Apropos;  The govt. are looking into applying a mandatory proof of age
requirement for gentlemen's special interest(1), web sites(2).  This to
be done by asking for credit card details, for example.  Yes, the UK
govt.(3) /still/ seem to think that they can control the internet.

(1) p0rn
(2) monitoring such activity indicates that 5% of the people viewing
such sites are males between 13 and 18(4)
