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???

😡🙈😡

Having this block in might lead parents to think that porn is inaccessible online, and give them a false sense of security

Many don't care and cba to learn about how to use blockers etc. they would much prefer everyone to lose their rights and continue to give kids smart phones.

As with many things governments do, it is to be seen to do something rather than actually tackling a problem.

This will stop practically nobody. It is ridiculously simple to bypass.

How long till some scammers launch a new free porn site about something mildly embarrassing, accept people’s IDs for proof they’re adults (which they’ll now do willingly because of this law), then just blackmail them instead saying they’ll tell their family or boss. I give it a month or two.

I just visited a porn site I believe to be "mainstream" to see what happens without a vpn. Turns out the validation is photo.

So I put my "teenager" head on and asked myself where the nearest source of an adult face is. There are two. My wedding photo in the lounge and my graduation photo in the spare room. Basically my treasured memories are now my kids porn access code. 😡

They're going in the loft.

You don’t need to go in the dark web to ‘access more than porn”. There are at any one time thousands of videos on Porn Hub of children (the youngest was 3) and women being raped, women being suffocated and choked. Porn Hub have been forced to remove 90 % of their content because they could not prove age or consent. But new videos appear daily.

This won’t stop adults and teens using vpns and fake IDs but it might stop 7-12 year old boys accessing it. That’s where the real concern lies. Very young boys are accessing very violent, often crime scene pornographic content and this is shaping them and their future. It has to stop and this is one step in the right direction.

There is a very long way to go. Google Traffickinghub or Laila Mickelwait for more on this. She is the absolute hero behind this.

It wasn't even hacked. The images of the driving licences were stored in a folder that was open to the Internet. The "hackers" just had to go to the right url. There was no security at all

An abysmal attempt at keeping users data safe.

OP (and every one else who likes PornHub), please read this article. I do not believe you will ever watch online porn again after you do, or if you continue, then you are a monster.

This is what porn is doing to young people. I had a VERY wide range of sexual adventures before I settled down in my mid 20s. I never experienced anything like this. This is not what happens in normal pleasurable sex, and we shouldn't allow children and young people to believe that it is.

Why don't you read a book instead.

I was listening to a discussion on the issue on Radio 2 - about 60% of children viewing porn do so by accident - it will stop those, which is more the point really.

Why do people post stuff like this in AIBU? You want us to vote on whether or not you are being reasonable to tell us something? It makes no sense.

Why? Surely it matters not a jot if you're an adult.

Kids need protection from porn. It's deeply harmful on many many levels

Good. About time.

Can’t wait for the data leak where we find out what freaky porn all the MPs are watching. The tabloids are salivating.

It’s not just porn. Any NSFW posts on Reddit are banned- I clicked on someone’s profile today who had posted a lot in suicide prevention and that was flagged . I had to do Face ID .

Then upload your ID and carry on as normal.
Surely the information is data protected.

Would you elaborate on this please? Genuinely interested

Adult DD absolutely loves erotic fiction. She listens to audiobooks on the train whilst on her way home from work.

There's no such thing as 100% secure data

It will be leaked or hacked

Surely. 🙄

It won’t work and I very much doubt it’ll stop sex trafficking.

opera browser and activate vpn and result. and its a free browser and vpn option (not that i advocate porn as i prefer literotica stories)

theres also the site literotica with various stories on etc

Good so glad about this. Don’t care about pervert’s privacy.
