Theresa May to create new internet that would be controlled and regulated by government

The ridiculous censorship of "non-conventional" sex acts for example. Female ejaculation is bad but male ejaculation isn't?

Don't forget the four finger rule. Four or less fingers penetrated is okay; more than four, obscene and banned. I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall for that discussion, where a bunch of old duffers sit around a table discussing the arbitrary number of fingers which, when inserted into an orifice, is obscene.

It's hard to see a reality where the Tories aren't going to win this election. What it comes down to is ensuring they lose enough seats so they can't just push through ridiculous legislation uncontested.
 
That is when you get the website administration involved to outright ban them. Usually, the people who are this dedicated to internet harassment bring it to the real world, and then prosecution is fair game.

I think online world shouldn't be any different though, this half the problem where so many people disagree, since the internet is relatively new, we still don't know what were dealing with properly.

Precisely why I think you're as out of touch as these old politicians. You don't 'get it'. You fundamentally cannot regulate it like you can the real world, and all you are doing is ruining things for everyone else.
 
Pretty sure you can find that stuff easily if it's your thing..
Yeah but TM wants us to waste public money trying to ban it. ISPs are going to have to block entire domains if a single squirting video is found...

Essentially it's going to end up being a blanket ban on porn sites, because porn sites aren't going to start filtering individual videos for the UK market. More trouble than the ad revenue from the UK is worth.
 
Let's review this in a few years time and see what happens eh. Guarantee you, you'll still be able to find squirting videos, if thats what you want.

Wasting money? I'm sorry, i forgot about Tories and the mess the budget was left in the last time round, you do know were currently trying to cut our deficit, that's the whole mentality at the moment, why'd would they intentionally set out to waste money. So you think Labour won't waste any money? I mean, seriously..

You're missing the point. In a few years these laws will be in place and a we'll be debating new set of even more draconian laws. It's a gradual creep that has been going on for years that needs to stop.

The "non-conventional" sex acts thing is just one of many examples of how poorly thought out the Gov Internet policy is.
 
How long has it been going on? I can't see the creep personally, i find the internet in this country to be wholly open and free to use, unless you want to search for child pornography or something, which, as we've established, i'm all for regulation on that part.
 
That's the point of gradually creeping more restrictions. So that your average person hopefully does not notice.

The RIPA, the IPA, getting rid of the Human Rights Act, banning some website content that some MP somewhere has decided is "bad". Etc etc etc etc.

Not sure how many other ways we can say it.

Which would mean two scenarios.

1. The legislation was dropped because it was unworkable/stupid.
2. The legislation was unable to be enforced.

Either way, how is it good policy?

There won't be any creep here. If ISPs return block pages on porn sites, that will be very visible to all male voters!

But if you had that view with everything that was difficult, you'd just give up.
You've got to try before knowing whether it will succeed or not.

Some things have a realistic prospect of succeeding and making a difference, some things are plainly just a waste of time. You've pretty much agreed already that this is the latter, by saying you're sure the ban won't be effective.
