If you live in the U.K. you better not enjoy porn...

Simple truth is it wont this is more to do with the fact that he simply just doesn't like porn. But this isn't only for porn but other content such as violence. But I really am not sure how well that will work out. I mean porn is around quite a bit on the internet on sites that aren't porn sites such as social networking sites. hmm drawing the line with all this seems to be difficult.

Oh and if you are worried about that, that is what proxies are for :)

@theacidskull: NEVER!!!!!

F*ck., what am I going to do?

"Most households in the UK will have pornography blocked by their internet provider unless they choose to receive it,"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23401076

I don't see where the problem is, a quick call to my provider to opt out of the ban, and all is right with the world.

The UK sucks anyway, I don't care about the Royal couple's new born child.

Neither do half of us who live here dude.

Just read this in the paper today (yes, I read an actual paper, you heathens)....least they're giving you the option.

I can understand why they're doing this but honestly, the biggest threat is the people who make abusive pornographic material and post it on the Internet, not the people's ability to access it. Cameron needs to target them over our ability to view pornography. Typical useless David can't do much right it would seem. Hes' impinging on censorship and not targeting the people responsible for the material. Such a waste.

Seems to me he is targeting pornography more so as opposed to pedophilia. I cant understand how censoring the internet is the right answer to tackle the problem.

Exactly my concern as well. Censoring the Internet is not only a poor censorship move but it won't actually tackle the problem. Especially since people can just opt their Internet Provider to allow it.

Does that mean the world would then have less wankers?

Well, this f*cking sucks :P

This is definitely a good move. After all, sexually suppressing young people has never led to anything bad ever.

Yeah I am concerned how further they will try to take it in regards to how much they will try to censor the internet. Its not just pornography that this filter, filters out but other things such as violence. Basically if people sign up to this they are signing up to have their internet censored.

I'm glad that I don't live in the UK.

@optimuspalm: That's strange, the Media is making it look like all of y'all are out there Partying and what not.

If I lived in the UK I would be getting rid of my laptop now since I would no longer need it....Comic Vine is just a break between porn

Cameron's planning to censor more than pornography? This could definitely go wrong if he manages to do that.

That's the other half of the people whom live here lol

Yup he is. Again we have a choice if we basically want to keep our internet as it currently is or we can have the censored version. I do wonder how this will all pan out in the upcoming months though. I am worried the attention on this issue will fade away due to all the attention on the royal baby being born. I am not one for conspiracies or anything but we should be concerned how this could snowball.

It's quite depressing we're more concerned about the birth of one baby, no matter what his position in society over more important stories such as this one. But Cameron's probably hedging his bets on the royal baby story taking attention away from this one.

@optimuspalm: Damn... Sure fooled me, sorry about that. I though y'all were like super-pious fanboys/girls about it, and stuff like this topic is happening. :(

@cybrilious4: No. But there are clearly A LOT of people like that here. Dont get me wrong, i'm not 'anti Britain'.....i'm more like 'anti bandwagon'

That is what the media does. Most people just really don't care well in the UK at least. America on the other hand :p

Indeed. I hope it wont though.

@mrdecepticonleader: Hey America is a good country, I just don't agree will a lot of decisions they make, like suck up to countries like Israel, Britian, when clearly there the "bad guys" of the world.

Looks like strip clubs and prostitutes are going to enjoy some extra revenue.

EDIT

lol why is it a big deal, you can enable porn if you ask your provider. Honestly, if i was a dad who had a +14 teenager in the house i would ask for porn to be enable because i don't want to put my son / daughter through that. Dammit Porn helped me through highschool!

I was talking more in line in regards to how the US views the royal family. :p

I can't stand Cameron anymore, I'm moving to Canada

@mrdecepticonleader: How? From what I see our country sucks up to them, it's disgusting!!

I don't know what I find funnier the fact that this is actually being passed or the fact that they actually believe they can police this. ISP's have blocked Pirate sites in Britain and yet they can still be accessed via proxies etc.... with ease. What hope do they actually have of enforcing this lol?

That is what I meant. The US seems to like the royal family.

@cybrilious4: If anything the US is just as bad as the UK, if not worse. other than that I do agree that there are many bad people in the world that go unchecked simply because they don't fit conflict with the interests of these countries.

Yeah, this is a worrying step. What's next? Soon he'll be bowing down to every pressure group out there, granted, there's a lot of crap and terrible people on the internet but it's still supposed to be a place to express yourself freely.

Yeah I mean there is a fine line between this. And I do wonder how this will all pan out.

Abstinence is a bitch. My thoughts go out for the young teenagers over at the U.K.

@x_titans: that's pretty harsh to say about America

@cybrilious4: Well, America sucks.

@limpoyzloan: Well, America solos the world.

Fixed ;)

- Watch what you say bro

@cybrilious4: America soloes the world my ass. We'd get sh*t stomped by China alone.

@limpoyzloan: Only in a cyber war.

Too bad for the U.K.

Maybe the Puritanical movement is making a comeback.

@cybrilious4: How so?

@x_titans: I mean, America allows more freedom of speech then Britain does, if you say the Royals suck, you go to jail. Plus the I've heard the last wedding cost over billions of dollars out of the citizen's taxes. That's harsh

Surprised no-one's posted this yet :P

@cybrilious4 *cough* NSA *cough*

I don't see the problem -- everyone is reacting to a censorship that is not there. You have the option to enact the filter, or not.

Lots of noise about nothing. I think it's a great idea. Everyone complains that porn is easy for young kids to get their hands on, something is being attempted to address that and people scream censorship? Read the article -- do your own research -- it's pretty obvious.

Some people may not have that choice if there parents don't allow it

Well I have researched into this more and the entire thing just seems pointless. Not sure how the filter will be implemented either.

Not to mention the fact that this filter will become default and it will actually filter things out that aren't pornographic such as medical stuff and websites and research regarding sexuality. Cameron even admitted this will cause problems. And yeah I am concerned about this snowballing too.
