UK Gov. Wants IWF List To Cover 100% of UK Broadband
wild_quinine writes "The UK government stated in 2006 that they wished to see 100% of UK consumer broadband ISPs' connections covered by blocking, which includes images of child abuse. 95% of ISPs have complied, but children's charities are calling for firmer action by the government as the last 5% cite costs and concerns over the effectiveness of the system. According to Home Office Minister Alan Campbell, 'The government is currently looking at ways to progress the final 5%.' With a lack of transparency in the IWF list, firm government involvement, and blocking that only 'includes' (but may not be limited to) images of child abuse, it looks like the writing is on the wall for unfiltered, uncensored Internet connections in the UK."
I don't quite follow why everyone is against putting in legislation. I'm not saying I am, i just don't quite follow what the issue is....
So they try and block all child porn - job well done, no?
Yes it doesn't stop the underlying porn existing, but if no one can get at it, then that will filter through to less people making it, no?
I'm just confused as to what all the uproar is about? (as in an honest question - not trying to take a stupid position...)
To correct you fallacy about pedophiles. There is no cure or therapy that works for them. Even the popular "castrate the buggers" does nothing except force them to violate children using objects. When they started using depro to "chemically castrate" sex offenders, they would go find a doctor and get testosterone shots to offset the depro. Pedophiles and homosexuals are not the same thing, but they have they same characteristics in that the orientation can not be "cured" or changed. The biggest difference is that homosexual don't harm anyone, while pedophiles do. The only cure for pedophilia is a bullet in the back of the head. that cures them immediately and they never suffer a relapse.
