?

Aaaaaah.

I'm in "Old Crippled Man Wanking Volumes 1 - 43" but none of the rest unfortunately.

Nobody with a credit card or the gumption to use one of many free vpn's. Opera has one built in and zenmate is a free extension on both Firefox and chrome.

The next step will either be 'let's use this identification system elsewhere (like on twitter because abuse)' or 'it's trivial for a teenager to find porn via a vpn so we're coming after them now'.

It's a slippery slope isn't it. And that's not a porn reference.

To completion?

All my posts are made using voice wreck a Nissan soft, where?

[Sin Agog]

It would make me laugh if the government spent millions coming up with what they're sure is an air-tight system, only for someone to work out within 30 seconds that you can wank freely in incognito.
