The UK has passed a law requiring people to obtain a 16 digit code from local newsagents in order to access porn online. These codes will be available to people who are over 18 for a nominal fee.
The newsagents would be required to confirm that these people are of suuficient age. This process will be anonymous and no records would be retained of the identities of the people obtaining these codes and therefore access to web porn. No code, no web porn.
This looks like a good way to handle this. We should have something like this here, don't you think?
No it's a terrible way to handle that. That's what you get when you're a subject and don't have a Bill of Rights. Hardly a surprise coming from a country that puts people in jail for saying the wrong thing.
What gives 'newsagents' (whatever they are) the right to sell access to anything online? You really trust them that it would be anonymous and no records are being kept? For one thing if that was true how would they know who has a valid pass or who a pass belongs to?
I was stationed in South Korea for a year, they have a massive and very powerful firewall that blocks all porn. I mean this thing can block anything and everything.
All the troops bought a VPN, problem solved.

But UK isn't China. A block on VPNs is pretty much censorship at that point.
Europe is turning into a dictatorship
can't criticize Islam
can't be against gay adoptions
can't kiss a girl (unless you're a girl too)
now can't even get a boner in your bedroom
Let people do, what they wish to do and quit thinking for them up high in your intellectual ivory towers.
Sorry, but while we might agree on many things, children being exposed to certain things are a norm civilized society has always had. Whether it be drinking, smoking, guns, driving, etc., we as a society attempt to shield our young from potentially harmful things.
Once they become adults, then hopefully they are mature enough to make decisions for themselves.
Until then, having reasonable restrictions on access to such things is not only smart, but also in their best interest.

It's an excellent idea.
States should require a license to view pornography, and charge a $50 to $500 fee for an annual license to generate revenues.
