discussion UK is now asking for photo id for "adult" websites?

[trc450]

Texas already tried something like this stateside. Instead of verifying IDs the sites all just blocked IPs from Texas. And there's still thousands of websites out there that just ignore it.

Irony is that overtime sites that do not comply become "harmful sites" and can be blocked legally without effort in mass.

Those sites need content and money going in to stay alive if a country says porn bad then new porn can not be made and the site being blocked will get less revenue aswell as again less content.

Is a revolving door you need traffic to get cash but also content to keep getting new site visits.


Not to mention in the new uk law if a site allows a child to view content even if said kid did it via vpn or some shit that site can get a fine equal to 10% of the yearly revenue of that site. Then of course the site gets taken down drama drama etc etc.

It's either 10% of the yearly revenue or an £18 million fine, whichever is higher.

Even worse is that banning the more obvious and legit sites like pornhub leads people to go to shadier and shadier sites that may actually have harmful content. This whole thing is a mess.

Since we can't talk TOO much politics as per the board rules, I wonder how the history books will see this century.

Assuming they still get to read HISTORY books and not government assigned readings...

No they used tax payer money to get the bill passed then tax payer money so they can get around the bill ha ha

But yeah messed up all around

From what I've been reading, it appears that it will affect all sites (including LewdCorner)

If a child from the UK can access LewdCorner, then LewdCorner can face a fine (up to) 18 Million pound (GBP)
If LewdCorner places a region ban on the UK and a child from the UK uses a VPN to get around the ban, then LewdCorner can still be fined (up to) 18 Million pound (GBP) (even though they took measures to prevent it)

It doesn't matter where the site is hosted, all that matters is whether or not the site can be accessed from the UK.
If a child in the UK can access this website right this very second, then this website can be fined.

Next mass DM: "Hey guys, we need to raise 18 million pound to keep the website going".

24 states in the U.S. passed laws requiring all websites with any pornographic material
that they must require photo ID and that any website that did not do this the states fine them
however many millions of dollars, P-hub just blocked the states altogether, some websites
followed suit and setup ID checkpoints, while other websites said no; and kept their websites
opened.

The UK just like the USA has no jurisdiction in other countries like Japan, China, Germany,
Sweden, Poland etc. They can say you better do what we say or we will bring you before
our courts and our judges will fine you millions of dollars, but it's not going to happen, because
the UK and the USA have no jurisdiction in these countries, they cannot force citizens of other
countries to appear in their courts and fine them. The UK like the USA often talks big to intimidate
people and get them to do as they say, this works on some people, but not everybody is
intimidated with the big bad talk.

I heard Nvidia is also asking for ID verification just to use their app. You need to verify your age to download drivers now.

Anyone who thought this would stop at porn is a fool.

It was fake/misinformation.

The screenshot was from an underaged user from Mexico who wanted access a 18+ game with GeForce NOW.
People jumped the gun, like they always do.

Fair enough. That's why I led with "I heard." Lol.

But the rest of my sentiment stands. It will never stop with what they're calling for. It never does.
