You will be required to produce your National ID card
to be recorded onto a Watch List if you want to view any seditious Mike Leigh or Ken Loach films.
Peers have rubber-stamped the British Board of Film Classification as the regulator for age checks on porn websites, but voiced concerns over delays in issuing guidance. The government's Digital Economy Act requires that spank-viewing UK residents prove they are 18 or over, and it has proposed the BBFC as gatekeeper. In the …
You are asking questions citizen. That is sedition. You should not be thinking, that is dangerous.
Next thing you will start thinking on why is Robert Mueller investigating certain Cambridge Analytica communications and how does this relate to the fact that they donated 3m+ of goods and services at zero value to the leave campaign. Even more dangerous - you may start thinking on why is UK media not reporting it and we end up learning about it from US senators making a hash out of talking to the media about the Nunnes storm in a teacup.
Such ability to think shall not be allowed. I suggest you introduce yourself to the location of Lark Hill. You will be relocated there shortly.
"why is Robert Mueller investigating certain Cambridge Analytica communications"
Presumably more due to their possible involvement in the US elections, rather than brexit, and the UK media has reported on them.
There's over 600 MPs who all want different things, a lot of which involve embarrassing other MPs, so talking about the government like it's one monolithic entity is rather simplifying the situation.

Not on the subject that they have ended up within the scope of the Russian Involvement inquiry and some of their communications are being looked into.
"why is Robert Mueller investigating certain Cambridge Analytica communications"
Correct. However, it is quite interesting that the UK media has not picked up this particular angle - the Mueller + Analitica one. In fact, prior to one of the US congressmen dropping this by mistake in the exchanges around the Nunnes memo this was not reported ANYWHERE.
There is an odd cyclical thinking in the BBFC reasoning.
1) Material must be reviewed and censored to prevent people from being corrupted and depraved by the material.
2) BBFC employs people to review material for content that would deprave and corrupt.
3) If this material can deprave and corrupt then the censors must be corrupted and depraved through constant watching, if not then it cannot be corrupting material.
Conclusion: The BBFC censors are all a bit pervy and they are telling us what is normal?????
Well, if I was cynic I would say that is the idea.
First think of the children: proof of identity.
Then give it one or two years.. and then ban IVPNs that do not give all the data to the government "for safety reason, think of the children..."
"I'm Fred Bloggs, and I'm 42"
"OK, how do I know you're really Fred and not his 15 year old son"
"Trust me, this is Fred"
This will last about a week before age verification credentials get posted to a FacePalm page. It needs 2FA or it's pointless, which means it's not anonymous..
should. How? Credit card? Well, this data goes SOMEWHERE. I bet we'll see, within the next 2 years, a "leaked report" that a database of 357 milion credit and debit card details used by the Fcukboard to verify porn age, but not identity, has been exposed (in cleartext, what else) on the fcukboard website dontlookhere.html, and the fcukboard is going to issue the following statement: "Privacy of personal data is our primary concern and as a responsible data handler, we would like to stress, we take privacy with utmost care, etc."
p.s. time to verify age for tor browser users, because, sooner than later, my kids will want to know what it's for (no no no, it's NOT for you to access all the stuff that our democratically elected leaders consider off-limits, including tits and bits, no, definitely NOT just to access all the stuff that our democratically elected leaders consider off-limits, including tits and bits.
A good question might be whether they consider society owes them anything, or whether effort is equated with reward in the workplace. You can further refine your search by asking if they have a pension, their own home, or have just took a payday loan for a night out drinking craft beers.
Also ask if they own, or know the function of, a pair of socks.
"Ashton attempted to address such concerns about privacy by stressing that the government "absolutely agree" that the arrangements should only verify age, not identity."
And how exactly do you prove your age without also providing your identity to check it against?
If i say i'm over 18 how do you know unless you know who I am?
Sincerely: a VPN user
Can someone outline to me if this age check has to be implemented by all prawn sites in the entire world, or just the ones being hosted in the UK?
If the former, do they then plan to block all sites in the UK that don't have a UK authorised age check?
Good luck with that. Seriously. Most people who use the internet don't really have a clue about how it works etc., some people who like to avoid regional locking have clued up and know how to bypass it, but if we wanted the *entire* wanking population of the UK to become VPN experts in as short a time as possible I can think of no better way.
Bring it on I say.
Two years after implementation GCHQ are going to go fucking nuts that 90% of all internet traffic has suddenly become opaque and they will have no-one else to blame but themselves*.
*It seems like this was predicted once before, and they complain enough about encryption already. Just wait until it's as common as email addresses twitter accounts. Hint: In 1995 I was telling my friends and family that pretty soon you wouldn't be able to do business unless you had a web site etc. - at the time they didn't even know what one was. Ok so that was ~23 years ago, but things become common knowledge when there is a common usage for something, and bypassing porn filters will create such a scenario.
I recommend VPN, Tor, encryption, PGP on emails etc, etc. use when possible to family & friends even though (hopefully!) they are doing nothing nefarious.
Just because it's useful in giving a bit better privacy than the default (none) as even if you think you have "nothing to hide" you don't necessarily want to wave everything around willy nilly to all and sundry - and who knows what may suddenly become "illegal / terrorist" when previously it was just free speech comment .
