Excellent news today from the BBC: the ridiculous UK plan for requiring outsourced age verification before viewing porn websites has been abandoned. Or, perhaps it’s better to say the scheme collapsed under the weight of its own contradictions.

My first notion was to write up a longer post about what it means and what to think about the vague “duty of care” regulatory scheme that is being bruited as a replacement. But you know what? British politics and insular porn regulations happening (or not) very far away are thoroughly outside my lane. Really, you should be reading somebody like Blake for that sort of detail. In fact, Blake’s Patreon post is how I got such prompt and detailed word of the news. I thought I should tell you “Just go read Blake’s post, a dollar a month to support them on Patreon is a pittance” and indeed I do hereby tell you that. But in truth, their post on this is not even Patreon-locked. Somehow “go read it for free, you cheapskate” doesn’t sound proper, though.
