Minister Bruton says 'porn block' law needs to be considered, but says privacy issues also a concern

COMMUNICATIONS MINiSTER RICHARD BRUTON has said “there is a valid concern there” in relation to the regulation of commercial adult porn sites.

As part of legislation passed in the UK in 2017, pornography sites will be expected, from 15 July, to have a robust age-verification system in place to ensure its UK users are over 18. When asked about the issue today, Bruton said “there are also issues around privacy laws and this has to be carefully dealt with”.

Options being put forward in the UK include requiring adult users to buy a special card over the counter at a newsagents, where they will be asked to show photo ID to verify their age. The card will have a code on it that can be used to access the site.

Consider it. Reject it. It's stupid.

It's up to parents and guardians to police interet access. Not the state's. State can't house people or run hospitals but they can protect children? Nope

We're already a police state without this.. How about you shams, actually do something worthwhile for our society, instead of all these distractions
