Porno sites ban

UK porn viewers will soon have to prove they are aged 18 or older under new laws. But when does the block kick in, why is the government changing the rules, and can you switch it off? Porn sites were set to be blocked on July 15, with sites required to get proof of ID from UK residents before showing any X-rated clips — in order to protect children. That included free porn sites like PornHub and YouPorn — which attract nearly two billion visits a month between them worldwide.

The UK is about to introduce restrictions on watching pornography of a kind never before seen in the world. The government is planning to stop children being damaged by watching adult content by stopping anyone from doing so unless they go through a "rigorous" age verification process. Websites that aren't part of the blocks could find themselves being punished or blocked entirely within the UK. They are being described as a ban on anyone under 18 watching pornography. But in fact they are a ban on anyone watching pornography unless they have explicitly proven they aren't As such they are incredibly general and have led to worries about internet freedom and the privacy of the people giving up their personal infomation to prove they are an adult.

News India News Govt plays Net nanny, bans porn sites; subscribers see red. This story is from November 1, Government has banned porn portals. Viewers say ban on porn site is against net neutrality laws in India. Users feel the government should take strong action against child porn, rape porn and BDSM but not against more well-known porn websites.

After the ban on over pornographic websites ordered by the Uttarakhand high court in September, many internet users in the country are now also blocked from accessing their mirror sites, or copies of the original website under a slightly altered web address. Moreover, they may no longer be bound to even block the original websites since the high court order was an interim one and lapsed after the petition for the ban was dismissed, he added. The rationale for the latest blocks on mirror sites remains unclear. After an amendment to the Information Technology Act in , the Indian government without a supporting court ban can no longer order ISPs to ban any website solely on the grounds of obscenity. This could explain the haphazard nature of the new blocks.
