UK: Government to introduce law requiring porn sites to obtain proof that users are over 18
 

Stop giving credit cards to people under 18. Solved! if only..

Why would the credit card companies do that?

If the proof can be a webcam snapshot...

I smell opportunities for a site selling masks or makeup that makes you look older.

I thought they'd solved "that" problem with mandatory filtering?

So which sites would this effect?
I don't know of any UK based hardcore porn sites.

It'll probably affect our .co.uk domain as well as any other affiliate pushing hardcore on a co.uk domain.

its not uk porn sites. its ALL porn sites

such as porn tubes, blogs, and could even be twitter.

The article didn't say that, it said

Yeah, you need to remember the OP is painfully stupid though.

free porn for teens delivered by the forklift-load for free by tubes was never going to last forever anyway...only a matter of time before this gets regulated too....

Yes

but you must remember that atvod are looking at brining such as youtube and other non uk sites into regulations.

atvod already has uk sites set up so if you run a pay site you have to register and pay a fee.

so if it was only uk sites then would not need to do anything extra.

so clearly this will be targeted at non uk sites.

it will be nonsense for the uk to block only uk porn sites.

atvod has stated that any site you can access in the uk becomes uk law.
