We are sure of one thing right now, though: The porn blocks are not starting today, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/the-uks-ageid-porn-filters-are-a-recurring-april-fools-joke-with-a-dark-punchline\/\">April 1st, 2019<\/a>. The latest concrete date that was provided was \u201cby Easter 2019.\u201d That means these blocks could be made public in the next three weeks. The UK government has said that they will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/tech\/uk-porn-blocks-id-age-pornhub-youporn-mindgeek-uk-government-a8818086.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announce<\/a> the \u201cfinal\u201d date of implementation \u201csoon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of how the end porn consumer is supposed to verify their age to bypass the porn blocks, the fact that they have to is still demeaning. Currently, it seems that UK netizens will have the option of uploading documents online or going to a physical location to show their age-identifying documents to a news agent \u2013 which one of these seems less privacy damaging is entirely up to to personal preference.<\/p>\n<h2>UK porn blocks are unpopular, to say the least<\/h2>\n<p>Only 34% of a surveyed group <a href=\"https:\/\/yougov.co.uk\/technology\/articles\/22676-britains-porn-watchers-likely-be-caught-their-pant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">believe that the porn blocks will be effective<\/a> at all. Given the repeated delays and potential paths forward, it\u2019s no wonder that the porn blocks are failing before they even have an announcement date set. Don\u2019t take it from me, take it from the following UK based lawyers, activists, and writers.<\/p>\n<p>The government\u2019s plan to implement the UK porn blocks has been redrawn and delayed over and over again. Carmel Glassbrook of the UK Safer Internet Centre commented to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/tech\/uk-porn-block-ban-ageid-sex-pornhub-youporn-a8845206.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Independent<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat they are actually proposing to do is quite a bit more difficult and a lot less simple than it has been reported as.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>These past few years, we\u2019ve seen a lot of proof that the politicians making these rules are either not capable of or willfully unable to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/uk-home-secretary-still-doesnt-know-how-encryption-works\/\">understanding the technical underpinnings<\/a> of what they are legislating into existence. Myles Jackman, an obscenity lawyer in the UK, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/the-uk-porn-block-is-coming-why-people-think-its-a-bad-idea-2019-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Business Insider<\/a> his thoughts on what was wrong with the proposed porn blocks:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt would appear the government thought this was a cost-neutral freebie that they could get away with very easily without realising the potential impact it would have on privacy and data security.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Rowland Manthorpe, writing for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/porn-block-uk-wired-explains\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wired in UK<\/a>, was even more direct in his criticism which he shared in an article titled: <em>Why the UK\u2019s porn block is one of the worst ideas ever<\/em>. Manthorpe summarized why the UK porn ban is doomed to fail:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat\u2019s more, because the UK is the only country in the world mad enough to introduce a porn block, anyone with a VPN, which can make it seem like you\u2019re in another country, can get around it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Kingdom waits with abated breath to find out when and how porn blocks will be implemented across the country.
