Tricky one, on the one hand of course we should block access to under age kids but surely this opens the gate to the purveyors to make use of personal data as they see fit.

I like to view a bit of porn every now and then.
Don't see whats wrong with it?

[ToraToraTora]

are you happy to leave your name and address and age verification with a porn purveyor?

[Baldric]

Why do you need to watch Porn, what's wrong with your life?

//are you happy to leave your name and address and age verification with a porn purveyor? //

No!
That would be a problem...
Just saying that I enjoy enjoy a bit of slap and tickle every now and then ;-)

[nailit]

But to answer 3T's question,
just another step towards Big brother...

[ToraToraTora]

so what happened to "don't see what's wrong with it"?

Nothing wrong with a bit of adult material on the internet, but as you say, it could become a blackmailers charter.
Tricky one!!

I cant be the only male on AB that likes (or admits to) watching internet porn...

(or perhaps I can)
Im a man, I watch porn, I like it,...

nailit......relax.

I have watched porn, my friends (male but occasionally female) have watched porn, my four sons have watched porn and i consider watching porn is part of the growing up process for boys.
Watching porn is a phase that almost every male goes through at some time in his life.....it is the norm.

//nailit......relax.//
Eh?
I am relaxed.
Just don't get this obsession with porn.
Men like, watch and view porn. End of!

"But surely this opens the gate to the purveyors to make use of personal data as they see fit" I don't see why. The Data Protection act enforces the use of data whatever the company/site so I don`t really see why data should be any less safe than on any other site.

237sj - seriously?

[237SJ]

Yes

Surely everyone just gets a VPN and no demanding of personal data.

Suspect your right arm muscles are huge Gully, that or you havnt found it yet.

But back to the OP. This was ill thought out and doomed from the start, ignoring the fact that the young are tech savvy and will work their way round it in hours expecting people to give up their personal details to these sites is crazy.

Many are not in the UK, GDPR will mean jack to them. Data will be harvested and sold, data will be stolen and used for blackmail or to bring someone down (like a politician).

They need to think again.

As an idea it's hard to beat.

[youngmafbog]

Depends what you are beating Douglas!

[Spicerack]

Another stroke of genius from the ptb.
