UK ISPs To Begin Censorship of Porn Websites

An anonymous reader writes "In a plan sponsored by the UK government, four major UK ISP's, Virgin, BT, TalkTalk and Sky, are set to implement blocking of porn websites, requiring subscribers to 'opt-in' if they want to visit blocked websites (or to put it another way, 'opt-out' of internet censorship)."

Indian guy: "So you wish to turn off Orange Security?"
Me: "Yes"
Indian Guy: "You don't like security?"
Me: "No...I don't..."
