That's probably the best balance that can be struck. The biggest problem with this law is the government monitoring what kind of content you're accessing.
Minors don't get porn through Pornhub anyways. They get it through Twitter, Reddit, and Discord. Or, more accurately, the sites they use as a replacement for socialization simultaneously act as porn sites, often without any input on the user's part. And that's not even the only problem. Those sites also have far more non-vanilla porn, on top of doubling as advertising centers. So socialization, advertising, vanilla porn, and fetish porn are all being wrapped up into one package.
We're way beyond "is becoming", we're in the "It should have been stopped 20 years ago" stage. At the latest, when Apple and big tech ran their cleanup programs in 2009, it would have been nice if they cleaned up the internet porn, but that wasn't good for the regime's plans
Government is aware of people using VPN's to circumvent any age verification. The UK isn't outright banning them but effectively banning them in the same way they have with the right to protest as of today (coincidental timing, I'm sure). Instead of outright banning which would cause outrage and be indefensible, they make the law so vague that everything is covered while leaving a defence to say they didn't ban that thing. One of the things being amended is the requirement for payment processors to stop processing payments to any "Internet service" including VPN's and satellite Internet providers who refuse to implement censorship. Will the likes of ExpressVPN, Nord VPN, Surfshark, Starlink et al provide service for free? Of course they won't, they'll just exit the UK market. The free VPN providers will be blocked if an ISP still wants to be paid for providing their service and they will all comply.
VPN's are on borrowed time. Pornography may end up going to the dark web as a consequence of these new laws.
It isn't. The only people saying that are feminist plants who are desperate to make it hard to access so they can shill marriage and other female exploitation tactics.
What's producing the broken kids is women themselves, and they know it.
"Will somebody think of the children" is such a convincing non-argument, you can get people to support anything if you say it. Well...not anything. I've said it should be used to reduce women's influence on education and that gets no traction.
I used to completely agree with you, but kids accessing porn is becoming a huge issues with serious harm on them and society.
Let adults who want porn get a good VPN to protect their privacy, it's really fucking up kids.

I am fully convinced that the ubiquity of porn is directly responsible for the troon pandemic. Autism + porn addiction + grooming = troon.
You cannot be serious.
