> All polling has problems like this, but YouGov has the same methodology for everything and usually gets within a margin of error of +-8.

The way the very question was asked is a problem in itself. It is flawed and will lead to particular result.

The issue is that the public often doesn't understand the scope of the law. Those that do are almost always opposed to it.

It isn't about the pornography. This is why conversations about this are frustrating.

I am worried about the surveillance aspect of it. I go online because I am pseudo-anonymous and I can speak more frankly to people about things that I care about to people who share similar concerns.

I don't like how the law came into place, the scope of the law, the privacy concerns and what the law does in practice.

Even if you don't buy any of that. There is a whole slew of other issues with it. Especially identity theft.
