Age verification law Pased in the UK !
 

Get ready :2 cents::pimp

It will be interesting to see how this works and if it does if other countries adopt similar measures.

Germany did the same long time ago. Maybe some german webmasters here can tell how that worked.

In short words:
In Germany we have FSK16 and FSK18.
FSK16 is something like a "little erotic" (boobs, ass) but NO pussy, hardcore and/or sexual intercourse. You are allowed to see that stuff when you are at least 16 years old.

FSK18 includes FSK16 and hardcore stuff. Sex, pussy, blowjob... You name it. You have to be 18 to view that kind of material.

As long the website is registered with a de-domain, you have to use an AVS, to promote hardcore stuff.

Because of that, you don't find any porn tubes with a de-domain.

There goes that

Did Germany block access to porn sites that didn't obey it's laws?

Germany wouldn't be there in the top 10 if they did..

Isn't the difference with the UK law is that it allows the UK to block access to porn sites who don't comply?

Calm Down. Is a long way for it!

My question - how much of pornhub's traffic is through a proxy or VPN?

Nope. No foreign sites are blocked in Germany.
Free (porn) speech still works here 🤘🏻

Who has the job of looking at all porn sites to know what to block for the UK?

What about foodporn? Nice food or people doing porn with food.

They are in a fantasy if they think they can ban all sites.

Don't proxies or VPNs just shift an IP to a different country?

They do but my point being is that many people (including minors who tend to be more savvy than adults with computer technology) use VPN's for browsing porn which obviously makes a mockery of this whole verification topic.

so it´s not exactly the same thing. in Britain, there´s already the bbfc, 18, r18 however, there´s plans to block those who do not comply with age verification to all dot coms, not just .uk like you´ve mentioned for the .de

pornhub would and will be banned if they´re not complying as any other tube, however, this can be a good thing...

if a surfer has to update details on a tube, the possibility of purchasing or at least surfing tours to paid sites :2 cents:

Yepp, it's a little bit different than in the UK.
I agree with your thoughts about this.

That sounds good, because the big guys will be blocked and small time sites can slip through (in case there is no auto censorship based on porn words)

actually they did 2 or 3 times but had to re-open again because this is ALSO against the law.

I'm never ready :( . . .

Good luck policing the porn genre. :1orglaugh

Maybe this is the reason so many social media sites are shutting porn posts down.

It makes the government appear to be doing something. :Oh crap

one step at a time :Graucho
