What the petition asks
The government plans to add age verification and censoring on porn sites.
We believe this is censorship via a back door.
We believe this will mean the UK will block many sites (just like China does).

It will increase pirated and probably illegal porn as it will end up only the criminals supplying porn.
We see each day sites hacked and data leaked, so we fear peoples details will be leaked online.
