UKās New Age Gatekeeping: Porn Traffic Hits Chihuahua-Level Altitude
Starting June 2024, the UK rolled out hard-hitting age-check laws targeting legions of adult site visitors in a move allegedly designed to save toddlers from accidentally Google-clicking 'mommy's secret stash.' The Washington Post reveals this digital chastity belt's instant impact: porn traffic is doing the digital equivalent of silent disco ā everyone locked out, confused, and mostly angry. Internet service providers and adult content platforms are scratching their heads just days into enforcement, scrambling for solutions while Brits reportedly rediscover VHS tapes and scandalized peep shows. Critics wonder if this is moral policing or just Britain's grand slap at its own bandwidth limits.
