Porn to be banned in the UK

"Most households in the UK will have pornography blocked by their internet provider unless they choose to receive it, David Cameron has announced."

Apparently 95% of ISP have agreed already, which means most people are fucked, sure you can always "opt-out" of it, but that's just admittance to your family(wife/parents/children/husband whatever) that you watch porn... not exactly my cup of tea.

A lot of idiocy going on here, a user on reddit summed it up perfectly, but I can't seem to find it anymore, I'll throw it up if I find it. Obviously this won't eliminate people watching it, but for the average user they won't know what to do.

Admitting to whoever else in the house that you watch porn is a problem with you? What is this, the fucking 1950's?

I feel that the person who admits to never having watched porn is going to be more embarrassed than a dude who watches it multiple times a day.

I know in your house you all masturbate together, but that's not how we do it here.

It's just a family filter guys. Google ha had it for years. It's just a case of turning it off. It's to stop households with small kids being able to access unsuitable stuff. Nothing is really changing its just that the option will be on by default now rather then family's having to turn it on.

HAHAHAHA

but in all seriousness, for anyone who knows how to use a computer, this should not be a big problem. Chances are something like spotflux will even work, or some vpn. And if that doesn't work, then tor with a couple of bridges and a sticker on your webcam will do perfectly (well, if u have a shit connection, then it'll take ages to download but...)

well actually, this particular policy is an extremely conservative nanny state measure. control of the internet under the guise of puritan "family values" rhetoric is about as far from the liberal standpoint as you can get

You can thank the Daily Mail. They lead the charge against online porn.
Now as our moral saviour will the DM now be campaigning against tabloids that show exploitative pictures of women and regularly pick fault in their appearance?

You dont even need a vpn, just use AnonymoX, it's a Forefox plugin that works basically like a VPN but not as tricky.

semi related...the local news stations broke from whatever was on to have "Breaking Coverage" about the fact that Kate and William or whatever his name is had a baby.

Who the fuck actually cares? Some 85 year old pruny grandmother? Chaps my ass.

^ they are not banning porn, they are banning the more dodgy stuff which I would think most people would agree with. The other part is just getting ips to put a family filter on by default. Most family's would have had this any way and if you want to you can just turn it off. Nothing is really changing.

Here's part of a comment from reddit   "...I don't know anyone who has campaigned for or against this and haven't even heard anything about it, facts are this has nothing to do with the subject its about, it is to do with installing a filter and making that routine so the public will accept it for when they start to block anything they don't want the public to see."

This isn't about child protection or porn it's about a government getting accesses to a huge ass web filter.

Inb4 porn viewership goes up even further because people are curious about it. VPN and proxy use will probably skyrocket as well.

I hate when governments try to pull this kind of shit but I also hate the porn companies so overall I don't give a fuck. plus I don't live in the UK so I REALLY don't give a fuck.
