Here in Germany some songs on the radio are censored (anything to do with sex and drugs) in the most cringey way possible. Songs just usually go quiet wherever  there are 'swear words' or the word is masked somehow.

 

In Macklemore's 'Thrift Shop' for example, a rooster can be heard instead of Macklemore singing 'waddup, I got a bick c*ck'. And that's one of the better executed examples...

What’s the point of censoring radio when people listen to Spotify / Apple Music etc now.

Because the idiots who make the rules still listen to the radio so they think everyone else does too...

While I personally disagree with the proliferation of porn, and think age rules are an appropriate way to handle it (much like is done with other items), this is also the stupidest law I think I've seen in a long time.  Not only is it region specific, so VPNs will make it not matter, but sites like that generally have already had age verifications (and are required to in the US), and the whole "porn pass" thing is retarded, as somebody will just decide they can make money selling to folks who aren't, or an adult buying valid from someplace and "forgetting it on the counter" someplace for a minor to thank them with a monetary donation.

 

Also…who the hell would upload a real ID to someplace to remove all anonymity and privacy for porn?  You're going to trust a random porn company to keep everything for ID theft perfectly secure and private?  LOL

Stupid people create stupid laws. Don't vote for stupid people into office!

Age check never works, not just for adult sites, but for gaming sites too. One can just make up a fake date of birth and they're in.

That nothing new really.

 

Radios been bleeping or covering swear words for years even decades.  The act of censoring out sexual lyrics and themes dates back to even jukebox era.

Hilarious how upset people get about some naked people on a screen. We were all born naked. And all of us were at some point conceived by two naked people DOING IT!

 

I didn't realize the UK was so puritan.

 

Meanwhile, there are no legally enforced age checks for little Timmy who is playing video games shooting the heads off other people online.

And the count-down until an inevitable scandal involving the leaking of the government's porn-pass and porn-viewing records begins.

 

 

Department In Charge Of Data Protection Just Broke Its Own Rules In An Email About Porn

Or, that's the point?

 

People need to remember that George Orwell (Eric Blair) was British and wrote 1984 as a warning for what they were going to do. At this point, does anything think he was honestly wrong about the thoughts of the Elites in the UK? The anti-sex league isn't too far off, haha.

Anyone know if Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Imgur or any of the other major sites will get hit? Because that's when things get really funny.

 

Though, can't you just move your DNS to a non-UK-based one and just get around the entire problem? Otherwise the ISP would need to verify every website on the Internet, and I doubt that's going to happen.

Torrent sites are already blocked here and ISPs will cut users Internet off if they download pirated content.

I had a friend who was sharing a homebrew game he wrote through a torrent (completely legit, it was code he had created and owned the rights to). His internet was disconnected by his ISP Sky, as "torrenting in any form is promoting and enabling piracy." - Because heaven forbid anyone wants to share opensource code using torrents

We in the Western World need a serious revolution in our individual countries. Our governments no longer accurately represent either side of their respective constituency.

I'm pretty sure that wouldn't stand up in court.

 

As an aside. For those outside the UK who are chuckling at the Brexit mess. The Key thing you've got to understand however is that no one in any major power position at the time of the referendum expected the leave camp to get more than a very modest vote. The fact that they actually won has caught them all out for the most part which is leaving a predominantly remain centric parliament with the job of carrying through the actual details of brexit and more than a few just want to outright block it any way they can, and the rest are pretty much struggling with the conflict between  what they want and what they're supposed to be doing which is making them ineffective. In particular i'm left with the distinct impression that there are two or three broad groups within parliament each of which want somthing from the EU that fundamentally the EU is going to say no to. Personally i think the EU forcing a no deal is the only thing thats going to break the logjam because then there won't be anything to argue about.
