Did they come up with a workable method?

How will all porn be put behind a paywall and will that be enough for Cameron?

I'm 100% in favour of putting all porn behind a paywall. The boost to all of our incomes would be huge, to the level few here have ever experienced. The problem is it's impossible. All the UK can do is impose fines that will never be paid or prison sentences never served.

Will Putin sign up to this law, extradite Russians to the UK if they run a free porn site? So the next level would be to block all sites containing porn, Twitter, Google, blogs, social media, Vimeo, YT, FB, and all the free tubes that replace MG when it puts restrictions on its sites. Of course I'm using the porn definition of anything more than a Page 3 Girl.

Which poses another problem. A Government deciding what you can or cannot view. Open leg, Pink, finger/toy penetration, erect penis, straight sex, or ??????

It will be up to a Government-appointed Quango to decide. Like the BBFC, ATVOD. So forget about the freedom you have now. Read up on what the BBFC bans from R18, a very regulated form of porn licence. Jack Straw tried to ban R18, so don't expect the line to be fixed forever.

What is amusing is seeing the way some respond. Big Brother shouts boo and all the mice run.
