Porn Age Verification Plans Are Being Put On Hold In The UK, Again

Image Source: Pixland via Getty Images The porn age verification system in the UK—which was supposed to start on July 15th—has been “indefinitely delayed.” It seems the system’s legal basis was apparently undermined by the government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media, & Sport (DCMS) failing to inform the European Commission. Back in 2017, an age verification system was passed for people wanting to access porn websites, but it quickly attracted the concern of privacy campaigners worried about millions of people having to hand over potentially sensitive data.

“It might lead to people being outed,” said the executive director for privacy campaign group Open Rights Group. “It could also be you’re a teacher with an unusual sexual preference and your pupils get to know that as a result of a leak. It won’t get you sacked for viewing something legal but it could destroy your reputation.” Ultimately, the government agreed, issuing a statement saying, “While it’s very embarrassing to delay age verification for the third time, this is an opportunity for the Government to address the many problems that this ill-thought through policy poses.”

Pornhub Is Using AI To Make It Easier To Watch Porn

sexyemojisAI just got a whole lot sexier, thanks to Pornhub. The porn mega-site is using the technology to make it faster and easier to find videos tailored to your desires. “Now, users can search for a specific pornstar they have an affinity for and we will be able to retrieve more precise results,” Pornhub VP Corey Price said in a press release.

The AI model will be used to identify people, as well as specific sex positions and location-based videos. So far, Pornhub’s scanned 500,000 featured videos and will work on scanning its entire library in 2018, with the goal of preventing spam, identifying duplicate videos, and eventually offering viewers better recommendations. The introduction of AI to Pornhub comes on the heels of other tech upgrades the site has made recently, like optimization for those who are visually impaired and videos that work in sync with wireless sex toys.

U.K. Bill Proposes To Ban All ‘Non-Conventional’ Porn Online

britishunderwearThe U.K.’s new digital economy bill is a threat not only to citizen’s privacy, but also to their freedom to watch online porn. According to the Guardian, the bill would force internet service providers to censor sites hosting content that doesn’t meet the standards of the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). This means that anything considered “non-conventional”—i.e., quite a lot of material, kinky and otherwise—could be prohibited.

The bill can ban any “obscene” material, such as “humiliation or abuse,” sexual portrayals of “lack of consent,” or anything classified as “adult-only.” And because it can put a ban on “non-conventional” sex, sex acts like “consensual spanking, whipping or other BDSM activities would be censored, as would fisting and urination, female ejaculation, or menstruation,” reports the Guardian. Thankfully, because there are so many adult sites, the ban would be difficult if not impossible to enforce. As a spokeswoman for MindGeek told the Guardian, “many of the sexual activities prohibited from R18 are normalised and accepted aspects of healthy sexuality, and are proudly celebrated by the feminist, queer, and ethical porn movements internationally.” It’s frightening to think that those are the sites that would be most at risk.
