I think that's a silly example.

Clothing and food are vital, this seems like just an attempt to encroach on people's rights in the guise of protecting children.

I wonder how long it'll be before this block spreads to things other than porn?

Because I don't like where it could lead. Everything begins with small steps.

I just don't think this is about protecting kids at all but seeing what they can get away with restricting by saying that it's for the benefit of children.

To know they are disgusting to one (with absolute certainty), you have to have looked at least once.

[bitontheslide]

in a couple of years they will say it didn't work as well as expected, so they need to tighten up in a few more areas. I'ts a pretty obvious strategy

[The Slim Reaper]

I feel sorry for the kids coming up that will never properly learn how to choke a girl to within an inch of her life and make her gag all over herself.

I'm thankful my generation grew up with proper teachers.

This might lead to blocking/banning/censoring certain video games as well as movies that are deemed "too violent" and or otherwise inappropriate.

How on earth is this comparable to parents in financial difficulty having help with feeding their kids?

Yes, but "Saving the children from that dutty porn" is the excuse with which they are introducing these internet restrictions, which will only increase and spread rapidly.

No its not a silly example you seem to think parents are helicoptering around their kids 24/7 when that is pretty much an impossibility

Its the same principal that parents can be monitoring their kids 24/7, same as parents can fail when it comes to feeding and clothing their kids due to outside influences ie losing a job or a partner the same goes for parenting kids in general....so to say parents should be protecting their children 24/7 from outside influences is pretty much impossible

How's this going to be policed? What's to stop a kid from "borrowing" their parents passport or driving licence?
Also, a guy on bbc news said many sites with mixed content including porn will slip through the net.
Idk, need to see the details.
But thank god for my offline porn collection.
A friend of mine who relies only on online porn and is a freak about his privacy will be fuming

If this is targeting school kids, then they are the ones that will get lured into underground methods of watching it, and that is an environment far more dangerous than what they are being blocked from watching. It's just not been thought through properly at all.

This is a very good point; a likely outcome is that some teens will head to the Dark Web to access normal porn, where they will encounter things that are so far outwith the realms of "normal" that they make a bukkake cuck party look like a wholesome family movie.

Is that friend me? Lol.

Does this mean Google images will be blocked too?

Don’t really see why this is necessary
What really are the negative effects of like 15 and 16 year olds watching porn? Yea maybe they develop unrealistic standards of what women should look like etc but that’s not really something that needs to be strictly covered by the law it just needs to be talked about more

I think you'll just be able to go through your service provider to get it turned off. You won't have to provide ID when your trousers are around your ankles.

[JerseyWins]

You guys think you’re slick trying to get RileyH out of there

[JerseyWins]

That sounds mad shady @ the ways of verifying age that have been mentioned here. No one over there to be watching porn anymore?
