Good for them, but no matter which generation, the kids will find a way to look at it. Boys are pretty darn creative when it comes to that.

I work at an adult facility and I have to check ID'S on Everyone who comes in or face the possibility of a $500. ticket

I'm really wondering how the hell this is going to work... most people lie on age verification which is how we end up with a bunch of 9/10/11 yr olds on twitter and instagram...

Not much to do with saving kids from viewing depravity ( ha! ) more to do with adults viewing morally corrupting naughtiness. Expect Herr Trump and his religious ( ha! ) pals to do the same in America.

Good. I think it's very important to teach young kids to work their way around the internet, such as finding out about VPNs. Good job government.

Porn is vomit.

VPN companies are pretty happy about this.

I wonder why we can't be first in online security? I just wonder why......

Forcing people to hand over sensitive personal information to privately owned and managed pornography companies... What could possibly go wrong?

uhhhh my living word is not like that...BTW I dont have PORN on my twitter..Nudity is not porn...

It will go well with their Minority report crime prevention system.. The second a pimply adolescent opens his zipper an android can knock on the door to tell him he will go blind from it.
