UK to block adult sites this year
Quote:
British Prime Minister David Cameron today will announce an aggressive plan to crack down on online ****ography, as part of an ongoing campaign to protect children from its "corroding" influence. Under Cameron's plan, online **** will be blocked by default for all new UK household internet connections, meaning consumers will have to tell their internet service providers (ISPs) whether they want to disable the filters. The plan will also make it a crime to possess "extreme ****ography," such as images or video of simulated rape, the Daily Mail reports.
"By the end of this year, when someone sets up a new broadband account the settings to install family-friendly filters will be automatically selected," Cameron will say in a speech to the child protection group NSPCC on Monday. "If you just click 'next' or 'enter', then the filters are automatically on."
Cameron is taking aim at violent and illegal child ****ography, in particular, and will call upon major search engines to do their part to prevent "sick" people from accessing such content. Under the initiative, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) will draft a blacklist of objectionable search terms, while a UK-US joint task force will be established to help combat obscene websites.
"I have a very clear message for Google, Bing, Yahoo and the rest," Cameron will say. "You have a duty to act on this — and it is a moral duty. If there are technical obstacles to acting on [search engines], don't just stand by and say nothing can be done; use your great brains to help overcome them."
The prime minister will meet with leading search engines in October to discuss their progress in blocking all terms included on CEOP's blacklist. "If the progress is slow or non-existent," Cameron says, "then I can tell you we are already looking at the legislative options we have to force action."
Today's announcement has been expected for several weeks now, and was immediately welcomed by Rape Crisis, a London-based advocacy group. It is illegal to publish or possess rape ****ography in Scotland, but has thus far remained legal in both England and Wales.
""challenging the eroticization of violence against women and girls""
"We are heartened by the government's announcement that it will close the loophole in existing extreme ****ography legislation," Fiona Elvines of Rape Crisis South London told the Guardian. "The government today has made a significant step forward in preventing rapists using rape ****ography to legitimize and strategize their crimes and, more broadly, in challenging the eroticization of violence against women and girls."
But others have raised doubts about whether Cameron's plan can actually work. The mandatory ISP filters have proven particularly contentious, as evidenced by a leaked letter from the Department of Education that the BBC published last week.
"To work, the filters would need to prevent users from asking search engines 'How do I turn off these **** filters?'" Tom Melzer wrote in a Sunday editorial for the Guardian, echoing ISP concerns that web filters could be easily circumvented. "And then the question 'How do I turn off the filters for questions about turning off filters?' And so on, forever."
It isn't immediately clear how Cameron's plan will affect existing internet subscribers, though the BBC's leaked letter suggests that for them, the filters will remain opt-in. UK ISPs currently offer an "Active Choice" program, whereby users can choose the degree to which online content is filtered.
"The prime minister believes that there is much more that we can all do to improve how we communicate the current position on parental internet controls and that there is a need for a simplified message to reassure parents and the public more generally," the letter reads. "Without changing what you will be offering (ie active-choice +), the prime minister would like to be able to refer to your solutions are 'default-on' as people will have to make a choice not to have the filters (by unticking the box)."
Cameron, meanwhile, seems intent on pushing his plan forward, framing the issue as a moral imperative.
"I'm not making this speech because I want to moralize or scaremonger, but because I feel profoundly as a politician, and as a father, that the time for action has come," he will say. "This is, quite simply, about how we protect our children and their innocence."

You can call up your ISP and have the family filter removed, no need to install proxies or anything. This is just an opt-out system so that it protects more internet users from accidentally accessing inappropriate stuff (especially children which I 100% agree with and support completely). It's much more convenient for internet users who want to access **** to ask to turn the block off, rather than having every household who wants the block to have to ask to turn it on.
Might be a little awkward having to call up like "er I'd like my **** back plz" but if this helps prevent impressionable kids seeing stuff they shouldn't then I'm all for it. Thirsty bitches will just have to deal.

And what about 18 yr olds like me who still live with their parents?
I don't wanna have to ask my parents to turn off the family filter.
Cracking down on **** isn't gonna do anything, it's just gonna make people even more horny and possibly lead to even more rapes IMO. Cameron is just a moron.

I do remember reading somewhere that studies suggest that ****ography, including the kind that depicts sexual violence, actually deters crimes of that nature from happening IRL. You may be right.

Good move, David. Now, just make a few more utterly idiotic policies and then we'll be guaranteed an independent Scotland in 2015.
And no, it's much easily for the 13 households or something that actually want the filter to call and ask for it rather than forcing the 99% of households who want access to op-out.
