Broadband ISPs would also be required to block sites that fail to comply with the new rules.
Until a couple of days ago the Digital Economy Act 2017 (summary), specifically its plan to force an age-verification system upon commercial websites that predominantly contain pornographic content, had been due to be implemented from next month (April 2018).
The Great Wall of Porn - delayed!
I feel that this attempt to block porn will be the first in a series of blocks to control the Internet.
What is most disturbing about this is that it's a porn company acting like a neutral party with its AgeID system. The last time that happened it led to a disaster, and is the reason age check systems dropped off the landscape.
