#2This is useless as the Brit will just use VPN's/Tor or anything else connected to US servers where the main language interface will be 100% the same. This will just give free money to US services and probably generate a big hole in the UK economy. I remind you all that porn does far more money than tons of services. They were pioneers on online commerce with credit cards.
People can tell otherwise, but these services are widely used by the population in disguise, from both women and men.

#3The historical data is that porn usage is inversely correlated with sexual violence: the countries with more access to porn have less rapes.

If I had to guess at a reason, it is presumably because cohorts of socially undeveloped adult men are sexually sedated by porn and are less motivated to rape.

I'm not a psychologist but some of these extrapolations seem insane to me.
> Using Czech police records, American and Czech researchers compared rape rates in the Czech Republic for the 17 years before porn was legalized with rates during the 18 years after. Rapes decreased from 800 a year to 500. More porn, less rape.
> In addition, the legalization of porn was associated with a decrease in another despicable sex crime, child sexual abuse. Under Communism, arrests for child sex abuse averaged 2,000 a year. After porn became legal, the figure dropped by more than half to fewer than 1,000. More porn, fewer sex crimes.
The country's entire foundation shifted from underneath it; an empire collapsed around it. How could they possibly isolate the legalisation of pornography specifically as the cause of decreased rape? Why not the legalisation of private enterprise? Is it not feasible that living in a repressive, controlled, surveilled society caused men unrest?
Perhaps the studies cited went into more detail, but "Lots of rape in 1985, less rape in 2005. Porn was legalised between then, ergo porn caused this." does NOT convince me.

Major correlation/causation overreach here.
Also, if 'sexual sedation' were a premise you'd propose as having some societal-level impact you'd start very quickly getting into other effects, many of which might not be desirable.

It seems more likely that sexual offenses were used as an excuse to arrest and defame political opposition and activists.

Maybe it's for the best. I think new generations are way too passive. We've been trained to live our lives passively and vicariously... Engaging in the cheapest possible alternatives to various life experiences, quantity over quality.

#9Just means more VPNs are being used to bypass this stupid piece of legislation.

Do you suggest that there are not enough sexual assaults with this statement?
