Hello. As you might be aware, the uk has recently passed new laws regarding age verification when accessing porn on the internet. All sites are required to verify age through id documents. These laws are not only stupid, dangerous, and ineffective, they are a serious violation of our internet freedom, and most importantly, of our human rights in regards to privacy. In the past week, many porn sites and mainstream social media have started enforcing this age verification through id. I never thought things would reach this point, what has society come to (not just the porn, requiring id to access stuff online)? The rest of Europe might also follow suit, or some countries at least. But whatever, I have a question to the admins of this site:
What will be your decision? Are you going to follow the law and start requiring id for your uk userbase? Are you going to tell the uk government to fuck off and keep hosting the site as is (until they ban you, but it's small enough it might fly under the radar)? Are you going to just close the site for uk users? I know this is a pirate site at the end of the day, so who cares about rules, but it's also the most popular porn game forum, and with the way things have been going with the internet, you just never know. I would just like to ask the admins, please, please, let it be the last two choices, either leave the site open or don't close it. Please don't start asking for our ids. That would be awful. Yes, many people will just use fake ones, and it's easy, and you could use a dodgy method that anyone can bypass, but by complying with this law you are saying that it's ok for the government to regulate our internet usage and that it's ok to have any personal internet activity tied to a personal identity. This is just wrong, you know? I'm sorry if this is not the right forum, I don't know where would be appropriate to post this. I would also like to turn this thread into a discussion, between users, of these new laws, the steps we can take to repeal them, and what we can do to avoid their spread into the rest of Europe.
