Just reading earlier that one of the ad agencies that delivers ads to many of the porn sites has been delivering malware ads that can potentially infect a users pc without even clicking on the ad. Similar thing happened a while back as well.
I wonder if that's in some way related to this blockage.
Something like that happened to me on either Porn-hub or You-porn about 3/4 years ago now I only use VK.com never had any issue with that
The current state of play on Age Verification and potential ISP blocks for porn sites in the UK:

You can let the government know your views on AV below (the survey is annonymous)

Code:

Take into account that the US (a country that values civil liberties) deemed age verification unconstitutional https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Onli...ection_Act
Also take into account that internet filters are now widely available and very easy to use, so why does the government need to implement AV?
so many sites to visit that are outside regultaitons it is pointlessImportantImportant
Will never happen if we are still in europe if brexit happen then i can see it happening but because its suppose to be free movement of goods and services across the EU they wont allow it. EU already ruled that filters are unlawful

But the filters are still in place and there are no plans to remove them.
Just been re-reading a Sharon White interview that she gave prior to Ofcom becoming regulator of the BBC.

This part struck me as offering a possible backdoor to further internet regulation: 'Asked if the decision [to give Ofcom regulatory powers over the BBC] would require primary legislation, she said: “The area up for debate is that the communications act does not allow Ofcom to regulate online. The BBC Trust, as well as regulating scheduled programmes, also regulates blogs and online. If we were going to be given mandatory responsibility for online, we believe there would need to be legislation."'

Well shit! That legislation better be tightly worded... But what's the betting the government takes the the opportunity to encompass other aspects of the net it doesn't particularly like in its bestowing executive powers?! bladewave
Ofcom backs down on a previous ATVOD ruling which caused a 'porn' site to close down.

To be fair to Ofcom, they have overruled ATVOD decisions so often that it's surprising that ATVOD lasted as long as it did.
