ISPs To Censor Porn By Default In the UK By 2014

Posted by timothy on from the registered-medical-exceptions-only dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Parental filters for pornographic content will come as a default setting for all homes in the UK by the end of 2013, says David Cameron's special advisor on preventing the sexualization and commercialization of childhood, Claire Perry MP. Internet service providers will be expected to provide filtering technology to new and existing customers with an emphasis on opting out, rather than opting in."

    This is an interesting job title:

    Special advisor on preventing the sexualization and commercialization of childhood

    Will she also be proposing that UK homes have AdBlock on by default by 2014, to ensure that kids don't get too many ads targeted at them?

  2. Sue them whenever they fail to censor anything by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Anybody with children. Please, the moment they start the censorship, sue them whenever you discover that your child has found any porn at all. If they start censoring, make them liable for their failure to censor well. With some luck they will have to quit trying.
