31/05/19 00:20am 1559258415 In July 2019 the UK government will enforce age verification laws for pornography on the internet — rendering Great Britain the first ever country to introduce mandatory age checks. It is feared, by campaigners and sex-workers alike these new restrictions on internet use could have severe consequences for the livelihoods and well-being of those working across the industry. Independent sex-workers, particularly those who advertise online could see a drastic reduction in not only their earnings, but also their safety and access to support. As an indirect result of the government's new "age-verification" legislation, which is aimed at reducing young people's access to online pornography, any website deemed as adult in nature may be "blocked", including directories, personal websites of sex-workers advertising their own work as well as self-publishing content platforms for video such as JustForFans and other forms of social media.

13/07/19 00:53am 1562975629 The Government has announced it will be delaying age-verification, yet again for up to six-months. It will no longer be implemented on July 15th 2019 as planned. The delay to one of the government’s main internet safety policies shows the enormous challenges associated with attempting to regulate the internet. It also raises questions as to how a similar age-verification system for all mainstream websites – as proposed by the information commissioner’s office – could be implemented. The delay is damaging to many British age-verification businesses who invested substantial sums of money in developing systems to provide the tools required to check internet users’ identities. They were relying on the launch going well in order to sell their products around the world and make the UK a hub for global age-verification systems, with many backed by small investors who could lose out in the event of a lengthy delay. Age verification was first proposed in the run-up to the 2015 general election by Sajid Javid, when he was culture secretary in the coalition government.
