UK to censor

[RHCO]

The UK public are apparently under the most surveillance of any Western nation

VPN outside of the five eyes, paid for via bitcoin and yer golden. Russian vpn will tell NCA,FBI etc to do one.
Also browsing via tor will hide your destination ip and source ip however tor users can now be unmasked by the five eyes intelligence services.
Best to use tails, Russian vpn and tor this will stop you being low hanging fruit which is easy to harvest and keep your privacy.

I read the Guardian article this afternoon and have now taken time out to digest things and put bluntly I am furious by the proposal of this bill. We are seriously heading back into the 1950's with this draconian outlook to sex and porn. Banning female ejaculation wtf!? Do they not think that we, like men, can ejaculate? How the fuck is that offensive to anyone? If this has some religious pious undertones then fuck religion.

It may mean, like there is the US also, that some if not many, scenes on LP will be blocked to UK viewers.

The age verification I could live with, even though it is equally as sinister and infringing, but this! What is next and is the this just a little appetizer before they really go to town telling us what as adults we can and can't be doing.

Just hope that somebody in parliament calls this out for what it is, a piece of unworkable, unethical and wholly illiberal piece of legislation, and the whole thing gets scrapped.

And there is one woman on the Guardian comments page who makes me want to scream with her Mary Whitehouseesque self righteous pious worldview.

Yes what do the UK Government have against the Female Orgasm ?

It won't be do difficult to circumnavigate, Things is it will probably end up costing the Porn Sites money as it will be easier to download from a torrent site instead of the actual site making the scene and paying the performers etc

[TheVulture]

Oh no! I'm old enough to remember pre-2000 when you couldn't buy uncensored hardcore porn legally in the UK. Would be appalling if our liberation only lasted 16 years.

Time to stockpile those LP clips for WWII style rationing maybe.

And sadly I can no longer 'borrow' what I used to find under my parent's bed, not unless I move back home, although I expect they were binned many years ago

And would have very little DAP content also.

True but they were damn filthy, particularly at the age I saw them...

Maybe that's the point though? to stop innocent girls and boys turning into lewd perverts like me, and probably 'us'.

Although I had other avenues into this hobby at a later age so I expect it would have found me sooner or later x

Well it's far too late in the day for us!

But it really makes no sense. Hopefully it's all something of nothing and doesn't target responsible pay sites like LP.

Let's hope so. Looking at the planned list of 'banned act's, if it goes through the HOL etc, it would mean that potentially we could have access blocked to fisting, female ejaculation and piss. Piss is currently embargoed and fisting you probably see in about 5% of scenes. Female ejaculation however would be an issue and I can't even believe that I am having to type that, FEMALE EJACULATION, god thats soooo offensive....

VPN if worse comes to worse, until they try and ban that

[leeesparky]

AFAIK squirting is on the list because they found some quack who testified that it was no different from pissing, despite the mountains of research to the contrary.

[avanfurwet]

How will they manage to ban Tumblr, Twitter, Snap, etc. etc. ???

Although this is horribly sinister, I really don't think anyone in government has thought this through. They just see an opportunity to regulate and control people's behaviour and make themselves feel important. The BBFC obviously want to expand their influence, but probably haven't a clue how to go about actually executing their evil plan.

The first and most obvious effect of this regulation will be a massive increase in vpn traffic which will be a gift to criminals and subversives making it easier to hide their communications and requiring more effort from government agencies to track the actual bad guys.

All very depressing.

[marksmith156]

How will they manage to ban Tumblr, [spam], Snap, etc. etc. ???

I think they will do it selectively at first.

First to be blocked will be the popular tube sites that don't fall in line. Then the pay sites like LP. Finally the big boys like tumblr and [spam] will implement special filters for UK users. Those who don't will be blocked.

You may be right. But I don't think the British government and it's agencies have the balls, brains or technical capability to achieve any of those objectives.
I think they're proposing to start a giant game of whack-a-mole without even possessing a hammer.

Time will tell. So far, I think this is mostly political posturing and influence seeking by e.g. BBFC. They want to congratulate themselves on controlling their citizens but they haven't got as far as actually considering how to do it and at what cost.

I was led to believe that this was possibly the Broadband service providers fault as they have not bothered to design sensible parental controls. (ie parental controls block everybody including the parents and and parents are not implementing these). It is really very badly designed software.

However since the closure of the most popular "brothel" in England last week I suspect that there is a secret SEXIT agenda now.

If there is a secret agenda I think it's more sinister. The long game may be to use porn as a scapegoat/excuse for experimenting with technical possibilities for censorship of anything the government of the day want to suppress. They use porn because they think few will object and they can easily pretend they are protecting the innocent. This could end very badly.

Thanks for posting.

Do you know if they need to get a court order, or even give any reason? Or is it just because they can

The Investigatory Powers Bill, which was all but passed into law this week, forces internet providers to keep a full list of Internet Connection Records (ICRs) for a year, and make them available to the government if it asks. Those ICRs effectively serve as a full list of every website that people have visited, not collecting which specific pages are visited or what's done on them but serving as a full list of every site that someone has visited and when.

And those same ICRs will be made available to a wide range of government bodies. Those include expected law enforcement organisations like the police, the military and the secret service – but also contain bodies like the Food Standards Agency, the Gambling Commission, council bodies and the Welsh Ambulance Services National Health Service Trust.

The same part of the act also includes the minimum office or rank that each person within those organisations must be if they want access to the records. In the police, any viewer must be an inspector or a superintendent, for instance

I'm not sure why the Welsh Ambulance service want to know I spend a lot of time looking at Snowboarding websites, but there you go

Thanks. Obviously I'm fully reassured now.

The last hope in an attempt to repeal this can be found here https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/173199

If you value your privacy you should really think about signing it, and spread the word because a lot of people may not know about the petition.

[laura.]

Thanks for the heads up Boshanks. Signed.

It's every uK based free thinking liberal porn lovers duty to sign this and pass it on to your fellow like minded responsible adults and pervs. Share it through social media etc

Needs to be done.

I'm honestly more worried about my Girlfriend find my pron than the British Government, This country is fucked anyway

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

So this "record of pages visited" must include every dodgy pop-up advertisement for god knows what that your granny inadvertantly triggers by visiting any old website e.g. her local newspaper. They'll think all any of us ever do is visit casinos, webcams and get rich quick scams.

And now anybody called in for questioning by police e.g. as a witness, will automatically have their internet history pulled in the hope of finding something embarrassing, and paraded in front of them as a lever to try to get you to agree to say whatever they want. We're well on the way to becoming a police state.
