Why shouldn't it be? Some people's entire sex life is pornography are you going to deny them a right to a sex life
It's about control. The uk government literally has a police force dedicated to arresting people that writes mean words.

That's not true. What they did in effect was to say that the internet is a public place. So if you threaten to kill or hurt people then it's just as illegal to say that on the internet as it is to say it to a persons face. The law is primarily aimed at terrorists.

The UK government meant well with the online safety act. They wanted to stop harm coming to children. Porn, grooming, things like that. The problem is that they don't really understand the internet and have not much clue how to go about it. What they have come up with is going to create more trouble that it solves. It not only affects porn, it will also affect platforms like Steam that sells porn games. But the truth is that one small country is not really in a position to unilaterally take on the giants of the internet. It will be interesting to see what happens, but no one apart from the UK government thinks this will go well...

Most people would willingly quit masturbation if it meant creating an account on a porn website.

Funny considering they are guilty of two-tier policing. Or do you deny that as well?

Not really news this has been brewing for ages and we warned you of it for most of last year and the year before.

People supported it, and so it is law. It's all part of the online safety act'

Prepare for more restrictions/monitoring over time. You didn't care when we warned you, so you shouldn't care now either.

It is not enforced right now and they have tried it multiple times before, failing

All my GOP friends are complaining about Tennessee's age enforcement law that just went into effect. And the candidates weren't quite about their intentions.

Regulating porn like casinos are regulated is okay, however going the ID way is foolish and a big web security risk. Identity theft among other crimes could get more common, if said databases are hacked, which is not a matter of IF but rather WHEN.

Don't access it then.

Very simple.

Mass porn consumption has done untold damage to young people and there are numerous studies that support this.

Just think back in the day as a 90s kid we used to think EuroTrash and Emmanuelle on Channel 4 & 5 was worth staying up for!

Society has changed for the worse and many of you simply will never understand how or why.

Yes i'm fairly aware that the porn industry has been harmful like the tobacco industry was back then (and well nowadays is still very harmful, but the general public is far more aware of it, thankfully). I'm just saying that there's a more smart and future proof way of regulating the porn industry sector.

Going brute force as in full ban only creates a black market, remember the USA govt attempt at banning alcohol? That isn't going to end well.
The idea of ID's to access said sties, just gives hackers an easy profitable target to steal data from, which in turn other criminals can use for other purposes such as identity theft, scams, social engineering to steal data from companies or govts agencies, blackmail, etc.
