Porn to be blocked!!

[XXTickerXX 10]

Online pornography to be blocked by default, PM to announce.

Customers who do not click on either option - accepting or declining - will have filters activated by default, Tory MP Claire Perry, Mr Cameron's adviser on the sexualisation and commercialisation of childhood, told the BBC.

 

Other measures expected to be announced by the prime minister include:

 

New laws so videos streamed online in the UK will be subject to the same restrictions as those sold in shops

Search engines will be given until October to introduce further measures to block illegal content. They have a "moral duty" to block illegal content, Mr Cameron will say

He will also call for warning pages to pop up with helpline numbers when people try to search for illegal content

Experts from the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre will be given more powers to examine secretive file-sharing networks

A secure database of banned child porn images gathered by police across the country will be used to trace illegal content and the paedophiles viewing it

 

Boys being boys they will now access porn through proxies and the deep web. You might not know how to access these, but I absolutely guarantee you that your kids do.

 

There, where all the child porn now lives, they will encounter stuff that is truly nasty and damaging and untracable.

 

"The next step is working with experts.."

 

What is so hard about clicking on "Tools" - "Internet Options - "Content" then using the slider / specific content blocks?

 

Surely the FIRST step should have been working with experts - all of whom would have told him it's unworkable.

 

I wonder what they will class as "porn". Back to 1920 levels I guess.

 

It takes me nearly 10 seconds to update a bookmark when they block a file sharing site I use.

 

How many kids will ask their parents to remove the filter!! No they will just learn to use the deep web which is untraceable and then no one can find what they are up to. If you are dumb enough to hand over technology to a child that you yourself don't understand, you're not up to the job.

 

This government truly is stupid with no clue how the internet works.

 

 

Welcome to Big Brother.

What the hell is the deep web?

 

How long before they just get a bunch of Chinese people in and sling up a massive firewall of our own?

[WeX 10]

this is not big brother at all. There are things that are banned in the real world too. Just because you can find them if you look hard enough doesn't mean they should be freely available to anyone no matter what.

 

A porn website is currently just as obvious on the internet as M&S is on the high street. This has to be wrong, unless you see nothing wrong with a live sex show club being situated right in the middle of Fargate.

 

And for the record, big brother is about total control of a persons life, not singling out one aspect of society that really should be censored as it is in the real world.

Welcome to Big Brother.

 

*Ahem*

 

She [Julia] had even (an infallible mark of good reputation) been picked out to work in Pornosec, the sub-section of the Fiction Department which turned out cheap pornography for distribution among the proles. It was nicknamed Muck House by the people who worked in it, she remarked. There she had remained for a year, helping to produce booklets in sealed packets with titles like Spanking Stories or One Night in a Girls' School, to be bought furtively by proletarian youths who were under the impression that they were buying something illegal.

George Orwell, 1984

 

In 1984 Big Brother produces the porn.

 

 

This might strike a chord with some:

 

There was a whole chain of separate departments dealing with proletarian literature, music, drama, and entertainment generally. Here were produced rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime and astrology, sensational five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by mechanical means on a special kind of kaleidoscope known as a versificator.

 

Sound familiar? Some of the Hollywood films I'm seen lately certainly feel like they've been produced on a "versificator".

Fair enough but pornography isn't the only thing to corrode childhood. Over protective parents and an exam orientated school system wont be helping. Poor little sods aren't allowed to be children.

It's not big brother at all. It's a step in the right direction, if you ask me.

 

I think more needs to be done because I agree with you, children will access porn via any means necessary and this could lead to them seeing things that are too hardcore.

 

I think a system where all adult sites are blocked, but the user chooses certain sites that can be accessed.

 

I wouldn't want to block porn from my son, once he's old enough to understand the whole thing, however old that might be.

 

But the materiel that can be accessed these days is FAR different from the dirty mags and odd video that we used to have access to, back in the day!

Perhaps, or perhaps its just the politicians want to be seen to do the right thing; but in practice it will acheive nothing.

This would be the 'wahay day' would it

[alchresearch 214]

I question some of the Helen Lovejoy "won't somebody think of the children" rhetoric that's been bandied about regarding this. For example:

 

the killers of schoolgirls April Jones and Tia Sharp had accessed legal pornography before moving on to images of child abuse.

 

Does that mean everyone who looks at online porn will move on to harder material?

 

Is it really a "gateway" thing like with drugs?

 

How many people look at illegal porn and never go on to attack and kill?

 

Until we get some real statistics, we'll never know. But who is going to willingly admit to what they view?

 

But on the other hand, it really doesn't have a place in society, online or offline.

 

Bring back the stashes of mucky books discarded on country lanes!

Yeah a missing feature of my childhood, and the glue bags and white dog muck!

Oh yes it will. Even if it only succeeds in raising awareness to what innocent children can be exposed to, and how they can be so easily exploited. At least the PM is showing some concern.
