The government has said that industry will be responsible to create the verification software, with platforms such as MindGeek’s AgeID cited as one way to verify a user’s age. However, there are concerns about the implications for privacy under such a framework, and The Telegraph reports that the BBFC is suggesting a more anonymous option: their local newsstand. The stores would sell a “porn pass,” a 16-digit code for around £10, and would require a driver’s license or passport to verify the buyer’s age. That method wouldn’t require someone to enter their personal information into an online database. In 2015, the Digital Police Alliance suggested that websites utilize “information already on the books” to carry out these checks, such as post offices or wireless providers.
sounds like a splendid idea. Introduces the old frisson of excitement into the newsagent again, the look over the shoulder, unnecessary purchase (sales up! )and slipping the contraband between the sleeves and you never know kids, might be a reason to root around in park bushes for discarded passes. Sounds like a win all round

brits' criticisms of the US are hereby ruled forever invalid.
can't believe the US based its values on the british system. what a fall from grace.
So since 8ch hosts porn as well as other shit will that mean we no longer have to put up with British retards d&cing us

>taxing (((porn)))-watching retards The money definitely won't go to a good use, but at least it will provide a disincentive for people to watch jewish porn.
Blake King
This is completely unenforceable. The idiots in Parliament are too busy salivating at the thought of invading people's privacy to realise that
John Lee
It's not a tax. They just want your personal information in exchange for the privilege of being able to look at adult material
Kayden Gonzalez
Wait a minute, this makes me wonder… Will imageboards like 4chan, Zig Forums, etc. be barred under british law? Else you can just come here and pretty much watch porn. Better than nothing, right? Or are they blocked in the UK? Fuck.
Noah Wilson
why is ther a comment exactly like this at the actual link ? Is there some bot scraping the comments off websites and copy-pasting them here ?
dood cmon, that's just too desperate
Lucas Fisher
will google search for porn be censored?
Landon Thomas
Hang on. Who actually pays for their porn? Why would anyone ever feel that was necessary? Even if you didn't want to pirate it there's a few hundred Terabytes of free porn out there, including professionally produced stuff.
Austin Flores
Of course. Frogs are halal, right?
Dominic Cook
Exactly, there are decent vpn's out there for £2-£3 a month. Why would I ever pay money to the government or give them my info in what websites I visit willingly.
Cooper Howard
looking at porn isnt a privilage, its a sin
Wyatt Lee
That's great, for real. Porn is poison that fucks up adults, kids shouldn't be anywhere near that shit.
Too bad Britain is probably doing this from some feminist angle instead of actually trying to protect the people from that garbage, but oh well.
