The most likely solution is that you will need to verify your age and identity by giving out credit card details to the site

For Pornhub there are times when I click on a video I get spammed with those fake game bait and switch links. I'm not saying Pornhub is a dangerous site to have your credit card info on, but I wouldn't trust any site which have bait and switch ads. Do to those types of ads I think it's a bad idea to have your information like that on. The UK government should just leave it to the "check the box" for your age rather than forcing people to post their information on a site which could be a trap.

It is an ISP block, so you will provide your credit card info only to your ISP. So, for example, you trying to access the age restricted site, your provider pops up the page "You are trying to access age restricted site" with field where you are entering your credit card number, then ISP checks if your credit card number is in bank database. If it is there, you'll be then redirected to the page you need, otherwise it pops up an error.

I don't think that's true at all. Details are currently not yet final, but it's the sites themselves that require the verification.

Just more nonsense from everyone's favorite nanny state...

Y'all dudes really gotta clean out your government sometime.

It`s not their original idea, FCC tried to cancel net neutrality not a long time ago.

This is a different issue from net neutrality, although that is probably going to pop back up soon. Currently, net neutrality is mandated by EU law and therefore formally in place in the UK as well. Whether this stays the same post Brexit however remains to be seen.

Porn ID checks set to start in April 2018 - BBC

A nine-month countdown to the introduction of compulsory age checks on online pornography seen from the UK has begun. The April 2018 goal to protect under-18s was revealed as digital minister Matt Hancock signed the commencement order for the Digital Economy Act, which introduces the requirement. But details as to how the scheme will work have yet to be finalised. Experts who advised ministers said the targeted date seemed "unrealistic". The act also sets out other new laws including punishing the use of bots to snatch up scores of concert tickets, and mandating the provision of subtitles on catch-up TV.

Credit cards

The age-check requirement applies to any website or other online platform that provides pornography "on a commercial basis" to people in the UK. It allows a regulator to fine any business that refuses to comply and to ask third-party payment services to withdraw support. The watchdog will also be able to force internet providers to block access to non-compliant services. Ministers have suggested one of several ways this might work would be for pornographic sites to demand credit card details before providing any access, since in the UK consumers typically have to be over 18 to have a card of their own.

But the specifics are being left to the as-yet unappointed regulator to determine. While it has been proposed that the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) will assume this role, a spokesman for the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport said the appointment would not be formalised until the autumn. "We are already working closely with DCMS to ensure the effective implementation of the act," a spokeswoman for the BBFC told the BBC, but added that it was too early to say more about what guidance it might issue.

'Premature date'

The measure has been welcomed by child protection charities including Childnet. "Protecting children from exposure, including accidental exposure, to adult content is incredibly important, given the effect it can have on young people," said its chief executive Will Gardner. "Steps like this help restrict access." Mindgeek, which operates several of the world's most popular porn sites, has also previously indicated support.

But two experts who advised the government on its plans have expressed reservations about both how quickly the scheme is being rolled out and its wider implications. "It seems to me to be a very premature date," commented Dr Victoria Nash, lead author of a report commissioned in the run-up to the law being drafted. "The idea you can get a regulatory body up and running in that timeframe seems extraordinary to me. "And while I don't have a problem with asking these companies to act responsibly, I don't see it as a solution to stopping minors seeing pornography." This, she explained, was because the act does not tackle the fact that services including Twitter and Tumblr contain hardcore pornography but will not be required to introduce age-checks. Nor, she added, would teens be prevented from sharing copied photos and clips among themselves. "It may make it harder for children to stumble across pornography, especially in the younger age range, but it will do nothing to stop determined teenagers," Dr Nash concluded.

One cyber-security expert on the same advisory panel was more critical. "The timeline is unrealistic - but beyond that, this is one of the worst proposals I have seen on digital strategy," said Dr Joss Wright from the Oxford Internet Institute.
"There are hundreds of thousands of websites where this material can be accessed and you are not going to catch all of those. "There's privacy issues - you're requiring people to effectively announce the fact they are looking at this material to the credit card authorities. "And there's serious security issues from requiring people to enter their credit card details into untrusted sites. "They may well say there will be other magical ways to do the age check, but I very much doubt they will be non-discriminatory [against adults without credit cards], transparent, privacy-preserving and secure for end-users."

Several reasons. One that hasn't been mentioned yet is the availability of arms. If you're a police officer in a country that has more privately owned guns in it than people, you're trained to just about expect the worst in any situation. Pulling over a car with a pinged plate, breaking up a confrontation, called for a domestic dispute or possible break in? Odds are someone's going to have a gun. 60 something policemen shot dead while on duty in 2016 alone. That's more than one a week. They're trained to prepare for stuff like this.

Of course, should the government ever turn against us, the ability to kill police will be vital.

That's highly doubtful.

Except for the all the time it happens literally all over the world.

We're not talking about all over the world though.

The thing with Trump is that he just keeps doing so many things wrong and continues to say so much shit that is painfully uninformed or so blatantly false that it's just apathy kicking in. You could dedicate several threads every single day to the crap he does, but it just grows old. What would be a major scandal for any other politician is just confirmation for many that he really is incompetent and clueless, and those who blindly support him will continue to shrug it all of because "her emails" or "fake news".

But that's only part of it. We all know each other well and many discussions have just become predictable at this point.

That being said, I'm going to make an effort to revive this board. One serious thread a day on topics of interest.

Another one. This one had a giant vintage porn pic embedded in the post.

real talk why are they russian bots specifically?

The cyber laws in Russia only pertain to Russian citizens. Russians can fuck with non-Russians all they want and suffer no penalties. That's why most of the malware and scam shit comes from Russia.

Pretty sure that's not at all true. Russian law enforcement just doesn't give a shit about hackers, especially when they're targeting people or countries outside of the country. To my knowledge, the laws will apply just the same though.

How many episodes of Bebop did you get through? I didn't make it past 2 or 3.

I saw one episode and it barely held my attention.

Verb's 5 is definitely overstating it.

Russian bots. They try to post, but we stop them from doing so. They just spam walls of text filled with random buzzwords and links to shady sites. Usually they're about porn, buying prescription drugs online, writing essays and shit like that. Some are quite funny when they try to translate them to English, but we can't really approve them or they might lose their shit and spam the entire forum.

Hey brato, let read. I want laff too.

Do you want to Agrr-pee?

I'll post one the next time a funny thread comes around. They are usually just like the one LC posted though. If they're even in English, they are barely coherent and just contain dozens of random buzzwords.

Off topic: I was called a Trumpy today.

Did I lose at life?

Supporting Trump is objectively and demonstrably a moral and intellectual failure, but more details are required to determine whether or not this person erred in calling you a Trumpy.

It was about that (those girls?) girl that wore a miniskirt in Saudi Arabia and they were released without charge from police. I said that they will probably be acid attacked. People corrected me saying that this wasn't London. I got the meme and corrected myself - she will probably get gang-raped and then honour-killed by her father for having sex before marriage.
"Cool down there, Trumpy."

My official verdict is that while you didn't go full Trumpy, I would recommend you say at least 3 "I stand with her" shants before bed tonight.
