UK pornography fans would have had a few days till the end of this month to watch the blue movies without any qualms. But not until end of the year.

In a bid to prevent children from accessing pornographic sites, the UK government was set to introduce a new system to approve age limit in April.

However, the government has now delayed its launch until the ‘end of the year.’

Making the announcement, the government said, “Our priority is to make the internet safer for children and we believe this is best achieved by taking time to get the implementation of the policy right.”

“We will therefore allow time for the BBFC as regulator to undertake a public consultation on its draft guidance which will be launched later this month,” read the statement according to The Mirror.

“It is anticipated age verification will be enforceable by the end of the year.”

“Any porn site that fails to comply with the new rules faces a fine of 250,000 Euros,” The mirror reports, a sum equal to over Sh28 million.
