There are two main regs. to comply with when dealing with ATVOD:
1) You can't show any R18+ content in the free area, that means cock, pussy, penetration. Anything that you would see on TV for example a figure nude in a movie or babe in a skimpy thong on a babe channel you can show.
This brings me onto the first bullshit contradiction about all these regulations. If you wanted to buy an 18 video as opposed to an R18 video in a store you would have to prove you were 18, fine. However 18 level content is streamed via Sky onto our TV sets every night across a multitude of channels with no controls at all, not even compulsory pinning of all the channels.
2) You can only allow people that are 18 or over the ability to join your members area. This is done by only accepting credit cards, debit cards and bank accounts are not allowed.
Atvod seemed to have admitted defeat in being able to regulate UK sites in an equitable manner as they have now suggested to the UK government that they make it illegal for banks to process adult site memberships unless age can be verified. Essentially this would mean only credit cards being used but having it done at a higher level rather than individual site level. This would effect all UK memberships to all adult websites.
I have never known an organisation so utterly clueless and misguided about part of an industry that they are supposed to "know" about, after all they are the regulator.
One final time ATVOD.........UNDER 18'S DO NOT PAY FOR PORN........SEND EVERY ADULT WEBMASTER TO THE FIRING SQUAD AND YOU WILL NOT MAKE ONE IOTA OF DIFFERENCE TO THE ABILITY FOR KIDS TO SEE PORN......UNLESS YOU BLOCK ALL THE TUBES AND FREE CAM SITES.....WHICH YOU WON'T FUCKING DO COS THAT'S TOO EASY !
