Bloody communists...

I don't think people will sit comfortable with having to enter their credit card information to have access to a site. That's a huge issue with security unauthorized payment it would certainly stifle business. Then what do you do about people who post their own amateur stuff. It would be interesting to see how it turns out. Of course I didn't think Brexit was possible so who knows.

We both know Putin wants to destroy Europe.

NOt sure how they would tackle potential account fraud. The tories are a mess at the moment, and this hasn't been well thought out.

It won't be about stopping the surfer, it will be about stopping the company. The companies will have to comply otherwise risk getting their sites blocked, billing cancelled and other punitive measures. This is likely to pave the way for Australia, Canada and some US states also considering similar plans.
I'm not completely against it in some form or other, and having seen some of the plans for complying, believe this will help in some ways.

There is an issue when a child can search for 'angel' and be presented with hardcore anal fisting images.

How much are age verification apps? would it deter people setting up sites?

First they create laws that forbid parents to bring their children up properly and now they say another piece of our freedom has to be taken away because kids don't listen to their parents and watch porn on line... how is that supposed to help anyone but a bunch of commies to keep their posts and carry on making silly laws?
