Right, so a 14 year old will have to pay £5. I guess that's one way of boosting the local economy.

I'm sorry but isn't it pretty much impossible to 'block' the internet...?

Tor browser will work and it’s free. Most tech savvy teens are already using it to buy their drugs.

So.....how does that prevent a kid on their phone/laptop accessing porn when the adults of the house have already had the porn unlocked by the ISP supplying the house?

Opera browser on the desktop has had free VPN in-built for years. Opera beta on phone now has it as well.

New law will have no effect on anyone with an IQ over 60.

Not to mention that there's tons and tons of smut on supposedly ordinary or "family friendly" sites such as flickr, youtube, twitter,, reddit and tumblr (still, despite their supposed December ban). And all those sites know full well, the advertising on those pages is part of their business model.

Thus unless whatever the government is going to use to enact their porn block inspects right down to every image URL (like some of the expensive corporate filters do) rather than just being a block on the whole of a particular domain name, it will be completely pointless anyway.

why would anyone put porn on any of those websites ? surely anyone looking for porn just heads to porn hub, you porn etc ?

I don't know, laziness? because they're free? because they don't stand out in logs or dns caches? sorry to say though, you're naive if you think the porn is all only on pornhub etc.

I only heard of tumblr after the ban. Apparently it was good for niche porn. Easy to search blogs that specialised and was very popular.

Reddit has had porn in it for ages in load of subreddits I don’t like the format of that forum but I think it stated as gonewild or something then like tumblr lots of sub Reddit’s that specialised you know nuns or whatever.

i can see this ending badly. 90% of adults registering will use the same username and password that they use on every other site. They will land on a random porn site that says please log in to AgeID to few some bouncy boobs. The site will not actually be registered with AgeID and they will harvest lots of usernames and passwords.

throw in the fact people would enter their card details if it asked you to confirm your card.

Just my thoughts.

If you type VPN into Google play or the app store you'll have tons of options. Most under 18s especially the ones who want porn are going to know this.

Are our government really that stupid?

There's a billion ways to get around it, most of them a piece of piss. Typical government not having a clue about how st works in the real world, not to mention putting the whole AgeID system into Mindgeek's hands - I bet they're over the moon with that little coup.

I also concur with the comment that fake 'AgeID' logins will be used to obtain details from the naive - it will be a disaster.

Just search something like erotic movie or film its not realy hard core stuff but there is a bits on there. Try Caligula.

There probably is hidden hard core stuff but i've not seen it.
