Masturbation is about to get a bit more fiddly.
Masturbation is about to get a bit more fiddly from April this year – with porn sites requiring ID, including free ones like YouPorn and Pornhub.
Clark says, ‘When a user first visits a site protected by AgeID, a landing page will appear with a prompt for the user to verify their age before they can access the site. Each website will create their own non-pornographic landing page for this purpose.’ Clark says, ‘It is a one-time verification, with a simple single sign-on for future access. If a user verifies on one AgeID protected site, they will not need to perform this verification again on any other site carrying AgeID.’The ban on under-18s was approved as part of the Digital Economy Act last year.
‘Once a card or voucher is purchased, its unique validation code must be activated via the Portes app within 24 hours before expiring.‘Once the user has been verified, they will automatically be granted access to all sites using AgeID. One of the reasons we chose to partner with the Portes solution is that it carries further protections for parents wishing to prevent their children ever using a card on their device.
‘AgeID does not know the identity or date of birth of its users, all it knows is whether a hashed account is over 18 or not. AgeID has been designed with privacy and security at its core, so much so that we believe we provide the most robust solution available. We look forward to being scrutinised by the BBFC and the auditors of their voluntary certification scheme.’
Jackman says that from April, ‘Sites will offer three or four choices, with one being that you show up with your passport at your local corner shop or Sainsbury’s and get a card with a one-off unique identifying number.’
