UK government proposes to block all Internet porn as standard

*Starts downloading a stockpile before it's too late*

Just opt in, surly this isn't a lot different than top row mags being in black wrappers.
Although probably be terribly implemented.

Yes but how many parents let their children watch 18/15 movies they own or have rented?

I should imagine pornographic websites have disclaimers before you enter...



Yes they are. If they don't understand the subject then they should at least make an effort to learn the basics.

You don't need to be a technical expert to have the computer in the living room with the adults and impose strict policies on the time it is used.
Sure there may be some things the kids can get away with using a setup like this but that's children for you.

However all this takes effort. The easy way is to give little Johnny a laptop and let him do as he pleases because you get some peace and quiet and can watch Eastenders.



You see it every time something bad happens. "Why oh why didn't the Government regulate x - Think of the children"

Point out to me the hordes of intrinsically lazy parents crying out for government legislation? You are tarring everyone with the same brush in order to support your flimsy argument that this phantom 'problem' is their fault.

The facts,as far as the article goes,do NOT support your (sadly tired) assumption.

A certain section of the population has always blamed books / music / films / games and now pornography for the woes of the world and have cried out for changes to be made.However in this case it is not the populace calling for it,is it?

[Dj_Jestar]

Censorship!

Oh, I thought you meant they had already passed a bill

 

[Macky]

Not stockpiled yet I presume?

 

[Overlag]

if theres no porn i would have to cancel my internet, i mean, what would be the point of it.

 

[Dj_Jestar]

There will be porn, you just have to ask for it...

 

[Pestilence]

I just hope that if they do ever manage to pass such a law, it be named "The Raincoat Bill".

I had to laugh, them stopping people downloading it isn't going to stop me making and uploading it...........

Exposing yourself on ChatRoulette doesn't count as "making porn".

You just can't technically stop porn - a fine display of how out-of-touch the decision-makers are.

Who said they are going to stop it?

It is you that is out of touch.. by not reading before posting.

eh...... yes..... well it only happened once or twice, but I will defend my right and all others who take part in online doggin to continue our harmless pastime...

 

[Abooie]

And thousands of non homing owning 16 year olds lads start weeping...

Personally if I had kids, I think I'd support something like this, assuming it's possible. It's far too easy for kids to get access to some stuff that they seriously should not see in their early years. I don't see why people are happy with a lack of hardcore porn on UK television yet bark and holler at the same setup on the internet.

Single students however...I can imagine them being devastated!

i've been exposed to pornography and the like since i was but a wee child and it's not affected me in the slightest.
