> UK government proposes issuing Britons with unique porn-viewing ID numbers

Some choice quotes:

> As with web filtering, there is no evidence that Age Verification will prevent an even slightly determined teenager from accessing pornography

> The Government appears to be looking for an easy fix to a complex social problem

> A database of the UK’s porn habits. What could *possibly* go wrong?

UK is going on a great streak of idiocy

> acknowledging that databases like the one proposed leak like crazy, and so on.

Not even the most idiotic idea they've ever proposed when it comes to "regulating" the internet.

Would it hurt to have even just one engineer in government who can tell them when what they want to do isn't actually possible.

That costs salary, which is better spent on the costs of accessing the EU single market
