The UK will block online porn from April. Here's what we know
Online pornography in the UK is set to undergo its biggest ever change this year. The government will introduce an age-verification requirement for all pornographic websites and people wanting to use them will have to prove they are over 18.
The plans were initially announced in July 2017 with Matt Hancock, the then minister of state for digital and culture, saying the pornography block would be fully in place" by April 2018. Since then the government has been attempting to formalise the process of how websites should apply an age-verification system and establish a regulator for doing so.
During the course of changes, critics have hit back saying the changes will be dangerous to internet freedoms in the UK. Jerry Barnett, the founder of campaign group Sex & Censorship, told WIRED in 2017 that the legislation would “fundamentally change the internet in the UK and possibly globally”.
worst korea has enforced social security id login for internet services, it isn't too far fetched to think the UK could take a similar route.

Fucking christ
Brody Parker
Thanks, common sense laws!
Grayson Cooper
Ah, the government tracks my pornography.
Caleb Jones
Most mobile service providers do the credit card thing already, yeah.
Jonathan Allen
good
Carson Russell
Porn is degenerate, it keeps people away from achieving class consciousness
Charles Thompson
I mean people will just use VPNs; most do already because there is a record of what p0rn you watch.
Cooper King
Why is society so full of cucks? It seems like everyone loves Daddy G telling them what to do, disgusting. I can't believe people.
Elijah Adams
Holla Forums is probably flipping out over this, lol.
David Walker
I guess capitalism is ok after all.
Kevin Harris
RIP bongland.
Blake Long
Hell yes
Carson Rogers
I think the SNP win the best name award this time though
Ryan Wood
Gladimhere and Cwoarbyn are strong contenders though
Ayden Bailey
Can we start up a sex workers union and claim that this legislation harms sex workers?
Aiden Rodriguez
sites like twitter, tumblr, reddit, 8ch have a ton of porn on them, but they're not porn sites. How exactly would they ban kids from going on those sites?
Jacob Phillips
Selective enforcement. You didn't think the ban was going to be fair, did you?
James Martinez
Watch as Holla Forumsyps find a way to blame the esjaydubyas for this2
Joseph Gray
At this point they're just passing laws so they can just pull an Al Capone on people aren't they?
Ayden Powell

Ryder Williams
Whats so bad about watching two people fucking?
Noah Miller
bourgeois pseudoscience
Hudson Price
We must critically support x-rated British data packets against moralist imperialism. just kidding, porn is a public health crisis
Oliver Campbell
You for real?
Michael Diaz
kind of normalization of internet censorship is obviously not good tactically, but something needs to be done about porn
Nolan Price
Just the professional stuff right?
Jose Thompson
nah, it’s all bad for you
Jaxon Young
I can't survive out in the real world my dudes, I can't deal with real women. I need porn man, else I'm gonna die niqqah.
Ryan Morgan
Porn is likely a contributor to your current predicament. Don’t view it as a remedy.
Matthew Carter
Ur not a nofap transfer from halfchan are you?.
Jonathan Hernandez
Yes but I've immersed myself in it for so long that it's become the very thing that sustains me. Like heroin, I simply cannot go cold turkey lest I suffer severe mental breakdowns.
It's been the best way to control my rampant jealousy too.
Isaiah Young
Fuck off Holla Forums.
Anthony Lewis
Closest thing I could find to the OP pic. Anyone got the real thing?
Christian Cox
I wish my dude
Juan Edwards
Holy fuck that old halfchan meme about bongland is coming true. Someone post if they can I'm on my phone
Leo Allen
They also have internet access curfews
Owen Ward
Okay this is bullshit.
Jayden Gonzalez
It's just the same moral guardian bullshit as muh subversive literature, muh violent video games, muh satanic dungeons and dragons. The anti-porn position just convinces more people because it involves women interacting with penises, which as everyone knows is the worst thing possible.
Daniel Scott
no porn = sturmabteilung in the streets prepare yourselves fellow bongs

A return to the old times, neat.
Zachary Sullivan
holy shit that movie porn poster is the definition of cringe
Bentley Rivera
Joke's on you, I only browse ExHentai.
Ethan Johnson

TOPKEK pathetic
Angel Powell
What's the problem? Pornography has existed for centuries. The only problem about it is the treatment that women receive in the porn industry and the porn addiction that some people have.
What do you want to? Ban amateur porn too? Drawings? Paintings? Books depicting people fucking?
Nicholas Roberts
I'm okay with this Everybody knows that filters are ineffective against dedicated individuals, so it doesn't amount to an egregious assault on free speech but at the same time it would discourage a lot of people from just casually watching porn out of habit. It's not healthy and you shouldn't do it. Maybe British people won't be so notoriously bad at sex now.
John Cooper
I'm not her/him, but I'm opposed to pornography involving real people. Even amateur material is a problem, because it's often not uploaded with the consent of both parties.
Juan Hill
Literally the only "porn" I look at is hentai doujinshi. I hate 3DPD shit & I can't even get off to it either.
Nathan Gomez
I'm working through my feelings about porn. I'm addicted, but I know I could stop without any feeling of loss if I just had some friends. I think our society of isolation creates these feelings. Porn (& all sex labor) is exploitative. Discouraging sex work is important to a healthy society.
Anti-porn advocates would point to porn as a cause instead of a symptom, but studies show that the better your social life is, the less likely you are to act out violent sexual fantasies.
I don't think we'll ever get rid of it, because it's a product of video technology and nobody is going to force cameras out of existence. I think we should regulate pornographers & crack down on exploitative individuals and practices, while working towards a less isolated society.
It's unlikely that regulating consumers will do much, but we should teach young people that porn can be addictive and give them the tools to avoid self-destructive behavior.
Camden Sanchez
GOOD
Juan Anderson
Gladimhere Putitin
Jonathan Nelson
I don't think it'll be any worse than that
Thomas Hughes
fuck sex workers
Samuel Cruz
Well yea thats their job.
Christian Edwards
Why do you want to fuck me?
Andrew Morris
WEW LAD! Otherwise nice T&A.
Ryder Johnson
Good. Obviously bad because they are doing it for the wrong reasons, but besides that nothing wrong
We shouldn't fight for sex workers rights, we should fight to abolish the reasons for a sex worker to exist. And honestly sex workers who say stuff like "it isn't that bad" should be shot on the fucking spot. They don't deserve shit and are shit people
Daniel Carter
Ebin.
Ryan Turner
Who hurt you as a child?
Jose Torres
Reminder that being for banning of porn and hostility to sex workers is reactionary politics.
Ayden Edwards
Me personally? No one. Sex slaves? A lot of them. Saying that sex work isn't that bad trivialize the experiences of these people.
Jaxon Baker
I'm not saying that sex work isn't bad, but killing unrepentant sex workers is crazy.
Samuel Peterson
Yeah, that's going to go well.
Connor Butler
I can agree with this.
Samuel Allen
What a nice excuse. If you are against porn, you are against liberty and should be treated accordingly.
Sebastian Butler
Good. Pornography is disgustingly bourgeoisie and exploitative.
Alexander Morales
Not pornography, the porn industry.
Ryder Garcia
True.
Dominic Bell
Both are horrible.
Kevin Perez
How many porn sites are actually hosted in the UK to begin with? My guess is close to none. Just more idiots not understanding how the internet works.
Camden Turner
I'm fucking dead
Samuel Bailey
I had a debit card when i was 15 which would let me straight through the system. It doesn't work, but these companies always like card info.
Charles Perez
/thread On this I would say that, for the most part, I think porn is a symptom of the main problem of individuals being alienated from each other and not being able to engage in long lasting relationships as relationships become increasingly commodified and, being treated as a commodity, are weighed against other commodities and indulgances which could more easily be engaged with/in.
Ian Mitchell
Litterally nothing wrong with porn. Its a masturbratory aid and gets people off. Its completely normal to want to watch people have sex .
Liam Ramirez
Indeed, but the porn industry is very exploitative. Porn addiction is bad too.
Jayden Murphy
100% agree on the alienation part. I do also think that there is a strong indoctrination by consumerist culture when it comes in partaking in this stuff. If sex is a product and a meaningless commodity I can give it away for money, if sex is an emotive consequence of two people attracted to each other then it's not something sellable and non replicabile
Elijah Cox
This seems like one of those threads whereas when you e-pirate from terrible vidya gaem companies that should be shut down like Nintendo, that's considered "not supporting the industry", but when you e-pirate pr0n, of which no one stands a chance in hell of banning e-piracy on any scale anyone can give a shit about, that's supporting the industry and also it should be b& cuz that's gonna do something, totally.
Brandon Wright
You know that people in loving, committed, long term relationships go for porn too, right?
Cameron King
If you think we support any corporation ever you are on the wrong board. Especially if it's porn.
Owen Reyes
You know that people in lovley relationships go for cuckolding too right? How do you explain this?
Jose Price
What There's nothing to explain with that. That's just a statement that people like things.
Luke Ross
There's nothing sacred about sex and it's cool to see other people fucking.
Angel Perez
Think if your parents were to do it.
Read lenin on sexual liberation you borg scum
Adrian Walker
Nah, I'm just used to the idea that when I decide to be ultra anti-corporate and help support the framework of preserving ROM hacks & shit through GoodSet or Redump or something, I'll get shit for bothering to preserve Little Remo: The Child Abuser & RapeLay.
I'm on my own side where moralcucks don't matter.
Dominic Robinson
Okay? Now what?
Jayden Lewis
Already read that, so what?
Cameron Morris
user I already fapped today, why would you do this?
Carson Allen
Is that normal? Is inviting a stranger in the private sexual sphere with the exact objective of humiliation for the male partner ok?
So sex is sacred. If not sacred is something that shouldn't be sellable or consumable. Any way something that goes deeper than visual simulation. The bourgeois views on sex and liberation makes it liberation of the instinct while sexual liberation should be about liberation of the emotional side. If you view sex as flesh you are brainwashed by bourgeois decadence
