VPN industry … EXPLODES!
Oh no… Let’s just Google what other porn sites are out there. Oh look 1,642,000 results found…
That’s not the point. This is a protest by the company running these sites against a system that’s not fit for its claimed purpose (age restriction of websites) but is very fit for surveillance.
Well it kinda is the point, people will either use VPNs or go to riskier sources. I found a new site with loads of porn and all you have to do is install their browser plug-in, and video player!
I just found out today due to work needs that Vimeo already does this.
TBH I didnt know Vimeo was anything like this.
A lot of sites had to block the UK like Imgur, or completely shut down like Urban Dead, because they aren’t the kajillion dollar companies the UK government thought the Internet was made of. I don’t know why the UK didn’t enforce parental control software instead. OSA is a solution for a problem solved 30 years ago and is just going to destroy the Internet since it’s not possible for the vast majority of it to adhere to its laws.
The UK didn‘t do anything properly because that was not the point. They want mass surveillance for their authoritarian police state.
its mostly surveillance of political dissidents, they dont really care about the porn content, they just want the identies of everyone that is a potential threat to the oligarchy. and PALINTIR has pitched their services to them already.
Tally ho chaps. God hates wankers.
Are they partnered up with VPN companies by any chance?
Coz thats the only place porn exists
Policy makers so naive
I remember when you didn’t have to have a VPN to enjoy the internet.
What would we even call a decentralized porn site?
OpenVDA
VDA?
Open Vagina, Dick, Asshole
ActivityHub Dixelfed FedTube
circlejerk?
Fapiverse
More importantly, what type of content would be most popular in fediverse?
Linux porn?
c/unixsocks
FaptivityPub
FapivityPub*
Wouldn’t the ideal be self hosted content made by the people hosting it? Obviously there’s no mechanical means to block people from uploading content that they don’t make, but those kinds of ethical questions and control of access can be handled by federation networks.
Decentralizing these things could lead to a better way for sex workers to work safely (SESTA/FOSTA closed up a lot of safer avenues for sex work in the US) There’s a lot of rules for trust that you can build into these systems, things like basic encryption with private and public keys.
Someone who didn’t want their content online could take it down easily. They could easily gate it - like, think about where most of the profit the actresses and actors videos go to now? If you are watching stuff for free on a website, it’s the website getting ad revenue and maybe the company. Do they get royalties? Workers should own the means of their reproduction.
Have the porn companies released numbers on how affected their traffic has been with an these new rules? I could see them not wanting to they’re getting hurt but would be interesting to see
There calling it NoFap February.
I think it will be interesting to see what happens as a result of cuting a population off from porn.
If videos from other places with no porn are anything to go off of, they’re going to start learning how to drive their cars on two wheels without the distraction of porn.
Also seeing how many times they can get the car to spin after pulling the handbrake at highway speed.
They will just rely on illegal outlets now lol Can’t wait to see people locked up for porn lol one of the stupidest ways to spend government money lol
Oi there bruv, you got a liosence for that there wank
Oim gonna hav to clamp that willie ov yours untill such toim as the courts decide
or use vpn/proxies to get around it. these are all PH-owned sites, i wonder if it affects the non-PH affiliates porn sites.
Texas did the same shit not long ago. VPN usage went through the roof, as expected.
UK is requiring age verification on VPNs too
So that’s why that back mirror episode with the pig was set in the UK. They knew.
It‘s a British series.
This leaves citizens with a torrent of questions.
You really need a VPN to torrent safely, and the UK Government is in the process of restricting VPNs.
I guarantee there will still be VPNs accessible in the UK no matter what they try. My money is definitely on Mullvad still being accessible for one.
sorry I don’t know what any of these things are
Username does not check out.
Or it absolutely checks out.
explain
Yall may wanna step in and nip that kind of authoritarianism in the bud because it doesn’t get easier when it’s matured.
