UK To Block Internet P0rn By Default

Internet p0rn to be blocked by default in the UK.
[bbc.co.uk...]

Every household in the UK is to have #*$!ography blocked by their internet provider unless they choose to receive it, David Cameron is to announce.

In addition, Mr Cameron will say possessing online #*$!ography depicting rape will be illegal, bringing England and Wales in line with Scotland.

Jimmy Wales's opinion [bbc.co.uk...]

Enforcing the laws that we have? Where are the politicians' sound bites in that?

These IT guys should get out into the "real world"

Censor the internet is a big mistake. Also #*$! for a American is when you see a girl in a sweater and for a European when people are doing the thing, so where to cut.

I don't think it's about defining p0rn. It's about trying to stop children from accessing it.

It is about making Cameron look like he cares about protecting children despite a 10% cut in the (already inadequate) Child Exploitation and Online Protection budget.

If it wasn't for #*$! & gambling the internet might never have caught on.

I can't believe that "p0rn" is a banned word on this forum.

[lawman]

believe it!

This site is a wonderful example of the false positives that can come up with aggressive filtering.

Just try reporting a something in S#*$!horpe although Penistone is OK.

Looks like the topic has run its course.
