As much as I hate this, I'm just glad I like my porn simply just 2 people fucking.

Oh, that won't save you. You see, virtually every porn site in existence has something on it that the BBFC will find objectionable. If they can't vet every video, which they can't, I can't see how they're going to avoid blocking virtually every site. On the other hand, this may prove to be the saving grace: what they want to do is utterly unworkable, and hopefully at some point they'll realise that it's not just fetish sites they'll have to shut down, it's everything. I doubt that even the current deluded Conservative leadership will think that they can pass that under the radar.

Alright, maybe you've got a point there. I mean, on the bright side my country can't decide on anything for more than a month so I'll give it until 2017 before the backlash hits them and they realise It's a dumb idea.

Let's see UK will have Mass Surveillance removing every single human right and privacy from there existence. And now with this new bill it you won't have the internet it becomes worse the intranet like china the government tells you what you can and cannot do on the internet, freedom of information? Gone, porn or not this also removes the ability to expand for new information going towards a state that you cannot control, but controls you.

And that is democracy? not in my book.
 
This shit will come to USA at some point with Republican control. You still laughing at me now for having a 600 GB downloaded collection?

So women ejaculating is some kind of moral affront compared to dudes doing it? Let me guess, because the sperm makes the babies and women shouldn't be having sex for any other reason?

Jesussssss

It's not ejaculation, it's urination.

If they do it when they're coming, it's ejaculation. Who gives a shit?
Well, they don't really, or at least, the relationship isn't causal. Squirting happens far more frequently without orgasm.

What you see in porn is faking orgasm during the squirt. It's definitely a result of specific intense pressure in certain areas, rather than contractions from orgasms.

That's beside the point though, and yeah, who gives a shit. But the consistency is that they outlawed male urination, so they would outlaw this too.
 
I'm sure censoring porn on the internet will be easy and straight forward in practice.

Aside: Is there a British porn scene? I assume there is, but I can't say I've been... exposed to it.

Maybe it's time for you chaps to swap the filth for a good book and cup of hot cocoa.

Given that all torrent sites have been blocked by the Government, every UK household must opt-in (essentially put themselves on a register) with their ISP to view adult content, and porn sites are set to have passport/credit card verification or be blocked by the Government, I have no doubt that personal VPNs will come under scrutiny sooner or later.

They will probably exempt business VPN use but I can see the 'justification' for a ban being that it interferes with the new Investigatory Powers Bill.
True for now I will be happy 😜

I said this early, but I bet some of the Parliament fucks that are for this have child porn on VHS.

Something tells me that you'll still see plenty of dudes jizzing on women's faces.

If I were in the UK, I'd be setting up my own personal server to just download all day and night until this goes into effect. Who the hell is voting for this?

I thought that, after Brexit, the British have earned the right to masturbate but, at the same time, it is a sill thought.

Showing my age but I remember Ben Dover and a black guy who would act as high class roller but the women he'd sleep with were not.

Ben Dover's kid is a tv actor now, so this was 20 years ago.

Related... here are the government agencies that can make a request to see your internet history.

There's no hiding your porn viewing habits from the Food Standards Agency.
This is crazy. Why the fuck would the Department Of Transport or Food Standard Agency want to see it? "Sir, we have reason to believe you plan to cook a Jamie Oliver recipe and then take the foods to your mother via car. That cannot happen!"

This will be hilarious once they start using it to block other "unconventional" things.

Oh, that won't save you. You see, virtually every porn site in existence has something on it that the BBFC will find objectionable.

With the current Joker on the throne of the Con?

Yeah, prepare your arse for blasting cause it's going to get rough.
 
I feel like the UK and the US are fighting for ridiculousness between Brexit, Trump, this and so much more.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to use my American right to go watch women urinate and ejaculate

Oh what the actual fuck? Where did this list come from? I need to see it with my own eyes.

So much for a being used by police and intelligence agencies to track down terrorists. Imagine any time you get in touch with a government agency from here on out, they'll take a casual glance at your browsing history and judge you appropriately.

This is some downright totalitarian horseshit.

Ah, yes. Female ejaculation. Let's ban what's basically the staple from the last decades of female sexual liberation. Orgasms where women expunge fluids? That's nasty.

haven't even seen this mentioned anywhere except on here and reddit. a lot of people must not know what is happening. i think all we can hope for is that when it is implemented that people fight back. but of course it may be too late.

we're going down very fucking slipperly slope. i wish i could GTFO this country. praying for another scottish independence referendum to happen. need to get out this sinking ship.

Vaguely on topic, NordVPN have a pretty decent "cyber weekend" discount going on.

Are they good for Netflix and 4K streaming? Steam downloads? Tempted to sign up myself at that price, especially if I can just put the settings into my router so my entire connection is on VPN regardless of device.
Think my router has a VPN section in the options, an Asus.

Their site says Router support, so might sign up when I get home and try it out. They say they have a 30 day money back guarantee as well.

Hell with it, I'll give it a go.
With a money back guarantee no reason not to at least try it.

When setting up a VPN connection on a router, which is better, OpenVPN or PPTP?


Edit - Doing a bit of digging, OpenVPN is definitely the way to go.
