So do we now look forward to teenagers hanging around newsagents asking people to get them a porn pass along with the beer and fags?

Oh, and wasn't the verification supposed to be free? So now are we supposed to either risk our credentials being stolen or pay to view free website content?

Hah.

If you want to raise a generation of people capable of hiding their online activity more effectively trying to get between a teenager and smut is basically the way to do it.

I'm pretty sure that VPN's and Tor will explode in popularity if they ever manage to enforce this in any way beyond the most silly methods.

Also hello escalating arms race.

Why is this response being downvoted? I don't actually know very much about the situation so I really don't have the tools to evaluate what is wrong (or right) with this comment.

Imagine you elected Hilary Clinton to carry out Donald Trumps policies.

That's what Theresa May is.

Oh and Bernie Sanders is even more left wing and will probably win the next election.
