As a reminder for those who missed it, from 2022:- > Parliament blocks disclosure of MPs’ p*** site visits on ‘national security’ grounds https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/mps-p***-parliament-neil-parish-national-security-b2097695.html

AKA we watch so much p*** that it could be exploited by foreign actors to compromise the state or its representatives.

Our world would be a better place on so many levels if people just stopped giving a f*** about that shit as long as it's legal and consensual. We're humans. Sex is a part of literally every single one of our lives. Hiding it as if it's some shameful thing only makes it harder to deal with actual real problems around it.

An old man was turning 75 next week. So his sons got together to decide what kind of a birthday present to get him. They were manly men; so on the day of, he answered the doorbell to find a woman wearing lavish makeup and odd clothing. She said "Hi! I'm here to give you Super Sex!!" He said, "well, uh, come on in, but at my age, I think I'm going to have to go with the soup."

Staying home and having a wank is good for the oil crisis. Edit: Flick the bean for the economy.

Just revoke the OSA, it’s doesn’t protect children who are smart enough to circumvent it or have parents who just give their children age permission to access adult sites with no consequences for them doing so If you want to protect children spend whatever fines Ofcom have already extorted from companies by behaving like the mafia and invest it in police and child protection charities Then again that’s not going to happen as the government rather like having a law in place where they can shut down sites or get the identities of any users which they don’t like by simply defining the site as being “Inappropriate for children”

They won’t revoke the OSA because it has nothing to do with protecting children. It’s a lie being used to push mass surveillance.

IIRC, they've been talking about copying Australia, and going through with it no matter the outcome of the consultation.

Where's the source on "going through with it no matter the outcome" from what I've seen it's the opposite, they're consulting on it but have said they're not planning on implementing anything.

itskdog May 6, 2026 +7
Doing some research, it seems that an outright ban isn't guaranteed, but they're not backing down from doing *something* for under-16s, so age detection will be needed either way. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y7d2zx63jo

Until they're imprisoning parents for abuse for allowing their kids access to the horrors of The Computer then they're not really serious about protecting children.

Some users? Another one of those unfair instances of ... "Rules for thee.... While I whacky my weenie" huh?

If you buy a new apple product, you too can view p**********!!! The fact you have to do she verification for the apple device is worrying as well. Well luckily a VPN is much cheaper and protects me in other ways.

Nothing unites Brits faster than losing access to websites they definitely never use.

I have been doing so much ADA-related web development recently that the headline sounded like P****** was, at least for some UK users, finally getting quality video transcripts, alt text, navigable sections and headings, and a color-scheme with adequate contrast.

When you're not UK based. BBC Worldwide is a commercial self-supported entity and is forbidden from using public funds. They'll show ads too.

Maybe that's why iPlayer isn't offered as a subscription service around the globe. I always thought that would have been a smart move. Perhaps there's too much red tape.

Should have invested in a VPN company before the OSA came along.

VPN’s are used by various public sectors for the actual intended purpose of hiding their computers from prying eyes like foreign intelligence It’s been pointed out, not that this government is listening, that if the UK moves to block all VPN’s as they’re aiming to do with the obvious exception of government usage it’s going to be very easy for foreign intelligence services to figure out which computers are government ones when the only payments to VPN companies from the UK “businesses” are obviously going to be the government computers

Yes I see! When you cut back the quantity of things in the internet your security via being hidden in a crowd is lost.

I was actually happy to hear there was pressure on PH from some countries over "step-sibling" and "step-child" content. Incest-adjacent content is still gross. Age verification efforts may or may not either be fine or cause problems. But they can definitely do better on not distrbuting simulated problematic situation fantasies.

These sites are also blocked in Australia. Funny thing is there is such an easy way around it. And no, I know what you're thinking. I'm not referring to a VPN. It's even easier then that. Don't bother asking me for instructions or how to do it. I am not going to be responsible for sharing how to get around your laws. I like my freedom thank you very much.
