farewell

“Digital Minister Margot James has apologised for the six-month delay on the so-called "porn block", which had been due to take effect on Monday.”

Why are the apologising. No-one cares or wants this “porn block”.

Really? There seems to be some fairly vocal support for some form of age verification from parents of children.

What's scary is that MindGeek (who own a load of the main sites) seem to be developing age verification.

But it's at an ISP level so a whole house would have to be 'unblocked'. It's like a voluntary Great Firewall. Also if you unblock it means your name/address is on a list somewhere as being a porn viewer and a potential victim of extortion/fraud.
