UK gov to ban porn sites that don't verify users' age

Do these sort of free VPN things actually work?

* asking on behalf of a friend.

Yes. I mean I wouldn't trust them with serious privacy stuff as all your Internet traffic goes through them, but if you just want to access blocked stuff.

I use on the desktop to get at some torrent sites. I suspect for streaming high def porn you may want a paid one for the extra bandwidth.

Me? :hmm:

I think you mean 'my friend'. ;)
 
Reading the BBC story seems to suggest they aren't going to stipulate how the age check is performed. So I predict we will get those 'confirm your age' pop ups that you get on some movie trailer sites or on vape sites. They don't actually verify anything at all. You can enter what you want. Also says that they will be able to block sites but won't be imposing the £250k fines that were first touted about. Because once you block sites, there's no way round that. :D:rolleyes::thumbs:

I think there will be a service run by the big porn co. that will store everyone's ID data on it. This poses absolutely no security risk whatsoever.
 
So... I guess I'll never know whether banks would accept a wanking licence as suitable ID for over-the-counter withdrawls.
Deposits only. To withdraw, you need a real life partner, although most banks place objects on the counter so as to make it tricky for you to do it there.
 
It's not going according to plan...

Online porn age checks 'face further delay'

The changes - which mean UK internet users may have to prove their age - were due to start on 15 July after already being delayed from April 2018.

While the government has not officially confirmed the postponement, it is expected to announce on Thursday that the date will be pushed back again.

The reason for the delay is not clear.

Its probably already been mentioned on this thread but the logistics of trying to stop kids seeing porn when they are the most tech savvy lot out there. No chance.
 
I wish someone would hook up all these tech-savvy kids with those organisations that are complaining about skills shortages.

Putting the kids to work?

I'd bet you'd employ a child chimney sweep given the chance.
