In che modo i britannici hanno reagito alla verifica dell’età? | Yougov

[The headline statistics.](https://x.com/YouGov/status/1950945276442685587?t=hDfmBA_66IHTwkY09UORZQ&s=19)

Couldn’t care less. I don’t do anything dodgy, but at the same time I don’t think this will do anything to protect kids.

The way Reddit reacts you would think people should be on the streets with their pitchforks and its the end of Labour.

From speaking to friends and family, and seeing this survey it’s clear the echochamber that is Reddit isnt representative of the real world

The new law doesnt bother me. Its abit more faff occasionally, and it will work in a limited capacity but life is too short to care too much

There is no way 69% of Britons support this. Absolutely no chance. Seems like a “how to lie with statistics” type scenario and if you’re not in the 69% you are shunned for wrong think. Many of the 69% percent should look at the bigger picture in all of this. This is just the beginning.

I find a lot of the backlash bizarre.

It’s trivial to get around it if you want to, as everyone has said. However, it’ll stop some dodgy stuff randomly coming up on kids phones. What are you actually losing from this, is the real question? I agree with the government line on this – if you’re really worried about the ID verification, are you trying to speak to children or something? 

Why is it always about pornography when the Act covers far more than that? Obviously, most people are going to support stopping children accessing porn, but if the question was “Do you agree with a law that stops under 18s accessing information which might help their mental health and support them in facing difficulties in their life?” then I think the % would be different, because that is what the Act is doing.

How about the question “Do you think Wikipedia should be banned in the UK?”

Oh look, the policy that was spectacularly popular last week is still pretty popular (although down 10 points).

Almost as if Reddit is a bit of a bubble on this topic mostly affecting people who browse places like Reddit.

Although that shift in Reform voters is interesting: from 53/23/10/7 to 40/19/14/22.

I wonder if that is why Farage etc. came out against it or because they came out against it. Or it is just that the Reform population tends to trend more male and online?

I refuse to believe nearly 3/4 of the country supports this in the way it’s been implemented.

Maybe some were mistaken and support the general idea of banning under 18s from watching porn? Because I certainly support the idea, not by using my own face and government ID being given to random insecure data companies though.

Or maybe they do support the ID verification and just don’t understand the dangers of a future with a lack of privacy, hackers stealing and selling extremely personal information, etc. If that’s the case, we are well and truly fucked, because that’s how the government, criminals, and these data companies want us to think like.

As I predicted in another thread – the terminally-online gamers and porn consumers on Reddit have completely overreacted to the OSB. The comments in another thread (it’s a power-grab by elites to identify dissidents) were borderline hysterical. The Bill has flaws, for sure, but the principle is nowhere near as insidious as Redditors would have you believe.

I knew that the majority of British people would be in favour of shielding young people from harm online. The corrosive impact of the internet on children is a well-established concern amongst the population. I see it every day in my job.

Even in this thread, people are just refusing to believe it. Completely wrapped up in their hyper-online world and completely detached from the average person. U18s should not have unfettered access to pornography or violent material from any age. This is quite obviously not good for society.

Once again evidence that Reddit is incredibly unrepresentative, and the subsection overrepresented on here are largely a bit weird, live online, and are stuck in echo chambers.

A popular policy and well-intentioned has been treated like a war crime. Hopefully this is a wakeup call that this policy isn’t going to be revoked and some of the pant-wetting has been a bit unedifying.

Are people that salty over porn? I get handing your rights over n that. But come on lads 😂. Go pick up a some skirt in spoons, problem solved.

That has got to be a pair of the most loaded questions I have ever seen in my lifetime…

Polls are basically meaningless. They have become a way for politicians to justify everything and anything they do.

“Do you want the government to eliminate homelessness?”

97% in favour! See, the people want all the homeless to be turned into soylent green!!! The people have SPOKEN!!!

SNP do something similar with “consulations”.

>…the large majority of people (69%) saying they support the new rules…

69% support age verification for online porn?

Comedy gold right there.

I will get downvoted for this but I don’t care. Reddit hivemind gets angry about a topic, the voting system reinforces the echo chamber, then Redditors start to believe they represent the mainstream view. Any polling evidence to the contrary must be wrong. It happens all the time with topics like trans rights and Scottish independence / Irish reunification (on the respective subs).

They should have asked: “If you have encountered age restrictions, did you verify your age?” —I’m curious to know the number of people who actually are following the system.

i like how i’m never offered one of these surveys when they go round.

Those stats seem like bullshit.

How effective is it? 0%. Anyone who knows jack about VPNS can bypass it.

And 69% support it? Yeah right, they might support the idea of it, but wouldn’t support the actual implementation, because as it has been implemented, it has royally fucked up a lot of sites, even non pornographic ones. And it’s even stretching further than even just NSFW…
