1984 for real. next step, you have to keep the web cam unobstructed while viewing porn, because what if you are a minor using your parents id. its to protect the children you see.

UK Nanny state is such a joke. Glad I don't live there. It's even worse than America in a lot of ways

WTF?

Reminds me of Australia's effort to ban all porn with small tits because it's too close to children. Big floppers for everyone! (and nothing else!)

When visiting the UK I've had the "porn" filter stop all kinds of things unrelated to porn. Top kek was blocking several ww2 era weapons articles, probably for being gun porn.

Do you mean the ISP-level filter? I'm pretty sure that works on DNS – though I'm only familiar with it taking out piracy sites like The Pirate Bay. (I have no pirated media on my device to my knowledge, in case you were wondering.)

1) Order a prepaid Visa card card from the Saidit store for JasonCarswell; as a gift.

2) Keep Jason Carswell's card.

3) With said card, Embark on a quest for the elusive Australian small tit.

4) Repeat step 3.

Good thing I have a VPN then

I still dont see the point. Using a DNS outside of europe, TOR or a VPN would fix this. You could also torrent it.
