The government is pursuing age verification for online porn. It's going to be complicated. Everyone agrees kids shouldn't be able to access porn online. Stopping them is much harder than you might think.
I saw that they weren’t going to go ahead last year, but now apparently there will be a pilot.
Well this is just impossible. The UK tried to do this and failed. Plus I’m not sure how this is going to reduce DV? Is there a problem of kids strangling their partners during sex? Isn’t there a better way to educate them?
Anecdotally there are issues with random non consensual choking etc. But I agree they’re drawing a long bow and this isn’t going to be as effective or feasible as claimed. Implementing this would only cause unintentional (or intentional) consequences.
Even if it did magically work for the stated purpose (which it won’t) it’s focusing far in the future when there’s a serious crisis right now.
