    UK's controversial 'porn blocker' plan dropped

    The government has dropped a plan to use strict age verification checks to stop under-18s viewing porn online.

    It said the policy, which was initially set to launch in April 2018, would "not be commencing" after repeated delays, and fears it would not work.

    The so-called porn blocker would have forced commercial porn providers to verify users' ages, or face a UK ban.

    Digital Secretary Nicky Morgan said other measures would be deployed to achieve the same objectives.

    The government first mooted the idea of a porn blocker in 2015, with the aim of stopping youngsters "stumbling across" inappropriate content.

                                UK’s Age Verification Requirement ‘Delay’ Becomes Permanent

                                The UK seems to have given up on their "age verification" system...

                                https://www.ynot.com/uk-age-verifica...ment-scrapped/

                                Frankly... You aren't going to stop kids. A friend of mine has a kid and has all kinds of restrictions on what they can and can not do on their phone or online. They moved the ability download apps, removed broswers and social media apps, and.... The kid discovered that Google maps has it's own little browser built in and with all of the restrictions they have on the phone the kid could still view whatever he wanted.

                                  It sure is difficult to create internet with no restricted adult content. Somewhere sex always comes up.

                                    There are far easier ways to restrict kids stumbling on hardcore porn. As usual politicians tried to invent a new one that would never work.

                                    This is the quality of our leaders!!!!!!!

                                      As expected.

                                      Imagine all those 'age verification' companies that popped up that spend so much time and money in development, advertising, sponsorships, flying people around etc. Even when everyone knew this was never going to happen they kept saying it will. They must have wasted millions.

                                        That happens when you build you business on government regulation instead actually providing useful service. If their service is good enough to be useful without must have factor, then they should be doing fine.
