The UK is about to make it harder to watch porn
2019-03-06
[NYPOST] Free porn fans in Britain are about to get carded.

Beginning early next month, X-rated sites like PornHub and YouPorn will be required to obtain birthday information from UK residents before they can view smut by using an online age verification system, or buying a special ID card, according to The Metro.

“When a user first visits a site protected by AgeID, a landing page will appear with a prompt for the user to verify their age before they can access the site,” AgeID spokesman James Clark told the outlet.

“Each website will create their own non-pornographic landing page for this purpose,” he added.

When users first visit a site, they will have to create an AgeID account using a credit card, passport or driver’s license.

#1  First they start with p0rn, proof the technology, then anything else the state doesn't want communicated. Not to mention tracking everyone.

The free press is about the open flow of information, good or bad, but the flow. It's not about the corrupt institution that calls itself the 'press' which suppresses, obstructs, manufacturers and manipulates the flow of information.

The state wants control of everything. "Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state"
