you're allowed to say PORN on the internet

Since when did keeping kids off of porn sites become everyone else's problem and not the problem of parents? Oh, right, that's just a bullshit reason to make accessing porn more difficult and a security risk since they can't just make porn illegal.

wow, they actually, properly, fully did this shit. Amazing.

So glad I left that shithole. My friends are aparantly using VPNs, which is the same fucking thing I had to use to access WIKIPEDIA in TURKEY.

I hope he sues and wins

I don’t want to know anything more about this man other than he has a lot of tattoos, likes porn, and isn’t afraid to say it.

King Of Ink Land King Body Art The Extreme Ink-Ite has written to his local MP to air his grievances.

Holy shit. That's his legal name?!

For King of Ink Land, this is particularly tricky as the system believes he’s wearing a mask – but it’s actually his tattoo-covered face.

So is it first name 'King of Ink Land', last name 'King Body Art The Extreme Ink-Ite'? Or is there a middle name in there?

The King of Ink Land, who is now considering using a VPN, was attempting to access a live webcam site when the issue arose.

Whoa whoa whoa. "The" King of Ink Land? That's his name, not a title!

Godspeed, King of Ink Land. I sincerely wish you success in this fight.

From here

It's all part of the plan. Only this time they let the cousins across the pond do the first significant move.

They just need to support alternate verification paths for people like him, and people who have otherwise been disfigured.

They should sue for discrimination if steps are not quickly taken to support their situations.

It’s funny how this turns into the gov needing to provide equal access to porn.

Let this man watch porn without giving out any of his personal information. I too want to watch porn without giving out any of my personal information. You do too, if you watch porn.

Dude needs to just upload a pic of Norman Reedus.

He knows that video games where you can pose the character can bypass it, right?

Iirc death stranding and a few others have been shown to work.

Alternatively VPNs work.

Or piracy.

hmm, something tells me that facepaint will come into style in the next 10 years...

You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

I'm confused, can't literally anyone just generate an AI selfie to submit for the censorship?

A couple news cycles ago was just talking about how AI video and image generation has progressed so far that it is really difficult for any system to tell it is AI in some cases. This seems like the perfect usecase for that.

Or does it need to link to a real person ID or something?

How about... People are paid as age verifiers. Win, win. More jobs, lower chance of data being stolen, maybe more awkwardness if you came across your partner on the other end of the teleconference call.

Or, how about this, bring back porn theatres. Industry gets paid from ticket sales, you have a ticket person who can ask for ID.

Also, is porn really that damaging to kids? I remember when there were videos circulating from beheadings and that was far more traumatising.

If only there was a very easy, simple way to trick the system into thinking you are an adult.
