Just a reminder that Brits won't be able to access Yea Forums from April 2019

>government cannot into technology
I appreciate that you believe this
Sounds like a really good way to compile a lot of peoples' information under the pretense of 'helping them out' or 'doing a service.'

CASE CLOSED EVERYONE!!

Reading that it seems like it's just "Pornhub, YouPorn, RedTube and Brazzer" that will need ID verification as it's done by their company
The article states that "all online commercial pornography services accessible from the UK are required to carry age-verification controls."
So it will just be a warning pop up.
Why are Amerifats such drama fags

theoretically no, in practice yes. Any site can add the new age verification, but adding new functionalities to a website always costs time and money. If you're European you'll know that a lot of non-EU websites simply blocked EU users when the EU's new rules about cookies and data collection went into effect, either because they didn't think that had enough EU traffic to make it worthwhile, or because they were too small to make the upgrades.

There are millions of porn sites all across the globe, and most of them aren't UK based and don't give a shit about UK law and won't bother jumping through the hoops necessary to make themselves compliant. So MindGeek will be able to have the UK government block them.

90% of porn sites are out of the UK's control and openly breach copyright so they aint gonna comply, it will just be the biggber pay porn sites. outlaw porn sites will not change

>If you're European you'll know that a lot of non-EU websites simply blocked EU users when the EU's new rules about cookies and data collection went into effect
What are you talking about, name 5 popular sites that were blocked

Hmmm...So he was behind that...?

no you idiot, it specifically says that it'll go from just being a warning pop-up to being something that requires some sort of real ID to get through. ISPs will be required to block any site that doesn't implement the new system. The MindGeek system is for /every/ website, not just the ones they own.

well that article does not say that, provide proof that mind geek is implemented everywhere

None of the big popular websites went down, because they had the money and the incentive to upgrade their systems. I've mostly seen it when trying to read a American news story - local newspapers will block European traffic rather than deal with the hassle of changing their site. In the EU's case however, it's not doing any blocking - any non-compliant site just puts themselves at risk of being fined for violating EU law. So the sites that block EU traffic are doing it themselves - it's the ones that are legit enough to worry about being sued. Shitty Russian porn sites don't care and go on operating regardless.

The UK is going to be blocking traffic, though

>the mirror

Don’t believe everything you read, kid.

"If a user verifies on one AgeID protected site, they will not need to perform this verification again on any other site carrying AgeID."

"Any porn site that fails to comply with the news rules faces a fine of up to £250,000, or a blanket block by UK internet service providers."

Thats everywhere m8

So basically everyone in the UK will have to have an account they use across all porn websites and that is linked to their personal identification, so somewhere will be a database of all the different kind of porn and fettish material each individual is into.. Sounds like a totally good idea.

>"If a user verifies on one AgeID protected site, they will not need to perform this verification again on any other site carrying AgeID."
so that would indicate it's not "mind geek" being used everywhere like you stated.

also you seem to think the Government here are in any way competent and all the ISP's happily work togeather which is not the case, not all the ISP's joined at the same time or at all when there was a block on certain torrent sites years ago.

I just dont think this will happen the way people seem to think it will

I think ISPs will get complaints andf just do a opt in 1 time adult verification at their end

The Digital Economy Act 2017 means that ALL websites with any >18 content have to implement age verification procedures.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Economy_Act_2017

AgeID was developed by MindGeek in collaboration with the British Board of Film Classification and third party tech companies. Because of the Digital Economy Act of 2017, all websites have to implement some form of ID verification, and MindGeek intends:
>that the software would be made commercially available to all pornographic websites accessible within the UK,
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MindGeek#Age_verification_in_the_UK

Meaning that when porn sites start getting blocked in April, instead of going through the effort and expense of developing their own system that meets UK government standards they can just buy into MindGeek's system. The vast majority of companies wouldn't be able to afford to do otherwise. Their choices will be: be blocked, or buy into a system created and run by your competitor.

a system that will mean it's easier to get hold of cp than regular porn, yeah thats a real good idea (sarcasm)

"email address and password, and verify their age using a credit card, passport or driving licence."

>Current year
>typing your credit card information into a computer

the UK wants you all to get your identities stolen smh

I thought they did that years ago

What part of "a fine of up to £250,000" didn't you understand? This isn't optional. ISPs can't just decide they're not going to implement the new system because they're getting too many complaints.

Did you read the article? Mindgeek developed the AgeID software...

but they would be complying because they have my card details to pay the bill so they have verified my age and I have given them consent on my account to bypass it.
i'm just suggesting a different method of verification that is done at ISP level rather than the individual site

Yeah, I was being sarcastic, too. Nobody should be able to build a profile on peoples porn viewing habits like that, not without consent. It's one of the reasons I've never made an account on any porn website, but this new thing is gonna make you actually identify yourself. Seems like total bullshit. I'm not worried, thought. I've got a view TB of my favourite hardcore porn on a throwaway laptop.

That makes sense to me. You could add an 18+ internet account as a service for a small charge a month.

You ever seen one of these blackmail emails with old password leaks, saying "I hacked your webcam and saw what kind of porn you watch while you masturbate and I'll send it to everyone on your social media if you don't give me 1btc" etc, this new system literally would hand ALL of that information over to anyone able to hack it, assuming it keeps some kind of data on your viewing habits, which I'm sure it will.

>a lot
not all

you know, this is a good point not one person brought up. if you are to provide enough proof or identification of your identity then it could easily be stolen. this is fucking porn companies and providers we're talking about. there's always something going on behind the scenes in that sense.

>I've got a view TB of my favourite hardcore porn on a throwaway laptop.
You'll get bored of it. You think a couple of TB will be enough, but it won't be. Sooner or later, you'll start craving something new.

going back to dark ages

congrats

I wonder how many of these sites that comply with this will lose a a lot of traffic/ad money as people just think screw it and use a shit tube site.
cuz if it's a case of a one offcard check that generates a user/pass to get passed the mind geek login then I would just not use the site

possibly but I can find more stuff on tor from sites that the government would've definitely already blocked by now if it was that easy.

list ones that are not blocked please

>screw it and use a shit tube site.
Those are going to be blocked.

Sure, new ones will pop up - but how many people will be able to find them before they're blocked too? Since MindGeek is their direct competitor, it has an incentive to hunt down as many non-compliant sites as possible.

Fewer britbong shitposters? Sign me up

Dude I dont type my credit card info into computers EVER. I use an Ipod if I wanna order off Steam (say what you will they are pretty secure) or I buy those Visa gift cards from the store and you can order most anywhere with those.

But my actual drivers licence or payment info? Get fucked. Might as well ask for their SSN and mothers maiden name....

You'll miss us you flaming roodypoo

but Youa are banking on ISP's taking immediate action

Jesus that's some Orwellian bullshit.

Anyone have actual proof Yea Forums will be affected? as ity's not technically a porn site it's an img board also if it is i wonder if 4channel will be seperate

How many times do I have to say this: ISPs WILL BE REQUIRED BY LAW TO IMMEDIATELY BLOCK WEBSITES THAT ARE REPORTED TO THEM

If they don't act, or don't act quickly enough, then they'll be opening themselves up to prosecution under the Digital Economy Act 2017 - which no ISP is going to risk.

I genuinely don't understand why you're having such difficulty coming to grips with this concept.

"The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) will also be able to block porn websites if they fail to show they are denying access to under-18s."

Probably falls into this category tbh

I wonder if thats why another company owns all the work safe boards.

it's anything that hosts adult content. So 4channel might escape - in fact this may be part of the reason nip moot decided to separate the boards.

>major corporations just ignore laws because they are lame

You're a child.

>the year is 2021
>UK government has banned all porn
>people are sad, using the power of their minds to fap, but alas, it's not the same
>porn dealers are on an all time rise
>kids at school selling USB sticks full of high quality porn
>the porn black market is the only thing keeping the cogs of the UK turning

What the fuck is wrong with my country?

People are gonna move back to VHS or DVD lol

Read the pic in the OP. Your government is trying to build a framework that will effectively allow them to censor the internet entirely.

Bruh I remember finding like quater of a page from a porn mag in a street when I was like 8 and kept that shit for months because I had no other way to see a pussy.. Those days are coming back, I might do my bit and buy a few mags to scatter pages through parks and shit.

"Ms James said the scheme was less workable for enforcing routinely flouted social media age limits, as there isn’t yet a system for verifying younger ages where children may not have ID or bank cards that act as a proxy for their age."

So Teens on social media will provide all the porn in the UK

finding dada color climax vhs tape was a good day

Just a reminder the UK has been trying to block illegal football/soccer streams for years to no avail and they said the same things fines/blocks etc and fuck all happened

I never understood why the UK decided 16 year olds can fuck but they're not mature enough to watch other people fuck until they're 18. Feels kinda backwards.

I was thinking about setting up a business selling porn IDs to kids for £20 each. Every crisis is also an opportunity. And it's great because every time they get caught they'll need a new ID.

How many people actually watch those, though? Of course there are still going to be porn sites that slip through the cracks, but the vast majority of people won't be able to find them.

Protip, credit card information doesnt list the ages of the card holders.

I've bought beer with my 18 year old brothers debit card and they never even blinked.

Its not like there is a warning that pops up saying "the money in this account is owned by a little kid" I dont work retail so I dont know maybe that is a prompt but if that was the case why do they have to take your drivers licence if you buy with a card?

Stack up more, fortune favours the prepared

I mean millions and millions of people illegally download GoT. So I'd guess a fair few since football is so popular.

selling usb stick porn collections is a good idea if you live near a school

>is a good idea if you live near a school
yea a great way to get charged with a sex crime

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Economy_Act_2017
"The regulator's proposals have to be approved three months before coming into effect"
It says they have to give 3 months notice before the laws come into effect, anyone know if sites have had this 3 month warning?

Europe has been a gigantic swirling shithole for a while now. You're only just noticing?

every year before the season starts they make statements try new things etc, I think it's a lot more than you realise at least the FA and Premier League etc think so

They were going to implement it last year, so probably

Oh I believe it, I'm saying millions get a popular show for free to think they wouldnt want the most popular game for free is silly.

>Digital_Economy_Act_2017
>its currently 2019

Its been 2 years lol

no they said it was not ready and it was delayed, they would need to give a definite start date (serve notice) if they are saying it a law and saying they will fine people/sites. It's a legal think not just a meh probably. They would have to re-serve the 3 month notice with the written start date/time as a judge needs a written document to point to to be able to prosecute

theyt have to give the sites a 3 month adopt the requirements or face the coinsequences period, the date the bill passed is not the styart date or it would not need to mention in the bill that they are required to give a 3 month start date, also the bill was passed before they knew the tech was reday to deploy.
