If it exists, there is porn about it.
And if there’s porn about it, you can probably find that porn on the internet.
Because the internet is dark and full of terrors.
That might be about to change in the UK, though. Even if you want your run-of-the-mill, two-people-pretending-to-go-at-it porn, you’re going to have a tough time getting your hands on it – unless you can prove that you’re old enough to enjoy it responsibly.
Here’s The Independent,
Frustration is continuing to grow with the UK’s new porn blocks, which would ban anyone from watching porn until they publicly proved themselves to be an adult.
The controversial new ban has been worked on for more than a year but is continuing to be delayed as the government attempts to decide how exactly it should be implemented. Now those arguing both for and against the ban have said they are irritated with the continuing mystery surrounded their introduction.
The confusion stems largely from the fact that no one seems to be able to settle on a date for implementation. There’s also some confusion around exactly how people will prove their age. Some of the options include an over-the-counter card that can be bought from a shop, or uploading ID documents online.
“I’d like eggs, milk and a porn card, please” – yep, that’s going to work.
The idea behind the new regulations is to prevent children from watching ‘adult content’, reports Metro.
‘This work is a world-leading step forward to protect our children from adult content, which is currently far too easy to access online,’ a spokesman said.
‘We are taking the time to get the implementation of this policy right and to ensure it is effective, and we will announce a commencement date shortly.’
The change will force people to complete checks including the uploading of identification documents in order to access adult sites.
A recent poll revealed that 76% of porn users were unaware of the incoming restrictions, so that’s going to be a nasty surprise.
A majority of users (67%) approve of the incoming measures, but only a third think that the block will be effective.
Kids as young as six have tablets now, so I suppose measures need to be put in place.
At the same time, never underestimate the ingenuity that goes into bypassing blocks on the web.
