UK IS FINISHED - Compulsory age ID checks on porn to be introduced starting Apr 2018

[Total Imbecile]

Compulsory age ID checks will be introduced on online pornography from April 2018 in the UK.

The government announced the move this week in a bid to protect under-18s and digital minister Matt Hancock signed the commencement order for the Digital Economy Act, which introduces the requirement.

At this moment, there are no actual details on how this will work. Some experts also think the proposed date is “unrealistic.”

The act also sets out other online laws including punishing the use of bots to snatch up scores of concert tickets which artists like Ed Sheeran and You Me At Six have been calling for for a long time.

How will this ID check work?
An age-check requirement applies to any website or other online platform that provides pornography "on a commercial basis" to people in the UK.

Businesses that refuse to comply can be fined and regulators can ask third-party payment services to withdraw support.

Regulators will also be able to block porn websites if they fail to show that they are denying access to under-18s.

These websites will be required to demand credit card details or proof of age and face fines of up to £250,000 or being blocked by UK internet service providers if they do not comply.

Mindgeek, which operates several of the world's most popular porn sites has expressed support for this in the past.

There are some reservations from experts however. Dr Victoria Nash says while "It may make it harder for children to stumble across pornography, especially in the younger age range, but it will do nothing to stop determined teenagers."

Another critic is Dr Joss Wright from the Oxford Internet Institute who said "There's privacy issues - you're requiring people to effectively announce the fact they are looking at this material to the credit card authorities. "And there's serious security issues from requiring people to enter their credit card details into untrusted sites.”

What are the current UK porn laws?

In December 2014, the jurisdiction of the British Board of Film Classification was extended to include pornography available over video on demand and streaming platforms, effectively aligning internet pornography laws with the Video Recordings Act 1984.

This brought a renewed controversy over the banning of depiction of certain sex acts including depictions "physical or verbal abuse", "roleplay as non-adults", and female ejaculation, among others.

Extreme Pornography

The offence of possession of extreme pornographic images in Part 5, sections 63 to 67 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 (the Act) came into force in 2009.

Sections 63 to 67 of the Act make it an offence to possess pornographic images that depict acts which threaten a person's life; acts which result in or are likely to result in serious injury; bestiality; or necrophilia. They also provide for the exclusion of classified films etc. and set out defences and the penalties for the offence.

Revenge Pornography

Revenge pornography is the public sharing of sexually explicit media without the consent of the pictured individual, usually following the breakdown of an intimate relationship and with the intention of causing the victim distress.

Indecent photographs of children

Section 1 of the Protection of Children Act 1978 covers the taking, making, distribution, showing or possession with a view to distributing any indecent image of a child. This offence or an offence contrary to section 160 Criminal Justice Act 1988 should be charged instead of an Obscene Publications offence where the material concerned includes indecent images of children.

Children and Young Persons (Harmful Publications) Act 1955

This Act applies to any book, magazine or other like work which is of a kind likely to fall into the hands of children or young persons and consists wholly or mainly of stories told in pictures (with or without the addition of written matter), being stories portraying:

the commission of crimes; or
acts of violence or cruelty; or
incidents of a repulsive or horrible nature;
in such a way that the work as a whole would tend to corrupt a child or young person into whose hands it might fall.

This will happen in the us soon, I bet it.

 

[itsOVER]

Good job I'm leaving this shithole in April!

Although being well over 18 already this cuck law wouldn't affect me.

 

[Deleted member 2119]

I'm not a ukcel and over 18 but I doubt that it would even work.

 

[KilluminoidBR]

When i was Sub18 i never cared about sex, didnt give a fuck about porn.

Anyone else was like me at that age?? i was almost assexual O_o

Well at least you guys arent Sweden.

This if you didnt care about sex before 18 i bet you are low t af i jerked it 3 times a day frim age 11

 

[Deleted member 1617]

I use a VPN to watch it anyway.

Dude.. Not only UK is almost Australia tier with hypergamy and chads everywhere, but they also want to do this

 

[Deleted member 1983]

welp im 21 but i aint giving porn sites my fucking card details fuck that... UKcels such as I are so cucked by our country.

 

[Cuck-Damage]

I doubt it will change much, unless you're like under 18.

Also this is probably a good thing tbh

 

[mikepence]

The good thing about America is that while even though we kind of are a shithole country, at least we are extremely libertarian in comparison to Europe. Some of the shit going on in the UK is borderline Orwellian

 

[Hunter]

why must my country be so cucked

 

[spergcel]

Do they want ER? Because it is how you get ER.

 

[Solitarian_Walker]

UK is cucked, it's good they left the EU.

 

[A Good Friend]

I noticed the wording said something about porn being the sites primary business.

So this probably won't apply to image boards, so you can still go there.

Or just torrent.

 

[KV3]

I’m not sure if this is a result of UK getting cucked or of Muslims implementing UK sharia.

Either way it’s hilarious

 

[RREEEEEEEEE]

I’m not sure if this is a result of UK getting cucked or of Muslims implementing UK sharia.

It's the next step to defeating degeneracy, and you're still not content? Who cares if this is a result of "the UK getting cucked." This is a step every western country should take.

 

[Bushladen008]

Pornography is degenerate, how do you think cucks are made? with pornography of course, your brain associate pleasure with watching a man fuck a female, this is cuckoldry.

 

[RichCel]

OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO.

UK is like a permanent lolcow these days. Mudslime goatfucker running London, refugees everywhere and now this.

Top kek.

 

[Grotesque]

I can't see this happening.

Allowing shady porn sites, which are the vast majority of them, to demand info like credit cards will create far more headaches than preventing little Billy from masturbating.

 

[Themisterpepsi]

That's why everyone should stick to solo porn or pictures

 

[imbored21]

lmao. When I was a teenager I literally considered raping women or at least dead bodies of women because I was so horny. I can't even imagine what I would have done without porn to release.

 

[Recon9]

When i was Sub18 i never cared about sex, didnt give a fuck about porn.

yea its just you lad, I've been JOing since I was just a wee shota, however, in my younger years I didnt use porn, just my imagination, oh and before I turned 12 I was scared of naked women for some reason, So I always pictured scantily clad women in my mind instead

 

[Total Imbecile]

It shouldnt be done before banning premarital sex. Letting Chad roam free and women do what they want while banning porn and other outlets used by incels isnt right. The fact is that whoever is behind this bill isnt looking to fight degeneracy but purge incels.

Ok you got a point.

ALLAHU AKBAR. the infidels actually took a step to protecting their youth. This is the first step to successful dawah. Allahu akbar.

 

[Deleted member 776]

Its laughable if you think this will slow anyone down. VPN and proxy usage will go up, that's for sure.

 

[PM_ME_STRIPPERS]

That guy made some great points - "There are some reservations from experts however. Dr Victoria Nash says while "It may make it harder for children to stumble across pornography, especially in the younger age range, but it will do nothing to stop determined teenagers."

"And there's serious security issues from requiring people to enter their credit card details into untrusted sites.”

But hey if the government is gonna push for this they will push for it, it cant really be stopped, yes as that guy mentioned theres privacy issues but if your over 18 and accessing the site legally is there really a problem? Our privacy is sold out everywhere and anywhere these days anyway. Nothing is safe.

 

[VincentVanCope]

Pfft, just use a VPN.

 

[futureabstract]

By the way, the article kind of glossed over the most interesting part with mindgeek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MindGeek) which owns youporn, pornhub, redtube, and brazzers. Doesn't it seem strange that basically the company that owns 90% of tube sites would be in favor of age restrictions?

This explains more https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/9kqp43/uk-porn-is-about-to-change-in-a-way-youre-not-going-to-like. TLDR, mindgeek wants to corner the market on age verification. All your porn habits in one place, tied to CC information+biodata.

 

[Deleted member 279]

This is feminism in action. People are saying "just use a VPN" but we have to remember the guys it'll be affecting are under 18 and may not necessarily know how to. Porn consumption will definitely decrease somewhat at best which will hopefully lead to more sexually frustrated young men going ER.

 

[idkwattodowithlife]

Lol, my god...

UK has a lot of Incels (those that are aware and unaware), and of course there's plenty of sexually frustrated men.

Most of the horrible online dating stories, I hear about comes from the UK. I also heard the women are not nice up there. Lol, you guys fucked inside, and out, and also you guys are fucked from both sides.

I can't just imagine how sexually depraved all of those fellas must be?

Damn... I feel sorry for UKcels, they don't deserve this tbh.

 

[oilonthe-Rose]

Fuark, time to get some of the best stuff downloaded.

 

[idkwattodowithlife]

I am from fucking raging hard right now
It’s not enough that the UK is arguably the most hypergamous country on earth, now they got to take one of the few copes away from young incels like myself.
Tfw when 18 years old and don’t have a credit card
Great, I’m absolutely fucked now

Lol.

Land of Chads. Land of Stuck Up Bitches. Land of Welfare fraudsters. Land of Incels.

And now they need ID checks for you to view porn.

You guys are fucked from all directions.

 

[idkwattodowithlife]

The fact that other members tinder experiments of me proves that I can slay girls 2 points above my looksmax in EE is absolutely infuriating in comparison to the shit I have to deal with in the UK.
This is more motivation to looksmax so I can go from a PSL 5.75 to a PSL 7. Desperately browsing realself right now

EE girls had been shown to be better wife material for British men than British women, but however we have a lot of Slavs in this forum, and they too are struggling to get with their own women sadly. EE girls are taking chances with foreign guys, probably as a means to escape from their countries.

Lol. Good luck with that kid.

 

[Akarin]

Great news. Pornography is degenerate.

 

[CopingGymcel]

This may actually be a good thing if it works (it probably won't). Porn causes men to develop a higher inhib towards women, as they learn from an early age that all they have to do is masturbate and everything will be alright.

 

[Juxtaposition6]

I doubt it will change much, unless you're like under 18.

Also this is probably a good thing tbh

[font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]These websites will be required to demand credit card details or proof of age and face fines of up to £250,000 or being blocked by UK internet service providers if they do not comply.[/font]

Most websites if not all wouldn't comply simply because doing so will require them to rework their websites to accommodate brits and they won't do that for just one country so they'd get blocked.​

 

[Panda]

Now every uk high schooler will just have a vpn on their computer

you can still torrent so just chill fam

Me.

I am 26 now, and I still don't care about sex much. But the thing that kills me is that I can't get sex if I wanted it.

we will have to wait and see, only time will tell

That stuff about determined teenagers is laughable at best, there is no way to by-pass the checks unless you hack into the porn site server
