UK age checks will lead to kids going to the Dark Web

There is a webmaster here who advised the British government on how to implement age check legislation. Didn't he see this coming?

Warning that age-checks on porn sites risks pushing children to dark web

Quote:
Children could be pushed towards extreme pornography and criminal gangs by age-checks on adult websites, an impact assessment into Government plans has revealed.

From May people visiting explicit sites will have to prove they are 18 by completing age verification checks in a bid to protect children from harmful content.

But a report by officials has warned that the changes could have the opposite effect and instead push youngsters onto the dark web, a hiding-place for criminal gangs.
