Rejected petition Stop the porn block
The porn block is just censorship in the name of protection . Also the porn block has a huge range of faults.
1.It just won’t work. There are millions of porn sites which all won’t comply to this law. Furthermore, if they do, anyone (including children) will just use a VPN.
More details
2.It encourages illegal behaviour. It will make children and adults buy IDs and credit card information from the dark web in order to get passed the check.Even the government own impact report says this. The porn block will just increase funding for organised crime
3.The data could be hacked. It’s would be humiliating if a hacking organisation could link the porn you had been watching to your Credit card/ID.
4. It’s ran by a private company not the government. For pornhub,they own their AGE ID
