Not a troll post

I heard about this happening in france and thought 'thank fuck its not happening here'

What will I do on those late nights or mid afternoons before pick up?? Just use my imagination, like a prehistoric cave woman???

😡🙈😡

Agreed. I think the OP’s attitude is immature, frankly

Yes. The legally enshrined ability to steal viewers personal data will be an additional revenue stream, it will make porn more profitable, not less.

What about my unrealistic ideas that every time I called a plumber out he'd be a 6'2 tanned Adonis packing equipment so cumbersome he could barely walk straight unassisted?

In reality, last time we had a leaky tap my other half spent three hours in there watching 'Changing Washers for Dummies' YouTube videos on a phone propped on his beer belly, flooded half the downstairs bathroom then rang his dad for moral support.

Weird that you make women against porn out to be against sex. Let me put you straight. I love sex. Can't get enough of it. Was pretty wild in my time. Outdoor sex, sex on the beach ( noone else was on the beach it was 4am) . I even banged a stranger in the back of his van once at a rave. I masturbate daily, can't be arsed with men at the moment, life's a bit full on. However I've ALWAYS been against porn. Do you understand that sex isn't porn?

Exactly.

The time was long ago to invest. Unless you mean buy a VPN for personal use? In which case, it is never too late.

Not quite sure what this is intended to achieve. Kids will use VPNs or go onto the dark web. They will still have access! Potentially to worse stuff...

How will they have access to "worse stuff"?

Kids after a quick hand shandy aren't using the dark web 😅

It's intended to put a complicated and annoying barrier in place to stop the majority of underage people casually accessing content.

Obviously anyone determined to see boobs will find a way to see boobs, as they have since the dawn of time.

I love sex. Just don't love the Porn industry which is inextricably linked with rape, abuse and an increase of dangerous and shit sex particularly for girls and women.

As well as a VPN, you could also use the Tor Browser to be anonymous. You don't get targetted ads and your browsing history will not be sold.

I don't understand the thinking that because any barrier to children having free access to horrendous images will never be totally impenetrable, that there is no point putting any barriers in place.

This will make it more difficult for children to access porn. This is a good thing.

Back in the days of sex shops and hedge porn teenagers did not believe that choking and anal sex were a normal part of a sexual relationship. And I never saw stories in the press about adult men raping actual babies.

Easy, instant, and anonymous access to images of constantly escalating depravity has not been good for society.

Finally something being done to try to stop easy access. Protecting young people’s minds. It’s a start.

Protecting young people’s minds.

Protecting their minds perhaps, but forcing them to hand their personal data to some pretty nasty people.

inextricably linked with rape, abuse and an increase of dangerous and shit sex

And these are the guys that are now legally required to have access to bank details, personal information, or at the very least, a photo.

Very many chn won’t and that’s the point. If it’s harder they will be deterred.

@youreactinglikeafunmum
Apologies if said already, but you don't need to upload your ID. You can verify via your primary email address so long as it has your age in the settings

If you have any ideas how to enforce a law against looking at porn online or offline e.g. magazines (yes Iceland made that illegal too) I'm sure the Icelandic authorities would be glad to hear it.

Even if it were possible to be enforced and LE chose to enforce it I'm not sure it would be in a country's best interest to give 70% of the population a criminal record.

I'm really pleased about this. It may not be perfect but it will certainly prevent young children stumbling across stuff. I expect the majority of people who aren't happy are male 'but it's not completely perfect' bleat, bleat, bleat.

Yeah I do think anyone who is extremely anti porn with no nuance has a messed up attitude to sex and an unsatisfying sex life. I feel bad for your partners if you have them and I feel bad for you that you won't ever know this aspect of the human experience in all its giddy, delicious glory.

I don't personally find porn that sexually satisfying but I know plenty of people do and I am pleased for them. "Use your imagination", "read some EROTIC POEMS", "gaze at the majesty of your own unwaxed yoni!". Whatever you do you some people like porn.

And it really irritates me that moron parents will still be handing their kids smartphones at 11 then getting shocked when they still cyber bully, access drugs, kill themselves. Take some damn responsibility for your own progeny.

Yeah so it's a deterrent in the eyes of the puritan brigade. A restriction on adult sexuality because they can't enjoy sex and feel furious with those who can.

I'm extremely anti-porn because I'm anti abuse of women.

I'm also anti FGM, anti domestic abuse, anti controlling behaviour, anti prostitution (but not anti prostituted women), anti upskirting, anti surrogacy, anti online trolling and abuse of women, anti femicide.

I'm unapologetic about all of that. None of it has anything to do with my sex life and everything to do with supporting women's rights and wanting women to be seen as full human beings rather than pieces of flesh with holes and a womb whose only purpose is to satisfy men's wishes.

Great news!!

That's terrible advice. Use a VPN. Do not tell these sites anything about yourself. Definitely not an email address.

What goes through people's minds? 🤯

Every one just installs a free VPN program or VPN based browser, every kid on the block shares it and the digital id is complete waste of time. 😂

Every one saying good, has zero thought of the unintended consequences either 🙄
