“We’re very used to proving our age in lots of different areas of life at the moment, and it makes sense that we do so more assertively when it comes to online activity,” he said.
“I think people actually think it’s pretty weird that you are age checked when you want to buy a can of Monster, but you’re not age checked when you access certain material online.”
No one that is sane thinks that is weird, peter. No one. If anything they think the new age verification is weird.
Chris Sherwood, chief executive of children’s charity the NSPCC, said Friday’s new rules mean services “can no longer evade their duty for protecting children”.
It is NOT THE SERVICE’S DUTY TO PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN. IT’S THE PARENTS’!
Derek Ray-Hill, interim head of the Internet Watch Foundation, meanwhile welcomed the new rules for sites allowing porn but said “there is still more to be done”.
But of course there is. Derek wants to know everything about your kinks when you log in.
Many of the sites which operate age verification services say they do not retain ID, videos or images required for them to carry out age checks for any longer than necessary.
Which can mean six fucking months for all we know.
Anyway, I welcome the age of paper porn and VPNs in The UK.
