Stop the introduction of age verification checks on porn sites on 15th July.

Petition Details

On the 15th July the government will introduce age verification checks on popular porn websites. Though it may sound like a good idea it has many damaging consequences.

Additional Information

- It may jeopardise personal data such as passports and credit cards because data isn't managed by the government.
- It destroys the freedoms of users. Anything you do on these sites is now linked to your personal identity.
- The checks will be ineffective as there are many ways around it such as using VPNs. There is also a lot of adult content on sites such as twitter.
- Children will be at greater risk to extreme content and malicious advertising due to accessing sites which are unknown.
