David Cameron 'Orders New Curbs On Internet Porn'

First time accepted submitter fustakrakich writes with news reported in The Telegraph of new anti-pornography regulations ordered by UK Prime Minister David Cameron: "The new measures will mean that in future anyone buying a new computer or signing up with a new internet service provider (ISP) will be asked, when they log on for the first time, whether they have children. If the answer is "yes", the parent will be taken through the process of installing anti-pornography filters, as well as a series of questions on how stringent they wish the restrictions to be, according to a newspaper."

This Will Certainly Work

Finally, internet pornography will be thwarted, and David Cameron will go down in history.

Just kids?

[Roger W Moore]

I'm actually surprised that it just asks for kids. Given their established record I would have thought the question should really be "Do you have any kids or MPs in the house?".

It's secretly just a plan to improve education

[Art Challenor]

A brilliant move to improve public computer education in the UK. Now kids will have incentive to learn networking, system administration, and generally how the internet works in order to defeat the feature. A much better, practical lesson, than they'd ever get in formal classroom training - and it's free to the governemnt.

And normally, you'd be able to ask the nerdy Linux kid to fix your computer for you, but what interest would they have in porn?

With a UID as low as 137 I would not rule out old age.
