No Porn From Public WiFi Hotspots In the UK Proposed

Posted by samzenpus on from the waiting-for-the-bus dept.

whoever57 writes "Prime Minister David Cameron is proposing that porn should not be available through WiFi hotspots in public areas. Exactly how this will be implemented has not been identified, even to the extent of whether the ISP or the hotspot operator should implement the blocking. From the article: ' The Prime Minister said: “We are promoting good, clean, WiFi in local cafes and elsewhere to make sure that people have confidence in public WiFi systems so that they are not going to see things they shouldn’t.” His intervention comes after a long-running campaign from children’s charities to ensure a blanket ban on unacceptable sites on public WiFi networks.'"

      It'll be much simpler just to ban children from cafes.

      They've got no business drinking coffee at their age anyway.

      I'm sure there's a joke about the catholic church somewhere in there.

    Yes, but until they decide to start using their own language rather than piggy back on ours I think it's fair to remind them what words actually mean.
