FULL TITLE: SHOPPING FOR SMUT UK ‘porn block’ starts April 1 – but you can unlock it by handing over ID or buying £5 ‘porn card’ on your local high street
WATCHING free porn in Britain is about to get a lot trickier thanks to new rules that aim to protect children from online smut.
As early as next month, porn sites will be required to get proof of ID from UK residents before showing any X-rated clips.
That includes free porn sites like PornHub and YouPorn – which attract nearly 2billion visits a month between them worldwide.
They'll join a number of other sites in using the AgeID system, which requires users to verify their age via an official form of ID such as a driver's license or passport.
From April, when the new system is expected to launch, randy internet lurkers will be shown a non-pornographic "landing page", according to AgeID spokesman James Clark.
"When a user first visits a site protected by AgeID, a landing page will appear with a prompt for the user to verify their age before they can access the site," he told The

I see most people ignoring this.
VPN. Fake IDs. Etc.
They will just buy a VPN service based on another country.
can you say VPN???
So you think they’re going to let you use a VPN forever?
Outlawing VPNs is on the to-do list.
Not after they outlaw VPNs, which is coming.
Stupidity rules in Britain
good luck kids
This will be easily defeated by vpn / pki.
At that point, the UK gov has to decide if they’re going to use any backdoors they have into pki, thus proving existence of those backdoors, to enforce the new law.
“Outlawing VPNs is on the to-do list.”
Good luck.
The only way you ultimately win that one is to outlaw encryption. That’d be a great way to destroy your economy.
Not to mention how many businesses rely on vpn for securing their data. For most consumers it’s a buzzword but it’s an integral part of secure business communications and has been for years.
In the military there’s a concept that says you should not issue orders you know will be disobeyed. Similar principle at work.
Yup
As long as you cab push data through port 80, like normal HTML, you can send anything to anyone.
You can send ordinary looking text that has an encrypted side-channel.
Long ago I built a system under contract to send a side-channel of data using ordinary acoustic modems. The data was encoded by using very slight shifts in frequency and timing of the modems audio data.
As the judge said on the day that he acquitted my Aunt Hortense,
To be smut it must be ut-terly without redeeming social importance.
Psh, there are better options than VPN even. Think remote desktop. Then the request isn’t even originating on your box. Some enterprising folks (hell, it probably already exists) could make a bundle with a RDC browser only shell solution.
Ext are gun sites or religious sites that don’t embrace fag agendas.
I’m betting Brits will quickly become highly versed in how to use proxy servers to get around this.
The EU copyright directive will consolidate big tech’s power
Yeah, for a whole host of technical reasons it’s practically unenforceable.
Will get somebody lots of votes from the STOOOOOPID though.
