No, but I can ban you from viewing it if you want.

How many children actually have any kind of ID? A passport maybe.

Good point, but adults will. I think that the way it will work is that anyone unable to prove they're over 18 won't be allowed onto sites not appropriate for children.

This keeps getting thrown about by politicians etc and not one of them can speak to what it is on what it will consist of they just keep repeating ‘ The new robust age verification requirement’

It won’t happen

I can understand your cynicism as this has been promised in the past and not followed through.

I have met Dame Melanie Dawes and she is a very determined woman who now has the backing of the law requiring the protection of children.

The Dark Net is often used by some people for illegal content such as paedophilia. David Cameron said that the National Security Council that he chairs has already made this a security priority

A doctor on ITV reported yesterday morning that by the age of 11 91% of kids have a smartphone and that 40% of these will be classified as overweight/obese.

He blames this on mindless eating whilst looking at a screen so that they do not recognise when they are full.

Something else for parents to think about.

There are lots of threads that I have no interest in on here, so I just ignore them and hope that those participating have an enjoyable & fruitful discussion.

I certainly don't go in and start making negative remarks. Just ignore it and use your time interacting on those that you do find interesting if you have no interest in the attempts being made to protect the vulnerable/children.

There is absolutely zero chance that the adult (voting) public will entertain such an invasion on their privacy as to “prove” their age to every website that might host content unsuitable for children.

Kids are fat because their parents keep them inside. A consequence of the last curtain twitching crusade that would have you believe that every public space is crawling with paedophiles so it’s safer to lock up kids with an Xbox.

[Dude111]

Its amazing how many people DO NOT CARE ABOUT THIER PRIVACY ANYMORE (@ least here in the states)

More might not mind doing this than we realise

There’s a reason it’s been promised in the past and then subsequently not followed through on. Do you know why this is the case ?

I do find this topic quite interesting but also comical at the same time.

Children over the age of 13 will have to show evidence of their age. What kind of ID? Their Hotwheels drivers license?

Adults (and children) proving their ID with all the security leaks these days, not a chance of that happening.

They'll be no anonymous accounts.. Goodbye Reddit etc.

If you watch porn and the site get hacked, then you're open for blackmail.

Ban VPNs? Well good luck with that.

All what's going to happen in 2025 is the usual statement 'Delayed... Pushed back... Blah blah blah'

So…completely unworkable? We’ve been saying that from the start. I don’t know what the right answer is but I certainly know what it isn’t.

Well if enough people resist this and complain it will eventually be dropped........

But the people have to speak up and make thier voice heard!! (Before this goes into effect)
