A tough new crackdown to help parents
 

A tough new crackdown to help parents protect their children from internet porn will be unveiled today by David Cameron.

Four of Britain?s biggest internet service providers will force customers to specify if they want to view explicit sites.

Subscribers to BT, Sky, Talk Talk and Virgin who do not opt in will have no access to internet porn.

Wrecking childhood: Parents will have to specify whether they want explicit sites to be viewable on family computers under new measures to be announced today
The breakthrough is expected to be announced by the Prime Minister as the centrepiece of a crackdown on the sexualisation of childhood.

Other moves will include restrictions on billboards plastered with images of scantily-clad models and aggressive advertising campaigns.

There will also be a new website called Parentport on which parents can complain about any TV programme, advertisement, product or service they feel is inappropriate for children.

good thing I live in the land of the free......oh wait they took away my freedoms a long time ago :(

problem is, ven if you live outside the uk, your still going to loose customers as a lot from the uk would buy porn.

whats wrong with porn

What young kid should think fucking a girls face until she pukes or tagging her ass with a friend then pissing on her face isn't normal?

.

This aint anything new really. They allready do it with mobile phones and dongles. I purchased a dongle just for use on the go and I had to ring up and ask for the content block to be taken off. I couldent even get onto youtube lol.


It would be nice to see that crappy newspaper they call The Sun go down the shit hole though hopefully they will be stopped from printing all their crappy untrue sex stories and pics

I own p arentport .org what should I do with it?

Bad precident

Won't work. The standard mobile phone filter blocks so much the internet becomes unusable so every customer gets it removed whether they want porn or not.

I called it in 1997. Next it will be a crime to have a computer without the block accessible to anyone under 18.

people trying to baby proof the world to compensate for bad parents

Cool idea if you think about it.

For example : Anyone too ashamed of porn to opt in is also too ashamed to use a CC to
sign up. So that means less freeloading on my websites from people who never join
my sponsors.

Wrecking childhood?

LOL!

Were any of these lawmakers ever young boys themselves? When I was a kid I had a bunch of nasty "stag" magazines that I found in my dad's closet. I jerked off 10 times a day every day! LOL!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with kids being curious about things. And god only knows that once someone hits puberty it starts getting crazy. More sexual hormones than you can imagine were running through my pimply faced 14 year old body back in the day! I once fucked a hole in a tree I was so horny! lol

Watching sex happen isn't going to "wreck childhoods". The only ones who have a problem with it are adults who THINK it's going to "hurt" their kids because we are all raised to be ashamed of nudity and sex in a repressed society.

It's like: "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T LET THOSE KIDS SEE PEOPLE FUCKING! OR EVEN JANET JACKSON'S TITS! Thank goodness we stopped Junior from seeing any nasty, horrible, childhood wrecking sexual activity. Now go play your violent video games and later I'll take you to the movies to see the latest SAW sequel"

Conspiracy theorists would argue that this isn't about protecting children from porn. They would say the UK government simply wants to put a system in place they can later use to censor anything they don't approve of.
Whether or not this may be the case, the fact is that in countries that have already implemented a porn filter (like Australia for example), government officials have already been caught adding political and alternative news sites to the block list.

i dribbled a stream of wet juicy watery poo from my ass as I read this post... I'm sat in it. It feels good... That is all... Good luck with your sensord-shit

so the UK will be blocking the dotxxx tld?

"However, the campaign being introduced by the Prime Minister differs in that content will be blocked when a customer pays for a new internet package from a service provider."

It's only when you takeout a new internet package so it will be a gradual very slow drip drip effect. It's because retards like DVT don't put the RTA meta tags on any of their sites so parents can't block his shit even if they wanted to.

Wow. So is porn to blame for the upswing in pregnancy of kids under 15??

Exactly. The only kids looking at porn are the ones actively seeking it.

And those meta tags do what exactly? Block innocent kids from accidentally clicking porn sites? Of course they don't, has anyone in the last 5 years ever 'accidentally' seen porn when they weren't expecting it?

The only people who see porn are people looking for porn.

this is mental i have never found porn when looking for anything else you only find porn when i want to its not like i type in lego star wars and the top result is intaracial shemale bukkake
just use a prxoy that's what i did at school

Customers of major Internet service providers in Great Britain will have the option to block access to adult content online as part of measures aimed at helping parents protect their children from sexually explicit material, according to published reports.

Subscribers to BT, Sky, Talk Talk and Virgin will have to "opt-in" to access porn sites under the new plans, British Prime Minister David Cameron will announce on Tuesday.

Cameron is also expected to announce the creation of a new website called Parentport, on which parents can complain about any TV show, advertisement or product that they feel is inappropriate for children, according to a report in The Independent.

The move is as a result of a report by Reg Bailey, chief executive of the Mothers' Union charity, which recommended shielding children from adult-themed imagery, the story said.

Other measures are expected to include restrictions on billboards of scantily-clad models.

It's never been about the kids, it's lazy parents looking for excusses, and jelous spouses...

Who's talking about porn ? I was on about DVT's websites :) But seriously the point is that there exists now a way to "protect" kids or whoever, we can flag our sites with meta tags and parents can control the browser settings. Fact is most parents probably don't and most adult websites don't so that's why we end up with these blanket bans and blocks.

What is this shit and what the fuck it means?
How the hell web will be filtered? Will connections go through some kind of server with filtering software or what? Will I not have access to my own websites by default in the UK lol? I'm actually out of adult long time ago but I still have a few sites left there. I don't like the whole idea. How will they control what content people access? This whole thing stinks with web surveillance. Any idea when it will go live?

Anyone have more info about technical side of this?

probably a basic dns block. cheap and easy for them to implement. easy to circumvent.

Isn't this the same country that has pics of topless chicks in their newspapers? :1orglaugh

soon they'll have to start selling those in brown envelopes :)

No way, all porn should be available everywhere all over so we can make as much money as possible. :1orglaugh :error

I know, it's like its 1599 again or something! :1orglaugh

How do they even define what is and isn't porn?
Are they going to block Wikipedia because there are plenty of porn-related articles there.
