    The UK/Europe does not require/have 2257 docs like the U.S. does. If they did require something/anything like a 2257 doc, then "barely legal" content would be 100% legal, no questions, no problems.

    I've been in "the industry" for almost a decade (NOT an actor/performer), and for us in the U.S. the 2257 is a VERY big deal. If we don't have a 2257 or if it's incomplete, we quarantine the material until the 2257 is fixed/complete.

    This article is just fear mongering. Keeping p0rn in the shadows only makes it more evil and promotes more human trafficking.

    Clever strategy: barely legal means legal, and if they make it illegal, there will just be a new category that is now barely legal...which now is illegal!

    It's a blanket ban by induction.

    Or they could fuck off and leave people be

    im assuming the idea is that a failing economy wants to instill puritanical bullshit like this because they think that young men and women will want to fuck each other more now that they cant masturbate as easily. and thus will increase the birthrate, which over time will stimulate the economy by having more low born wagies and soldiers to support and defend a dying status quo.

    by formally giving your ID and biometrics for access to porn, you set yourself up down the line for legal blackmail if you ever try to resist, or become a personality of resistance in any way.

    the elites have done this for years to one another, now, they want to create a system of manipulation where regular, normal pornography can be used as a tool of manipulation on the masses.

    I think it's even more important to pipe up about i2p

    are there any downsides like speed and connectivity?
    or has all that been worked out since it's been around since 2002 (and apparently I've never heard of it like Tot, which has its own drawbacks)?

    Obviously there's not as many seeds for torrents as there is on the Clearnet, but recent uploads saw me getting reasonably decent speeds while some of the older torrents can take some time or be dead....just like the ones on the Clearnet.

    There is something that while it doesn't affect me here in the UK (yet....) there are issues with connectivity in certain dictatorships listed on their site

    https://geti2p.net/en/about/restrictive-countries

    Try it out, there's even an Android app which I never really used and only have i2p on my server at home. Reading the reviews it seems to be hit and miss on a phone, and I should really give it a try sometime.

    Honestly that would seem like the most common sense idea that anyone would/could draw up from this, and for the most part I think this is what the gov is trying to do.

    I think there's an unstated side effect from the Online Safety Act which nobody seems to be talking about - using the new powers to effectively censor Palestinian protests online.

    Yeah, I voted for Jezza but I saw this coming. While I wanted the Tories out, I couldn't bring myself to vote for red Tories to replace them.

    This is exactly the same shit they were pulling back in the Blair days.

    You stop at the R and change if to a Z. Barry = Baz, Darren = Daz, Carol = Caz etc etc. Because British English is non rhotic, it doesn't work if we stop at the R (like USAians can say "Gar" for Gary) so the z sound gets used instead, because it's pretty close.
    Then the A gets added if you're being extra friendly or cute, a bit like Michael > Mike > Mikey. Gareth becomes Gary becomes Gaz becomes Gazza.
    Make sense?

    Yet another ill concieved piece of legislation incoming, from a bunch of elderly people who don't understand anything and are quick to moral panic.

    Imagine the recruitment process for this taskforce. A bunch of people rushing to volunteer for this taskforce that requires watching all the source material for research purposes.

    Christian fundamentalism is a thing, just look at the USA and Kony.

    Not that different from the Muslims you criticise. Just with a cross instead of a moon. You're pretty arbitrary at it.

    All fundamentalisms seek to repress and are bad. Regardless of faith, fascism has no place.

    I agree american church can be crazy but let s be honest between burning a bible or the kuran what will send to jail ? In Europe critic of Christian faith have never been punished by law for long time. You can do a piece of art that blasphemous toward Christianity and all u get is a place to expose it in a museum meanwhile toward Muslim it s jail or they simply kill you. It s really bad faith to say the two are similar

    Criticism of Christianity certainly has been punished here! You're mistaken. Also, they are similar.

    In Europe, eg in Ireland, the bishops were sacrosanct so much, that they could rape people and nobody would do shit because they had that much influence. And people who wanted to abort, were refused service and so basically got killed under the name of the Cross.

    Or look at Poland, where Christianity is also still very much holy - so much that they erected a giant statue of Jesus. A waste of tax money if you ask me.

    And that's not to mention a lot of countries have blasphemy laws still in place, and Sundays where stores simply are not allowed to open at all. Or how about sexual abuse in Churches occurring nowadays still?

    Don't act and play dumb.

    The Online Safety Act charged the regulator Ofcom with monitoring whether pornography sites are protecting UK viewers from encountering illegal material involving ....extreme content, such as...necrophilia.

    Back when he had started out in law school, the Honourable Judge Hodgkins had not expected to be spending the seniormost years of his career ruling on whether or not a lich queen should be considered dead by British legal standards. However, it was Parliament that wrote the law, not him. He went back to scrutinizing, side-by-side, a copy of Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England and the Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition Player's Handbook.

    The classic slippery slope, thin end of the wedge argument.

    A reasonable position, you're gonna need some evidence of intention or history to give it some heft though.

    Anything claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

    The programme followed the performer for six months and included her claim to have had sex with 1,057 clients over the course of 12 hours.

    Holy shit, not even hentai can reach such high numbers. Even as a gangbang queen, that's a lot of dick to satisfy

    She found it in pursuing “barely legal” sex – traditionally one of the most searched-for terms in porn – with the twist that instead of men searching for videos of other men having sex with teenage (or teenage-looking, depending on how many internet layers you’re prepared to sift through for your purposes) girls, Billinger offered herself to young men. -- She had sex with them for free on condition that they gave permission for her to upload the footage to her OnlyFans account

    That's about the smartest economical move she could've made

    Yeah, so I already see where this sliding scale is moving towards. Let's just require all porn models to be 80, this way we.can be absolutely sure that they won't be anywhere near the barely legal line!

    We can also know that now almost nobody will be watching porn anymore

    All models and actresses should be over 30. Because if you are made to find a 29 year old attractive through exposure, then that is a gateway to 28 year old objectification perversions. We can examine barely legal 31 year olds after fixing the "young near porn" epidemic.

    They can make the age of consent for porn (or any unconventional sexuality) 25, which will also let them slip in their long-mooted plan to make that the age of consent for gender affirming care.
