why the age verification part of the online safety bill should be scrapped

[onlinebill1984]

age verification will just push pornography viewing more underground which is very bad. 

there will be lots of people especially children viewing indecent images of children if the online safety bill goes ahead in its current form.

in comparison google does an excellent job of filtering illegal content

your choice government, scrap age checks for adult sites or have millions of people viewing illegal websites on the dark web

I'm sure if people wanted to watch child abuse or to hire a killer they would find a way

However some protection is needed

Why would you want children or young teens viewing adult sites?

What a load of absolute rubbish your argument is!

[onlinebill1984]

they will either view legal adult websites or be blocked from them and then use the dark web and end up on sites like those

[jonsie]

In your opinion

Most people, especially children, have no idea how to access the dark web

You can't protect everyone but you need some form of protection for the vulnerable

Adult sites have been available for the last 40+ years and your argument about pornography being driven underground hasn't happened in those years and so is baseless and invalid
