I don't believe DEBill criminalises the watching of "banned" porn — just the distribution — but coupled with IPAct, the government starts to build up a nice cache of ICRs of people who accessed "illegal content"… and your hidden image becomes quite the incriminating HTTP request…<br /><br />Your post says, "Now, that is not illegal, thankfully" — what a difference a year makes.Marekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17949807916426956802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-79553499501861267982015-12-10T14:40:15.254+00:002015-12-10T14:40:15.254+00:00Ironically that is not a site I visit personally, ...Ironically that is not a site I visit personally, just one that is well known, though I don't plane to start a discussion on the merits of various sites :-)RevKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369263214193333422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-31957846131486453392015-12-10T14:39:11.262+00:002015-12-10T14:39:11.262+00:00I said there were many ways to bypass it, includin...I said there were many ways to bypass it, including Tor.

You did mention TOR though, but it needs explaining to the technically clueless that this is a fundamental waste of time and is relatively easy to get round if you do indeed, not want to be tracked.

Will there be a dispute process to have it removed from my connection record as you instigated the connection rather than me?<br /><br />I also noticed a "link href ..." to the picture and a "meta content ..." in the header.
