Pornography sites to implement age verification in Britain

Face scanning? How will that help? I'm 87 but I look 12.

Banned because porn leads to spousal abuse.

Secular neo-Puritanism. Thank god I'm not a horny kid anymore, so this won't affect me.

There’s no greater sign of the collapse than nations whining about birth rates in one breath, then implicitly banning porn in another. Nothing is logical or rational anymore because they are threats to orthodoxy. Just shut up, go to work and worship the god of the market, I guess.

Female ejaculation and fisting in porn are banned in the UK and always have been.

The beginning of the end.

In some cases, no doubt. But we have had years of research on the effects of porn on society and it's not always good, in fact it's mostly bad unfortunately.

I tend to agree r7 but I wonder about unforseen consequences, correlations. It's been a free-for-all for a generation now.

Not making any predictions.

This is a good thing. Just like how you should have to be 17 to have social media.

My state has made you verify since New Year. It’s not so inconvenient.

Kids shouldn’t be exposed to sex or pornography.

Give it a year and AI porn will be like a Build-A-Bear workshop but faster.

Are they going to ban AI?

This is the first strategy to eventually ban porn. It’s always “save the children.”

Children of course know exactly how to bypass all these verifications

Don’t kids have freedom of speech too?

Forever 21 may be gone, but I'm not.

That’s been debunked.

R9 is a moron.

The government should not be doing the job of parents. Your crotch fruit should not interfere with my life. This is 1984 shit.

The UK has long since become a surveillance state, and people readily submit because they loved their Nanny.

r13 Yes and also more advanced technical knowledge and familiarity with VPNs and proxies than most adults. I'm guessing this will trouble George, 54 who's wife doesn't put out anymore, and wants to watch some tame stuff from MindGeek. Than it will Timmy, 14 who wants to watch naked Russian girls get strangled.

The US is well on its way. I guess Texas just got the Supreme Court's blessing. I'd hoped the big sites would keep blocking American states completely, but it sounds like Pornhub is now ready to play ball in the UK, so they'll probably open up the US soon. Money always wins in the end. Nifty lovers should probably download their favorite stories before the site is labelled as obscenity.

I hate to think where I would be now if fisting and squirting and triple penetration porn had been available to me when I was 9.

Panem et circenses. Not a good idea.

Porn is unbannable. It’s cute that all these lawmakers think they have that kind of power.

Once again, it's largely idiotic women pushing this.

R23 But this doesn’t ban porn Are you somewhat confused?

Liquor was once sold to all adults and then actually banned. Having a 21 yrs of age requirement to purchase liquor doesn’t mean it’s ban. Does that make sense.

I’ve been saying this should be a thing for years. How do you have so much hardcore porn (a lot of it violent) without age verification? We have 8 year olds watching anal porn and some of you defend it. It’s actually sick.

R26 It truly is but because the right is more gunho about this, those who are “liberals” must oppose it. Thats what them stupid ass Magas do. Oppose anything perceived liberal.

Identity politics suck. Think outside the box. Be your own human being.

R26, isn't that the job of the fucking parents to know what their precious little brat is doing/watching?

The UK is worse than the U.S.

R28 Isn’t it the job of parent to make sure their little12 yr old doesn’t buy a bottle of Henny.

See what I did there.

No, r30. No one is selling shit. This is censorship by government. They’re locking people out. They want ID or a facial scan. Are you fucking insane? The Soviets would have loved you.

Alcohol is not the same as porn. Good grief. No one dies from looking at porn.

Parents are responsible for what goes on in their homes.

Eventually in the US, Google will probably have to stop indexing explicit results from Datalounge and any other partially mature sites out there, like Reddit.

Project 2025 states that gay and transgender content equals pornography.

R21 good for you for waiting until your 10th birthday.

[quote]Having a 21 yrs of age requirement to purchase liquor doesn’t mean it’s ban. Does that make sense.

What doesn't make sense is that the U.S. makes people wait until they are 21 before buying alcohol -- every other country in the Western world allows it at 18 or 19 years old.
