UK Gov't Wants To Block Internet Porn By Default 642
airfoobar writes "Yet another country wants to 'protect the children' by blocking all internet porn — not just child porn, all porn. The British gov will talk with ISPs next month to ask them to make porn blocking mandatory (and they appear more than happy to comply). As an effect, adults who want to access pornography through their internet connections will have to 'opt in.' Their rationale is that if ISPs have managed to block all child porn, they'll also be able to block all other porn as well."

You just looked at ASCII Child porn. You should be ashamed of yourself.

after all they pulled kids off missing children cases so they can go after IP issues.
They were using kids to investigate missing child cases? Is this why nothing ever gets done in government?

I'm sorry if this bursts the fantasy bubble of some readers, but... ASCII was born in 1963.
But man, Unicode porn... And it's already legal in many jurisdictions!

There's money in hijacking typo domains. A few years ago I meant to go to www.gamefaqs.com, accidentally typed www.gamefaws.com and ended up on a gay porn site.
Damn those www.gamefaws.com hijackers... always trying to steal users from my www.gamefags.com domain!!!

I can't believe you just implied that Northern Irish children are too stupid to use a VPN.
Shame on you! It's people like you that cause Troubles!
