This photo taken in London on Monday July 8, 2019, shows a laptop screen displaying the website for AgeID, an age verification system for the British government's planned online "porn block". The British government wants to require porn websites to verify their users are adults. The effort is being watched by other countries hoping to better regulate pornographic content but has raised concerns about privacy, censorship and competition. It has run into multiple delays that reflect the confusion surrounding it.
The global push to more tightly regulate the internet and big tech firms is spreading to one of the web's biggest and least visible corners: porn.
Opinion:
Governments once again attempting to censor the web by promoting an ineffective filter to "save the children". This is getting old.
Don't stop where the ink does.
