>Pornography websites are to be ordered to install age-verification software to ensure users are not under 18.
>Sites face being banned in the UK if they fail to comply with tough new regulations set to be announced by the Government on Monday.
As most of you are probably aware, 4chan hosts a lot of porn. This new law going through in the uk will force sites to install "age verification software" which will reveal the user's identity.
Is Hiro going to comply with this law and force every 4chan user to provide him with their credit card details (which is how I understand this age verification software works) or will he let the site be banned in the uk?
Are we going to lose our brit users or will we all have to use this age verification software?
Yeah, I'm not gonna give Hiro my personal info just because the UK made a retarded law. Brits will have to use VPNs

UP THE RA
FUCK BRITS
>>1460291
then the government bans VPNs
we gave them too much control and now we have no way of getting it back
Hopefully! they are the worst posters even more than leafs I feel like leafs just roll with the hate and make shitty posts on purporse, i'd do the same desu
Third option: make 4chan safe for work. This would also have the benefit of cutting the costs of running 4chan. And 4chan is a shitty place to get porn anyway.
Nah, fuck Britain. If the British want to browse 4chan they can sneak under their national firewall like everyone else who lives in a shit country.

Who cares about the anglos?
They make a personal chat room thread on every board. They think they're so special. Well they aren't.
>>1460290
¥Implying may can actually enforce this

>UK
expected from a country that blocks torrent sites on a country level
>when you turn off your vpn to post on the chan
>>1460290
I thought you said US at first and I was really excited. Then I saw it was the UK and realised I'm fucked.
>>1460363
He's the tripfag to try and ruin tripping on /qa/
/int/ will be great again.
>>1460518
He's cooler than you.
I've got balls of steel
More concerned with porn than with terrorist, what cucked nation.
>>1460634
>muh terrorists
You retards deserve it for voting for these fucks whenever they use this phrase to drive you idiots into a spastic fit.
>>1460295
If you refer to Canadians as leaves you are part of what makes this site so shitty.
Meta thread devolves into political shit flinging?
Hardly surprised.
Then: The Great Firewall of China
Now: Hadrian's firewall
Next: ???
I don't see the problem here? I'd sacrifice my identity if it meant the kids left this place.
>>1460297
>Edit or delete a bunch of boards to make 4chan SFW
>Deny underage bonglings access to 4chan and experience a vastly improved site
I wonder what the best solution is.
>>1460368
torrenting is literally never used for anything other than illegal file sharing anyway
>>1460538
will he ever recover?

You haven't looked for examples of non-copyright infringement. Sure infringement is one of the protocol's popular and widespread use but that doesn't mean there aren't people who use it in a completely legal way. Such as linux distributions.
>>1461040
I torrent Linux ISOs...
>>1461040
>illegal sharing
It should never be illegal to share.
>>1460290
What's even the point of this law
Is it gonna kill 16 year olds if they see titties on the internet
I doubt there's anyone in the uk who wasn't seeing porn at that age

It's an apparatus of the surveillance state. It has nothing to do with protecting children. That's just the way it's been packaged. As it's always been, the powers that be want even more power over the peasants.
and nothing of value was lost
