“The Government is committed to keeping children safe from harmful pornographic content online and that is exactly what we are doing.

Only adults should be allowed to view such content and we have appointed a regulator, BBFC, to make sure the right age checks are in place to make that happen. If sites refuse to comply, they should be blocked.”

...A great way to bring in enormous censorship changes, I mean who is going to make a public fuss about "adult" material?

Any predictions and/or thoughts on this? Multiple opinions are welcome, I've heard it could be used to censor or ban any websites that go under the 'Adult' category, regardless of whether the content is actually pornographic or not.
