£5 for a wank pass from April

[the]

It's all happening on July 15th now according to the Guardian.

Was there any reason given for the delay? Thought it might be tactical, to avoid The Brexit Wank Riots.

Still, gives them time to scrape more data on who's signing up for VPNs.

If young people can't have wank marathons they might do something like gluing themselves to suburban trains to protest climate change denial.

Apparently if the site doesn't make money via adverts you can still visit them, which is great news for any Emporium users like myself.

[Sebastian Cobb]

It doesn't exactly seem very impartial to get Mindgeek in to do the verification given they own about 10 of the most popular grot streaming sites. Not very fair on the smaller more independent smut peddlers.

[thenoise]

I wonder how much the government is paying them?

[Chollis]

How many wanks shall we try and get in before 15th July when all wanking must end

[earl_sleek]

8.5

Well, sorted then.

hmmm, good news

They still have the 1/3rd rule so there is massive profit to be made making sites with a third insertion, a third kittens and a third cooking tips.

You joke, but there are - allegedly, apparently - various free sites aimed primarily at women that feature adult videos in a specific section, but also lots of articles and editorial bits which are more about interpersonal/health/social kind of topics (mainly Refinery29-type stuff - as in, some of it is sexual in content, but it's intended to inform and entertain rather than titillate), and also erotic fiction, which obviously is intended to get people off, but I wouldn't have thought that would be deemed as unsuitable for a child to stumble across as visual muck.

I wonder how those sites would be handled as they're not exactly coy about the porn content but there's clearly other stuff on there as well. I mean, so I've heard.

Link or STFU.

This is brexit all over again.

But will it be a hard one or a soft one?  And any extension be long or short?

[Twed]

Every time this thread has me thinking about April McKenzie. Getting a wank pass is exactly the kind of video she'd have made.

[Jittlebags]

What do they base 1/3 on? Number of pornographic bytes, smut by screen area or wot? 1/3 of screen with hardcore, with remainder being white noise might work. Good luck BBFC.

[Jittlebags]

Dinosaur porn stories will be fine though, as it's always 67%+ dinosaur rather than porn.

[Dr Sanchez]

This jizz permit is only needed for 3-4 sites, right? There's millions of free porn sites out there, fellas. Pornhub has gone well shit anyway. All the good videos are premium and I'll be damned if I'm dusting off the debit card for a few minutes of web wankery.

Yeah. I'd be amazed is we don't get a pornhub.co.uk that is 67% copyright-free library footage and 33% grot. All this will backfire on gov when next generation of wankers can't distinguish between the two and end up so turned on by documentary clips of the introduction of the Class 16 North British Type 1 Diesel Engines that The National Railway Museum becomes one big sex dungeon; which it pretty much is already, right commuters?

[fatguyranting]

"They still have the 1/3rd rule"

Wow, is this still a thing? Like the old days of sordid sex shops when the rozzers couldn't raid because a stack of remainder romance novels justified the two or three Color Climax VHS tapes under the counter. We really haven't moved on as a nation at all have we?

Ooh, intriguing, I'll take a look.
Edit: oh...

Or 2/3 gun videos, alt-right commentary that has been banned from YouTube and 1/3 hardcore anal gapes. Keeping the internet wholesome, THANKS TERESA MAY!

[Zetetic]

Does commentary on pornography count towards the 2/3rds?

"It was an error and we're evaluating at the moment whether that was a breach of data protection law."

I'm pretty sure it is.

"DCMS takes data privacy extremely seriously"

As seriously as it takes exaggeration, by the looks of things.

Has it been mentioned that free browser Opera has a free VPN built in? Have they factored that in?

There's certainly going to be a symphony of wanking using that browser in a few months.

[Dropshadow]

I've just had a read-through of all 1,402 pages of the parliamentary act which will nudge this legislation into effect and I've discovered there's a loophole whereby if you can live-stream video of yourself looking at those The Porn websites and prove, beyond any reasonable doubt, that you're not having one off the wrist you don't have to abide by the new rules. You can watch all the filth you want after that and they can't touch you. So, good news there, then.

Wank diddly wank wank

WANK WANK

[good times]

Feels a bit like when they stopped selling packs of 10 cigs this

It will initially put off casual users but eventually backfire and turn them into full on super wankers.

[Sherringford Hovis]

full on super wankers.

If everyone is a super-wanker, then no-one is.

Only at the precipice do we evolve.
