£10 Porn Passes from newsagents to access ‘Adult’ sites

[Barry Shipton]

Latest update on the delayed plans by the Government to introduce age checks on adult sites - seems a £10 porno pass from your corner shop is the favoured option.

They should have introduced this in April but couldn't get a workable solution. Unclear how this will affect punting sites but as AW sells access to videos and pics you will probably need one as this only covers commercial sites. Presumably that means this and the UKEscorting forum aren't covered by the new law.

Obviously don't want under 18s accessing porn but it all sounds a bit Big Brother and knowing previous Government it cock ups raises a whole range of privacy issues.

Under 18s find ways of getting hold of alcohol. Under 18 boys will find a way around this as well.

So being all big brother Nanny state and trying to control adults watching porn is such a big issue for this government.

Good job too, its not like we have a sluggish economy, brexit nightmare with no one getting a grip of it, a new cold war with Russia that's turning hot, another potential major conflict in Middle East, a whole generation of young people unable to get on the housing ladder, a fifth column of terrorists in the country looking to chop people up and run them over with lorries.

No, restricting porn is the most important task for hmg.

+1 from me

I think they should worry more about under 18's getting there hands on guns and Knives than a copy of 'cum stained cheerleaders 6'

No, restricting porn is the most important task for hmg. No surely not, I thought the thing they were most worried about was the new anti upskirting law.

So a they honestly say, for a person like me, 53 years old, that if I want a pass, will have to show some sort of id, now the only id I have is my passport, and not going to use that

I also see problems with this, especially the pass, so you have to be 18 years or older, will it be against the law to buy this pass for anyone under 18, as far as I'm aware at the moment its not

I think porn passes are a bad idea, and it wont really address the problems, of making sure not one under 18 has access to porn

Excuse my ignorance, but how do these proposed changes in the law, effect this site?  Will I still be able to just login as usual?

At the moment it doesn’t - because neither UKP or UKE have commercial ‘paid for’ porn, but Adultwork which has paid galleries, videos and camming does come under this legislation because you have to buy credits for them.

But the Government has already announced it wants similar lass to the FOSTA and SESTA laws in the US which as noted on another thread has already led Craigslist to scrap personal ads and the FBI have seized and closed down Backpage.

It is causing chaos in the US sex industry because even social media like Twitter is panicking and clearing escorts off the site and driving them back underground and onto the streets. They've even had to set up an alternative sex workers only ‘Twitter’ called Switter.at based in Austria.

Thanks Barry

The new UK laws will be barely noticeable and almost everyone will still be able to access a lifetime's supply of wank fodder at the touch of a button. Maybe sometimes you might need to use a proxy or TOR.

Such laws are completely unworkable. Won't be a problem for adults to access AW either.

Newsagents will have a field day
They'll be asking to take copies of driving licence or passport
Ideally both
Some fucktards will provide this
And wonder why they've had identity fraud / ran up a load of finance & purchases about 3 days later 

It's like copying stuff at a newsagent
You might as well run off an extra copy to save them downloading from the copier drive

The Govt have a new way of raising money - a wanking tax
They are a bunch of wankers so surprised its taken them so long to cum up with this

Might have to get a VPN
When i've got 10 browser screens on pornhub / ixxx open at the same time this could slow things up

My friends 13 year old son can hack peoples mobiles who are in close proximity and charge apps to their phones, under 18’s are operating at a level government legislation can’t keep up with, this law is about surveillance and control

[fed24]

The porn pass won't make this legislation any less unworkable! The legislation will still require all porn to be verified by the BBFC or face being black listed by the ISP under their orders and the threat of a huge fine. The BBFC have been lobbying hard as they think it will be a fantastic revenue stream! Any porn that the BBFC verify will have to get past their absurd list of banned sexual acts like any of there perfectly legal to perform in your own home sex acts:

Spanking

Caning

Aggressive whipping

Penetration by any object "associated with violence"

Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of  if consensual)

Urolagnia (known as "water sports")

Role-playing as non-adults

inRead invented by Teads
Physical restraint

Humiliation

Female ejaculation

Strangulation

Facesitting

Fisting

Of course it will be unworkable as most international websites won't bother and there are plenty of mechanisms to get around not forgetting that the vast growth of the internet means impossible for the BBFC or ISPs to keep up! They will have to use bots to try and block it all which will lead to all sorts of false positives as educational and art websites get caught up in it!

The government machine has been trying to get IT to work in the NHS seemlessly for 25 years without success. The MOD and GCHQ are operating out of date copper wire distribution systems when domestic broadband is going fibre optic. The Government have no capability to build, run, manage or secure a simple network.

This^^^^

Just this morning l saw a teenage schoolboy (maybe 13 or 14) in school uniform walking towards me. He wasn't really looking where he was going as he was engrossed in his phone (held landscape). Even at a distance it was very obvious that he had a stonking stiffy in his grey trousers and, sure enough, when l glanced over as he passed he was watching porn on his phone.
