British Prime Minister Promises Default On Porn Blocking

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-more-rule-34 dept.

judgecorp writes "David Cameron, the British Prime Minister has promised that the UK's ISPs will be required to provide connections with 'porn blocking' filters switched on by default.. The public promise comes despite opposition from ISPs, and the near-universal acknowledgment that the system wouldn't work. Last week also saw the leak of a letter from the Department for Education which effectively told ISPs to lie — to implement their preferred 'active choice' system, and simply call it 'default-on'."

      That's weird, all I see is a bunch of cunts. Must be the filter.

    The crucial point is that if no porn is available, the boys will just wank off the photos of clothed models and celebrities as they did before the Internet was widely available

    Wouldn't Rule 34 imply that the whole Internet would have to be filtered out under this scheme?
