It hasn't gone all the way through parliament yet. It's called the "Digital Economy Bill 2016-17" - this is the official page:just spoke to my boss - we do internet ISP stuff he tells me this has all gone through??
I've just checked with the future and the rules are...NON CONVENTIONAL. < this is really quite worrying really. who is going to be defining conventional sex acts?
a lot of porn sites are criminally run - does anyone think any of these sites will be able to introduce credit card / passport scan identification of people without massive hacking, fraud and blackmail?
who would trust these sites to be secure
It looks like it is about to happen.
Age checks to be introduced on porn websites in UK
Two things come to mind:
1. How many hours after a site introduces it do we think someone will leak all the names of the credit card holders?
2. How many seconds after it is implemented do you think many more people in this country will learn about proxies?
Users may be asked to provide credit card details, as gambling websites do.

free porn will be everywhere still, dont worry.
if it's anything like the tobacco directive, you;'ll just have to cick one button that says 'yes i am over 18' or put in some random date of birth what aint yours.
They are talking about using a credit card to verify it. Which I'm sure everyone will delighted to hand over.

Anything where you're supposed to give your credit card details directly to porn websites is so obviously going to end in disaster that even David Davis would be able to spot the risks.

My question, is what counts as a porn site? What about the naked thread on here for instance?
lol so it's about demonetisation of the industry
good job we are just an insignificant island then which porn sites are more likely just to fuck off cus the rest of the world dont give a fuck.
They already did that when the BBFC (or was it ofcom?), who look likely to be placed in charge of this whole farce, decided that good old-fashioned pleasures such as face-sitting and gushing were to be banned.
you have to wonder just how well some people get the internets. There was a twitter parody account of an obnoxious 'big boss' at this company and he actually went and asked the IT dept if they could turn twitter off.lol so it's about demonetisation of the industry
