Internet videos to be censored in the UK

[Green_Knight]

Will this be another idea that Trump will pick up from the UK?

Good! The Uk should stop wasting time watching videos and figure out how to help Greece.

Is concern for Greece still a thing? After it leaves the hysterical headlines I'm never sure if I'm still supposed to care.

Greece? Greece should never have joined the Euro zone. Greece's then government lied like troopers that they met the criteria to join the Euro. If they left, and could devalue their own currency, half their problems would go away.

Those holding Greek debt would take a large hit but they know they are going to anyway.

These rules already apply to offline porn. Not really anything new then is there? Makes sense that the same rules apply to offline and online porn. If you can't buy scat or bestiality DVDs why should you be able to view it online?

You want to expound on censorship overall, that's something else.

This bill will just harmonize online rules with current offline ones.

So pervos er I mean users will browse through proxies and VPNs and TOR etc. I predict an upsurge in usage of the Opera browser with its built-in VPN -- like I'm using here now. Do they think they can ban such simple workarounds?

A few years ago, Australia enacted some new laws where they were not allowed to show women naked if they had B-cup breasts or smaller. I think that law was reversed pretty soon after.

Good. Children, many pre-teens, should not be watching explicit sex scenes, particularly of the porn variety that saturates the Internet. Adults- well I suppose that's another matter, but watching people engaged in sex- particularly "deviant" sex- is not exactly what the founders of the US of A had in mind when they came down in favor of freedom of speech. FWIW, I say these things as someone with, I think, a more extensive (although not terribly deviant) sexual history than most people here.

Strange

I've always thought it was kind of weird where the lines were drawn, even on this site. It's okay to talk about violence, rape, incest, and whatever else, but not about children. I'm not saying talking about children should be okay, but why are some of the other things okay?

I haven't read really grotesque violence here. As for rape and incest, well this is a sexually themed site. I am glad they don't allow child sex, although a lower age limit of 18 strikes me as a bit restrictive.

What age seems less restrictive and allowable to you? I ask because I know there are other countries where this is acceptable, like a friend of mine who went to college in Australia. He was bragging about dating a girl who was 16 and he was over 20 at the time, probably around 28.

14 might sound like an appropriate lower age limit to me. Maybe I say that because that's when I started having intercourse. And as long as it's not really exploitative, I have not problems with a 20-something and a 16 year old girl getting it on.

I can see your point. I had sex around this time myself with girls around the same age. As for a 20-something having sex with one who is 16, I think that's for someone else, but not for me. In other countries or places, it's probably acceptable, but not for me. At any rate, I think it's an okay limit (18 and under not allowed), but I would kind of question why there aren't other limits, too, at least a few of them. It's just odd to me that the one limit is the age restriction and not one or two more.

What is more, all the Eurozone countries knew they were lying and encouraged them to do so. They were so desperate to expand the Eurozone that they only saw what they wanted to see. Of course, now it's all gone pear-shaped they all blame Greece.

Not ALL the Eurozone countries encouraged them. The EU administrators and the politicians wanting a closer integrated Europe turned a blind eye to Greece's finances.

Of course they want to censor the internet, they are leftist, just like China and N. Korea.

Lame, it's not the governments job to raise peoples kids.

Plenty of parental control programs out there.

So what? It's okay to censor offline porn but not online porn? Easier for kids to access online porn than offline mags and discs! An unregulated WWW went out the window the day Yahoo groups required registration to join. You want access to porn than maybe it should be sold in back alley stores where ID can be checked. Much safer for kids and out of sight of those who oppose porn.

It's not ok to censor....

It's not the governments job to parent your kids.

An unregulated WWW went out the window the day Yahoo groups required registration to join.

No it didn't, you can get online right now and pay someone somewhere to do ANYTHING you want them to on a webcam. Sex, drugs, rape, torture, murder....anything you want.

Yahoo is a private service provided, not government regulation.

You want access to porn than maybe it should be sold in back alley stores where ID can be checked. Much safer for kids and out of sight of those who oppose porn.

How about parents who don't want their kids to see it just adjust their internet parental control settings??

Most computers and browsers for that matter have it.....if you don't like them there are numerous free programs out there designed to keep your kids from working their way into the adult side of the web.

Is asking parents to just be parents too much freedom??

Yea I figured that wouldn't go over very well with a control freak like yourself.

My whole point is this...

Nothing new here. No new censorship laws are being promoted. Just harmonizing online and offline laws.

No censorship. BULLSHIT! You may have low limits but I can assure you there are limits to pornography and even free speech that you agree on. Unless you like them real young and support NAMBLA type orgs right to exists and publicize their beliefs. So don't give me that no censorship crap!

 

[BotanyBoy]

My whole point is this...

You hate freedom and you want the nanny state raising all the children because people shouldn't have to take care of their fuck trophies....that's the gubbmitnz job.

I know....I already read it once.

Posting it again will not improve my opinion of the people who want to state to regulate porn for everyone else who's not a kid because they can't be bothered to be a fucking parent for 2 min and adjust the controls on their kids e-shit.

Those kinds of shit bags will always be degenerates as far as I'm concerned.

No censorship. BULLSHIT! You may have low limits but I can assure you there are limits to pornography

No there are not.

There is just legal and illegal which varies from one location to another.

Otherwise the reality is that it's ALL for sale on the www.

Everything...

and even free speech that you agree on. Unless you like them real young and support NAMBLA type orgs right to exists and publicize their beliefs. So don't give me that no censorship crap!

I don't care for sex or porn in general, benefits of being an ace, I don't have sex of any kind complicating my life.

I fully support all pervert organizations right to exist and publicized their beliefs....I prefer them out in the open as opposed to hiding, makes keeping an eye on them easier.

Even bigoted speech, yes sir I support their right to be racist/sexist/xenophobic assholes.

I like knowing who these people are so my yellow ass can avoid the mother fuckers, make sure and NOT support their businesses.

Like my local small engine shop owner is a racist shit.....and I'm glad he felt free to express his racist views because I drove 150 fucking miles to go spend my money with someone else. I was able to ACTUALLY hurt him where it really counts, his bank account and THAT is why I'm such a big fan of free speech. People should be allowed to shoot their mouths off all they want so long as they aren't directly endangering others with it.

If you had your way I'd have never known and the racist fucker would be 2300 bucks richer this year.
