    I for one cannot wait for the hacking of servers used by these websites that will allow for the blackmail of politicians.

    It’s like the UK government is trying to get Chinese level content restriction without openly admitting it…

    There’s a lot more in that bill than just “protect little Timmy from the big bad titties”. It also gives a duty to “protect” users from, and allow reporting of, “illegal content”, and remember folks, whats legal today may well be illegal tomorrow!

    The Conservatives come up with these “think about the children!!” porn things all the time, make headlines that their retiree voter-base loves, then silently drop the proposed changes because even they know it’s unworkable and idiotic. It’s like clockwork.

    I’m not gonna lie, I learned some of my best moves by hitting that “Sure, I’m 18” button back in the day. Or I pirated it. And for previous generations, can you imagine age-blocking a box of porn in the woods?

    Kids will find a way around this.

    I’m not saying all of it is healthy but it doesn’t necessitate a complete lockdown.

      Ah yes, learning moves from porn. Like, we all know women love the finger fish hook in the mouth thing, the violent rubbing of the clit (until she has to physically move your hand away), the slapping of the face, the cock down the throat until she gags and phlegm comes out her nose etc etc.

      I’m exaggerating, but still. Porn is not sex ed. Be careful with what you learn.

      And I agree, the measures to prevent kids from seeing porn all seem very privacy invading and ineffective. Maybe education is the solution, but even the idea of talking to kids about sex seem to make people’s heads explode for some reason.

        Good sex as a whole is about experimenting, learning, respect, and, most importantly, consent. I personally wouldn’t have learned how to be a bit creative without some help from porn.

        Tips and tricks can lead to more fulfilling relationships.

          Of course you can learn things from porn. But you have to know what you’re dealing with first or else it’d be like learning physics from a Marvel movie.

            That’s why early age sex education is equally important. Porn isn’t going away. Being proactive and teaching that there are ground rules to consent and that “no means no” is huge.

            There should always be a clear line between experimentation and outright molestation and that’s what modern sex ed should be emphasizing.

            “Do you mind if we try this?” or “I saw this in a porno, can we try it?” should be normalized just as much as “When were you last tested?” or the simple “Are you ok with this? We’re about to have sex, right?”

            *Molestation might not the right word. I struggled to come up with one. I’m settling on non-consent unless someone can come up with a better term.

    I think this might end up doing some good. Google unveils save-your-face-to-view-porn-inator, and some whiz kid somewhere will figure out a way to either bypass or fuck up facial recognition.

    It being a bad idea aside, couldn’t teens just show the camera any picture of an adult? Supposedly the system doesn’t save the photo anywhere, so how would it know?

    How are they going to stop someone bypassing it by just holding up a photo of someone older? Like cameras can’t tell the difference between 2d and 3d.

    Imagine getting carded by your phones AI (random person on task rabbit) because you look to young to look at porn.
