Porn site traffic plummets as UK age verification rules enforced (bbc.co.uk)

This is useless as the Brit will just use VPN's/Tor or anything else connected to US servers where the main language interface will be 100% the same. This will just give free money to US services and probably generate a big hole in the UK economy. I remind you all that porn does far more money than tons of services. They were pioneers on online commerce with credit cards.

People can tell otherwise, but these services are widely used by the population in disguise, from both women and men.

The historical data is that porn usage is inversely correlated with sexual violence: the countries with more access to porn have less rapes.

If I had to guess at a reason, it is presumably because cohorts of socially undeveloped adult men are sexually sedated by porn and are less motivated to rape.

Meanwhile, hetzner/digitalocean traffic increases ten fold.

Just means more VPNs are being used to bypass this stupid piece of legislation.

What are they going to do with this amount of freed hands now????

In other news, a massive spike in BitTorrent traffic has been detected in the UK. Experts are calling the rise "unprecedented".
