I still refuse that was not a wind up, or that he hadn't been hitting his own home brew before posting on Twitter

How do you mean? Bing is still (far too much so) willing to give explicit results. Even for fairly benign search terms

Using Bing through certain ISPs will disable to ability to turn off safesearch. I know my android tablet through Sky does this. An android phone through 4g doesn't.

Are you sure you just don't have the adult content lock on the Sky account?

Sky has a content filter that you need to disable for unfiltered access to the web. It is in account settings iirc.

Several have tried to use the Bing browser and been met with "content has been blocked in your country or region" with no way of switching off the safesearch. An ISP block would direct you to the site but come up with a block on the actual URL.

I've seen no official announcement by Microsoft bringing this in, but it's the same blocking system that's in place for Arabic states.

Wife works in a Primary school where there have been a number of porn related incidents over the last couple of years.

A savvy older kid will get around this if they are clever. However I welcome the restrictions, as there have been incidents of kids as young as 6 seeing the full extent of what the web has to offer and then other cases of incidents of kids acting out what they had seen on other children and their younger siblings.

Being 40 Page 3 was probably the worst thing I had seen by the time I was 8-9 but this is another world now. This material clearly does warp young minds.

Yes which is annoying and completely ineffective unless they made changes to it as it doesnt block anything on a lot of social media sites and un-filtered image/video/media sites.

I would have a guess that the times where people are exposed to the type of content that parents/others dont want them to see are on on social media/youtube/etc non filtered sites.

An ISP's filter as the only line of defence is not effective and easy to get around which is also what this whole AgeID system will be also.

There'll be a trend of hand car wash places being turned back into petrol stations just for the filthy magazine trade.

The female ejaculation is the only part i disagree with. Especially since men will be allowed to ejaculate all over the women, yet some how women can't ejaculate?

TBH, would be nice if they banned the nasty face-shot stuff, nobody wants to see that filth and its entire purpsoe is to degrade woemn.

Lol.

Who uses Bing? Use Ixquick then it's all anonymous

There are websites which will put together fake details for you lol. Like this one including a working temporary email address: https://www.fakeaddressgenerator.com/World/uk_address_generator

Then all someone needs is a pay as you go sim from any phone shop, registered to the fake address to verify.

either the parents failure or this wont stop it anyway.

I doubt they will even need to be clever to get around it for a start.

porn warps young minds? but I assume violence and death in movies is fine

I don't see how they can just stop you using a VPN as things stand, way easier than fake addresses and pay as you go sims.

The left will be going out of their minds when everyones testosterone levels shoot up and men start acting like men again. I can see it now with all of the articles about toxic masculinity.

They can't stop VPNs really, even if they wanted to. It's easier to hide them and make them look like other traffic than block them. Even the great firewall of China can't stop all of them.
