A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

April 1st is predicted, Lord Mandelson's gift to the nation from the past decade, watered down.

The "Digital Economy Act 2017" law was passed in an effort to prevent underage internet users from accessing pornographic content but critics have condemned it as infringing on civil liberties and say it is likely to worsen the problem.

Nowhere, after a lot of searching can I find where or what 'the problem' is, with the exception of the legislation itself.

The law also only applies to websites on which "pornographic material makes up less than a third of the content." That means social media platforms are likely to be exempt, so underage users of these sites will still be exposed to pornographic content. :-doh:confused

More pointless interefering with personal freedoms. Anyone who still wants their pron fix will just get a vpn.

Or join a 'social media' platform, possibly the last place for appropriate, age related content.
