  • Tumblr Porn Ban Inevitably Goes Wrong

    Well, gee, I never saw this coming. Tumblr’s quite obvious ludicrous porn ban has hit most of the snags that everyone predicted. Not to mention seeing a huge outflux of users to sites set up quickly by members to house adult content. Honestly, this has to be one of the dumbest moves I’ve ever seen…

  • UK Set For Public Transport Porn Ban

    I’ve never really understood people who watch porn on public transport anyway. I mean, it’s not like watching Stranger Things or Peaky Blinders, is it? You mostly, I assume, watch porn to get off – one way or another! You can’t very well do that on 13:45 from Horsham to London Bridge, can you? Unless…

    It might, on paper, seem strange for a coffee shop to be announcing a ban on porn. But let’s face it, so many people go to Starbucks and use their WiFi that it’s actually a pretty big deal. And hey, it’s good business as well, isn’t it? Hanging off the back of the news of…

    It’s a rare thing indeed in the current climate to happen across a politician that stands up for porn. But that’s exactly what Benjamin Netanyahu has done, slamming an anti-porn bill as ‘parent shaming’. As much as I may despise some of his political stances, this is a genuine piece of much-needed good news for…

  • Tumblr Announces Complete Ban On Porn

    I’m sure you will all have heard the news by now that Tumblr is initiating a complete ban on adult content. The ban will start on December 17th and will have a devastating effect on homegrown and amateur porn. It will also mean many porn stars who use the platform will be hustling to ‘SFW’…

  • Kiki Vidis Hits Back At ‘Anti-Porn’ Home State

    Photo courtesy of ALS Angels This is an interesting story about Kiki Vidis returning to her home state in Australia. The idea of a separate town trying to ban porn is quite odd to say the least, but it’s great to see Kiki taking a stand against this sort of nonsense. These kinds of rallies…

  • Pornhub Find Way Round Indian Porn Block

    Last year, the Indian government invoked a mass block of over 800 porn sites. However, Pornhub have decided that enough is enough, creating a mirror site that gets around the block. It’s unclear how long they will be able to stay undetected and whether the Indian government will be responding. Hopefully though, Indian porn fans…

  • ISPs Warned Against UK Internet Blocks

    The British price comparison and consumer market research site MoneySupermarket has released some damning stats regarding content blocks. With net neutrality issues and age verification for porn viewing on the horizon, ISPs would do well to heed their advice. The research shows that nearly two-thirds of people would switch ISPs if any blocks were put…

    Ministers in the UK government have admitted that their plans to introduce age verification measures for anybody wishing to view internet porn could cost at least £10 million – and the measures haven’t even begun yet. The much delayed and highly controversial measures continue to remain indefinitely on hold with no new initiation date as…

  • UK Age Verification Checks Delayed Until ‘Later In The Year’

    Gee, I’m totally shocked by this news. One of the most ill-conceived pieces of political legislation I’ve ever been aware of in this country has been delayed until “later this year” but it should just be cancelled. Even beyond the fact that it’s essentially nannying adults and stopping them from viewing legal material without barriers,…

  • UK Porn Regulation Board Unable To Provide New System Details

    So it’s just a few weeks until porn viewers in the UK will be required to provide proof of their age if they want to view any porn sites – and the board in charge of it all still hasn’t been able to provide details of how it will work. The BBC reports that the BBFC…
