New law to compel adults in UK to buy codes to view porn sites!

The legislation is part of a move to control underage porn viewers

Newsroom May 21 03:14

New age verification laws that are introduced in Britain this year will require viewers to prove they are not underage.

Adults who want to watch online porn will be able to buy codes from newsagents proving they are over 18.
One option available to the estimated 25million Britons who regularly visit such websites will be a 16-digit code – or ‘porn pass’.
The move is part of new legislation to prevent children accessing online porn.
The new rules were due to roll out in April but the Government has delayed them to ensure any system introduced in workable.

Britain’s film censor, the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), has carried out a public consultation on how to go around enforcing the proof of age process.
While porn viewers will still be able to verify their age using methods such as registering credit card details, the 16-digit code option would be a fully anonymous option.
The cards will cost around £10 and could can also be used to purchase other age restricted products such as alcohol and knives.
However, shopkeepers could still ask to see documents, such as a passport or driving licence, before selling the 16-digit online access code.
