UK Porn Is About to Change in a Way You're Not Going to Like

How the government has given the shady company that controls the majority of free porn tube sites carte blanche to take over completely.

At 15:03 on the 1st of March, 2017, a senior representative from MindGeek ? the most powerful porn empire in history ? sent the British government an email.

"I?m sure Matt Hancock [minister for digital policy] is not in the business of inviting pornographers for a chat," he schmoozed. "But if it?s ever useful for me to talk to him directly (without stepping on anyone?s toes!), as a representative of the largest adult content provider in the world, I?d be more than happy to discuss any issues directly with him but also show our support for what I hope will be an effective bill! [smiley face]."

It was one of a string of emails ? revealed by a Freedom of Information request ? sent between MindGeek and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport through the winter of last year; one link in a chain of events that?s about to change the way Britain watches porn forever.

This, though, is not a story about porn. It is about power. It?s about how quickly state and corporate interests can climb into bed together. Campaigners claim the government, in a vote-winning attempt to protect children from hardcore content, are in fact about to hand what is already the world?s most powerful pornographer a monopoly over online porn...

"Rather than come up with a technology of their own, they promise to use 'anything that works' from the list of AV technologies, and will bundle it up in an easy-to-use interface which porn sites can buy as a service."

So basically MindGeek's AgeID is pretty much what IPSP's (CCBill, Epoch, etc.) do by offering potential subscribers multiple payment options?

Hate MG or like 'em, what they're doing by offering all the ID verification services via one interface is a good idea and it sounds like they're just emulating what billing providers have already been doing. It also sounds like something other companies including these same billing providers can copy rather easily.

That is a terrible piece of journalism fed to Wired by a fat old failed Lawyer called Myles Jackman.

Jackman is only interested in raising his own profile, and MindGeek are only doing what smart entrepreneurs do when an opportunity presents iteself.

Absolutely anyone can set themselves up in this brand new market - my motto has always been “regulation breeds opportunity” - we are already profiting from AV in the UK, go with the flow and as they say, make bank.

It seems just like yesterday I was told that AVS sites had to close because they where illegal - Now it's illegal NOT to have one - It's a fucked up world...

NatalieK · 11-24-2017, 04:15 PM

at what point has the UK government replied?

I read "a string of emails" this from mindgeek, nothing stated about meeting from Britain.

Not sure what anyone´s problem is...

you have a problem with this, send an email & see if you get to meet Matt Hancock. If not, shut up and back out.

Seems to me, Mindgeek are trying to keep porn alive in the UK, it doesn´t mean it´s going to be controlled by MG, the government´s not even replied

Are you taking about your pilgrims? You'd better do some research as to why they left Blighty then.
