Business UK - Age Verification - Important Announcement - GoFuckYourself.com

MichaelP · 10-12-2018, 09:05 AM

Hello all,

We have an important announcement from AgeChecked. Please read the following statement and view the website link below. In particular please read the extensive list of FAQs provided by the BBFC, the UK age verification regulator.

As you are no doubt aware, the UK Government passed a law in 2017 that will require age checks on adult content sites that are accessed from the UK. The Regulator, the BBFC, will oversee enforcement.

I’d like to update you on recent developments regarding the UK Regulator’s guidance on age verification and the date that the new law comes into effect.

The DCMS, the government ministry that is in effect the “boss” of the Regulator, has just submitted the draft guidelines of the Regulator to the UK Parliament for ratification.

The final guidelines are unlikely to change from the draft which has been submitted to Parliament. The process is more or less a debate to approve (or reject) the guidelines as they stand. I mention this as it is now possible to read the draft guidelines on the site Age-verification under the Digital Economy Act 2017 which the Regulator has just published.

Frustratingly, there is no date timetabled by the UK Parliament for the ratification of the guidelines. However, the current best estimate is seven weeks from today. Once the guidelines have been ratified, the date at which the Regulator will start to enforce the law will be announced. At that point we will all finally have a clear deadline by which age verification should be put in place. It has been stated many times that this will be up to three months from the ratification, which will give us a date in Q1 2019.

AgeChecked will send out an update as soon as the guidelines and effective date are announced.

I hope this update has been helpful. Should you wish to have any more information about the UK timelines or AgeCheckeds Service, please feel free to contact me.

I run an online pornography service. How do I know if my service is in scope?

- All online pornography services operating on a commercial basis, wherever they are based, are covered by the law. The government defines what ‘commercial basis’ means in the draft Online Pornography (Commercial Basis) Regulations. This includes websites which offer pornographic content for free, but which generate revenue through advertising or through 'premium' content which must be paid for.

I run an online pornography service. Will age-verification harm my business?

- Adults only need to verify that they are over 18 and then they can continue to use your site. For more information about age-verification solutions, please see our section on age-verification certification.

Quote:

What about audio or text only pornographic content?

- All types of pornographic content are within the scope of the legislation. The legislation does not exclude audio or text from its definition of pornography. All providers of commercial online pornography to persons in the UK are required to comply with the age-verification requirement.

I’m sure you have a lot of questions, rest assured myself and the AgeChecked team are here to help

No online registration or verification is 16 year old proof. All it takes is a VPN, register as an adult, register as one's parent. And if you think teenage boys aren't able to figure that out, your dumber than dumb.

UK politicians did this to convince old ladies they are doing something. When the job of policing all porn sites online is a mammoth task and blocking them impossible.

Bump for biz

I don't think it really matters what's fool proof. Bottom line something should be done online to help limit the amount of adult content that is so readily available.

I am 38 and when I found out how spank the monkey there was only the occasional mag or smacking it in between bars to Skinnemax since we didn't pay for Cinnemax when I was a kid.

Now, type whatever the F you want and poof instant content delivery. The responsible answer here is to find a way to minimize it. Of course I did find my dad's collection in various times in my life and did hit the jackpot, but nothing like today with PornHub, RedTube etc.

Age verification in general is a step in the right direction, but of course there will always be the kid who figures out the loophole etc and I don't think that is the target audience. Just like the kid who had a bit more facial hair that could buy the mag or get you the smokes after school.

Bingo !

Keep in mind guys that the main point of AgeVerification is NOT to prevent the 16 Yo kid who wants to see porn to do so.. He will always find a way around it...

The point is to prevent young kids to stumble on Hardore Porn

Tube sites like xhamster, pornhub, redtube, chaturbate should have browsing blocked by default until your age is proved.

Adult sites in general should use meta tags to identify their content as "Restricted to Adults":
