First they came for the porn stars: the problem with an online filter
 

A few days ago, Conservatives received an email from David Cameron Himself, boasting of his new porn filter, a filter that will ?protect childhood itself?. Underneath his signature, written in teeny-tiny text, was the message: ?Blocked by your spam filter? Add [email protected]? to your address book.? Even the best filters still catch out the morally pure.

The Co-op supermarket have implemented a filter of their own, demanding that lads? mags be delivered in opaque modesty bags. The move comes after pressure from campaigns like ?Lose the Lads? Mags? run by Object and Feminista, who would prefer it if the Co-op would stop selling such titles altogether. Their spokesperson referred to the bags as ?misogyny bags?, which is the point where the logic of their campaign falls apart.
