    British Telecom Blocks Access to Child Porn Site

    British Telecom has taken the unprecedented step of blocking all illegal child pornography websites in a crackdown on abuse online. The decision by Britain's largest high-speed internet provider will lead to the first mass censorship of the web attempted in a Western democracy

    I think this is definitly a good decision but this leaves room to abuse from them ...

      Definately a good thing!

      Yea.. tis open to abuse, though probably not via BT - we have plenty "clout" there right at the top and they could not stand another session of "ear bashing" from us! BT are fine - ya just have to plow thru the crap "formalities" :-)

      But yea... this is a danger in some other areas/countries!

        this is not a good thing.

        sorry but they will come after something else next.

        bondage perhaps?

        isps should not have that right.

        what you do, someone else doesnt like, keep that in mind when placing judgement on others.

          ok, so if they know what the CP sites are... why dont they just go after them instead of blocking them? its like just ignoring someone breaking the law.
          the revolution is coming.

              its not my job to point out the negative side of this. in case you forgot, Ashhahahahaha is trying to do away with bondage too.

              if you cant see it maybe you should look again.

              they will always use the "children" to pass shit like this.

              webmasters who are for censorship, who would have thought.

              Dawgy is right on, instead of addresing the issue...they want you to feel more secure by restricting the net.

              first cp, then bondage, i dont need to explain this.

                As you know Fletch - all that stuff is down to people (individuals) in organisations - they can make or break any org. If ya got a total asshole at the top, there can be plenty problems. There is also the prospect of "policy" which may not exactly be the policy of the ISP, but some government shit imposed on them, whether formaly recognised/declared or not :-)

                You are right - it "could" be the thin edge of the wedge!

                      There are laws - use em!!

                      Sometimes... eg in an instance I won't say here, but the names are known on GFY, enforcement just leaves these sites up to "trade" a while - since there is much more involved and info to gather before acting - but they will act and there is no reason to be speaking to, or have the "input" from any ISP.

                        This is a good thing, until they start using it to block "domestic terrorist" sites that don't agree with the government.

                                                how could you possibly see this as negitive, it may be againts freedom of surfing but personally I sleep easier knowing that european sickos aren't jacking off to children

                                                well, that might be all and good but in the UK recently we had the family of a murdered woman (who willingly met a man for sex that included strangulation) demand the shut down of all sites that protray any violence against women - including bondage. So, while it might be a good thing in this one case it is worth watching to see what flood gates it opens.

                                                    That's the EXACT problem that lies beneath American Society. We play like Majority Rules, but that's just BS.

                                                    Exhibit A: We had Halloween parties taken away from our grammar school because some family (THE MINORITY) moved to town that had a problem with it.

                                                    Exhibit B: We had the Pledge of Allegiance pulled from our public schools because a MINORITY had a problem with its use of the word GOD (which this nation was founded under... which is what the pledge says...)

                                                    We bow to the minority in nearly every case. That'll come next in the internet. The MINORITY (let's face it, the vast majority of the cattle surfs porn... be it TV, Rentals, Internet) will eventually organize and come after the whole damn industry. We all know that porn is the backbone of the internet economy. But those radical few don't care. Their morals are more important.

                                                    End of rant...

                                                      sounds like a good idea. but why block access? shouldnt they just be shut down?

                                                        I don't like it.. sure who can argue with blocking CP sites, but really.. once you start down this path its easy to keep on going.

                                                        If they really want to crack down on kiddie porn.. take over some KP sites, and go after who joins.

                                                          i dont see a problem, they are blocking illegal content, if they knew about it and kept providing access to child porn they would be guilty of supplying it. as long as they are only blocking illegal stuff i think its a good move
