So any chance of really helping to clean up what is available to minors, or what questionable sexual practises are being shown on tubes, the opportunity is lost as UK producers cease to be, and unregulated offshore porn continues without hindrance.

Thank you very much for the response.
I can see where having your hands tied while someone else gets to do whatever they want would be a real piss off.
I have my own opinions about the Internet and porn. I've seen in my career where I used to work at least every day to a situation where I stopped counting on the industry to pay my bills. So I tend to see age verification as being generally a good thing.
Therefore I hope for all of you blokes that if this law is going to be passed then hopefully it's just a first step and they quickly "censor" (block) the non-UK porn sites too.
I've read the UK's Obscene Publications Act and Criminal Justice and Public Order Act. What I'm curious to know is how do porn sites that have no age verification and zero paperwork on the performers manage to stay online without being busted. I'm not no attorney but every looks to me like these goons are breaking the law
