UK newsagents to sell ‘porn passes’ to visit X-rated websites

Who decides what is or isn&#x27;t an X-rated website? Are the authorities going to block tumblr or twitter because of all the porn on there? If not then what is the purpose of this law?<p>How are websites going to get blocked? DNS filtering? Asking the sites operators to block all traffic from the UK by default?

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?

&quot;Some 56 per cent of British adults admitted to watching pornography in a 2014 study carried out by The Observer.&quot; Looks like 44% of British adults are liars.

Can someone explain to me, what exactly is wrong with the UK? Where did it all go so wrong?

Nicely done. Next step, remove cash to trace all the porn pass purchases. Although I suspect most people don&#x27;t even care and will use their debit card already.

How long will the 16 digit code last for? How truly anonymous are those codes? If my code is leaked will it be possible to view all of my porn viewing activity?<p>Why is reporting on this so terrible? I actually don&#x27;t have a problem with requiring age restrictions on certain content online I just have no confidence that it will be implemented securely and anonymously when there are no competent journalists to hold politicians to a high standard.

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.blocked.org.uk&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.blocked.org.uk&#x2F;</a> lists blocked sites and can test URLs of your choice on most(all?) of the major ISPs.

Is not it better to block access to porn sites by parents&#x27; request? So that people without children don&#x27;t have to bother.<p>Also there are many things that affect children much worse than online porn. For example, if a single woman is raising a child there is high probability that every weekend she comes home drunk with some unfamiliar poorly educated low cultured drunk man. The child has to listen to their drunk talking. This kid will probably soon become alcohol or drug addict or even a criminal. Porn obviously won&#x27;t do so much harm.<p>So my suggestion is to ban drinking and inviting men home for single mothers before you ban porn. Or maybe ban alcohol for everyone who has children.

I&#x27;m really wondering why anyone thinks that this will do anything more than disadvantaging local business while sending traffic elsewhere.

MPs have only voted in favour of this due to extensive lobbying and under-the-table payments from the major VPN providers.

It&#x27;s a good thing that this scheme is 100% secure against someone reselling these online for bitcoin.
