Adults who want to watch porn online in the UK could face based ID -chèques age thanks to a plan proposed by the porn industry, and is fully supported by the Conservative government in a bid to protect children from inappropriate content.
means that the new proposal for watching online pornography in the UK viewers will have to verify that they are 18 years or older by providing personal information before watching online pornography. porn operators in the UK who do not comply risk their site being blocked by a regulator, probably the Authority for Television On Demand (ATVOD.)
it is unclear at the moment whether the sites overseas will require ID age verification based pornography. Chris Ratliff told The Guardian "In international law, I do not understand how anyone can possibly work."
Children in the UK are addicted to online pornography according to a survey by the NSPCC ChildLine which found that "one in five 12 to 13 years think that watching porn is normal behavior." the Conservative government, among many others, hope that the age checks based ID for pornography will help protect children from adult content. However, freedom of expression activist CEO Jerry Barnett Sex & Censorship told Wired that he sees this as "dishonest marketing concocted by the PR firms" and considers the new proposal as more of a sign claiming to "protect children from pornography," when in fact, it is a manipulate idea to introduce Internet censorship. "This should worry anyone who cares about freedom of expression"
he is not alone. Many other critics fear that the United Kingdom aligns to censorship and privacy stringent measures that exist in China. "This censorship is at the forefront. We are becoming global leaders in censorship ... "said Myles Jackman, a lawyer in law of obscenity who spoke to The Guardian recently.
Adults who wish to watch porn online in the UK will be able to prove their age by one of the many ID verification providers based on age, as mobile operators, banks, post office, credit agencies or perhaps even the NHS.
as proposed, an "anonymizing hub" would be used which would confirm the age of a user - any personal identifying information would be stored and that a third party such as a bank or post office does not know the reason for age verification. However, as we know, data breaches occur. the new measure could open the door open to abuse attackers and other unscrupulous third parties? Can we really trust this system? Can we really believe what we're told?
Jerry Barnett, a free speech activist, sees this as another control measure being adopted by the British government. "This is the state once again, to intervene in the private lives of people for nothing more than the good old British prurience and control-freakery reason."
The UK government has worked hard to control pornography in the UK, the prohibition of a number of sexual acts of porn UK-product, the implementation of porn filters that have inadvertently blocked a number of sex education sites.
laws of the United Kingdom are working in mysterious ways, and while it is important to protect our children against inappropriate material, and other online dangers when you are 16 in the UK, you can married (with parental consent), and you can buy a lottery ticket. Males and females 16 and over can have sex (heterosexual or homosexual), with other people over 16. And it is not illegal for children over five years to drink the home or other private places! BUT young adults under 18 years still need to be protected against online pornography
The sex industry has been around for centuries, it is not going anywhere - ?! Unless of course, the UK has its way and identification on the basis of age checks for pornography is made law.
do you think that this proposed age checks based ID for pornography is to protect children against online pornography or about censorship?
