Spoken on behalf of the Government on BBC Radio 4's Any Questions, the Financial Secretary to the Treasury wants pornography gone from the UK on the basis of protecting women's and girls safety and fighting misogyny in society.
Bear in mind, this is separate from the Online Safety Act about to be enacted and the age verification plan any website not "suitable for children". Also bear in mind VPN's operating in the UK are also required to comply with the law.
The UK Government is about to go to war on pornography and appease both the feminists who believe it is exploitative and harmful to women while turning men into misogynists and the traditional conservatives who also believe it is harming masculinity, encouraging bachelorhood and contributing to the decline in birth rates.
This is such a dumb thing that I can't believe I have to defend porn. It always starts with saving the children, or women, or women and children.
You know you won't be able to ban it all, or block it all, and you can't shut the internet off for England, or Great Britain, so this is just saber rattling. Besides, it'll be the ISPs that'll have to block it, not you. So it's just extra work for the IT departments across GB.
So do it then. Turn the internet off for Great Britain to save people from porn. Even though you can't, and it's not you actually doing that work.
