Basically according to a survey, kids in the UK have reported bypassing age checks by simply drawing a moustache on themselves - although what the boys do is not mentioned!

As said from the very beginning, although I fully support the ‘aims’ of the law, it was never, ever going to work, So much for the robust measures!

But is surely raises another point, if kids are doing this then if follows that they are actively wanting to access this material, yes the measures may, may, stop little Susan or William, ‘accidentally’ stumbling across this, but I doubt that this ever really happened in real life. So some are actively taking steps to bypass the blocks - seriously is anyone surprised?
