From next year people will have to opt in if they want their internet service provider to allow them access to pornography at home. Asked by BBC Radio what that would mean for those who may access such content without their partner knowing, Mr Cameron said they were "going to have to have a discussion" about their surfing habits. US President Barack Obama is closely watching Britain's moves to block abusive images from being seen, and to track down those responsible for making them. Google and Microsoft today bowed to pressure to rewrite their software to block 100,000 search terms used by paedophiles to access illegal material. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midnite-Energies 110563 Report post Posted November 23, 2013 I have to say as much as I love the UK, they are REALLY starting to scare me. This new Prime Minister is very big on sterilizing the country and is putting plans into place that I'm sure the world is keeping an eye on. I read an article about a new plan for January where it boils down to a "thought crime". You don't have to act to make it a crime if it's something on the "bad" list. Definitely keeping an eye on this craziness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gia Wren Marlowe 67985 Report post Posted November 23, 2013 There is currently a petition going around to impose this same filter in Canada. I imagine it will also impact escort sites. If it goes through it looks like clients who want to view our sites will have to contact their internet service provider to opt in to seeing porn and adult-related websites. They can just say they want to look at porn, now and then, but it will make an awkward and likely guilt-ridden conversation with a significant other, indeed. I see a lot of other problems with this proposal, but first and foremost I do wonder how it will impact business, and client's lives. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cato 160314 Report post Posted November 23, 2013 While it doesn't affect me in my own personal situation, I object to this measure on several levels: the underlying puritanism and social conservatism, the increased surveillance and the ongoing assault on privacy. It's bad politics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, it means they're going to have a conversation with their friends about proxies and VPNs and the appropriate usage thereof. There is no reason to sell your Kleenex shares just yet, folks :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VPN or proxy is not a terrible idea for day to day enjoyment either (most already likely use private browsing). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
