British Government Proposes Universal Ban on Net Porn

[S_K]

"only make them available to customers who specifically request it"

FUUuuuuuuuuuuuu... australian CENSORSHIP! DO NOT WANT

Oh, for god's sake!!! They'll restrict OAPD (oxygen allowance per day) next!! This is pathetic; although having ten year olds being able to have quick peek a youporn is not recommendable, pornography allows youths to vent their sexual frustration rather than suppress it and either cause irreparable psychological damage or make them randy as hell - leading to underage sex and inevitably teenage pregnancy. Hmmm...I wonder what is a big problem in the UK right now...gee, I don't know cos the government STOLE MY BRAIN!! We have such a problem with teenage pregnancy and such cos we treat sex as such a big deal and as something that is wrong and bad. If we were more open about sex in the UK, people might not be trying at 12 years old!!

If this goes through, I'm gonna stab myself in the face.

They'll likely block 4chan, and that means I'll have no where else to spend my time but here and facebook.

God damnit, it's gonna be so boring.

To be fair, I have a feeling TalkTalk will tell them to go away so hopefully I'll be able to get a switch as BT hasn't been doing so great for me anyway.

Is it just me, or is the amount of absolutely bat-shit crazy laws being proposed globally going up? Because this is starting to get really, really old.

So whats to stop them from going back to porno mags then? Or books with sexual content, like the Karma Sutra?

That A) costs money and B) isn't a private hidden matter

This creates a new criminal, the porn dealer.
Standing on street corners selling USBs full of porn. £10 a gig.

Bang.

That's pretty much what they're going to create if this actually works somehow and I know that criminal groups are going to be all over this as a source of new income for them.

The kids could just take from their parent's stash. Or their friend's.

None of them have a stash because of the internet.

Conservative economic views: Okay, makes sense I suppose.
Conservative social views: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP!!!!

They're parents might.

Plus they could get word of this, then download all the porn the could which gives them their own stash.

I honestly didn't think I was able to hate the Conservative Government any more than I already did. Seriously, these people put Michael motherfucking Gove as the education secretary, they turn the Lib Dems into nothing more than their Morality Pet for the masses, Student Loan rises, what amounts to health care privitisation, these things are not evidence of an economic solution to our countrie's problems they are indicitive of an overall mindset not suited to this day and age.

And this is just more of the same. The Conservatives do not seem to understand anything about anyone who wasn't born with a fucking silver spoon in their mouth. They are primped, prissy, ivory tower Oxbridge graduating fuckskulls who have not the slightest grasp on reality of any sort.

Not only am I pissed about this from the standpoint of general control of the populace, but I am deeply worried about the ramifications of the government having direct access to your internet preferences, which should scare anyone with half a brain.

Fuck the Conservatives, fuck all their ministers, and fuck their old-man government which dreams of a rose-tinted past we never. FUCKING. HAD!

Well said good man, well said. From your opinions I'm going to assume that you're the type to attend the protests?
But I second this view very much indeed, and, in all honesty, this probably pisses me off just as much as the student protests. You shouldn't ban stuff, no matter how "bad" it is. (Yes, I do believe that this includes all the stupid shit crazy fuckheads throw up, but I still think that banning is no good what-so-ever. Ever.)
Anyway. I'm hoping that -something- will be done about the student fees by the time I get around to uni (I'm 16 and 2 years away from it), because I'm working my bollocks off to attempt Cambridge. If Cambridge goes private, as has been talked about and suggested, my plans go up in flames/down the toilet/pick or choose a phrase conveying the most utter crapsack shite that you can think of.
So yeah. I, and my friends, are rather... aggravated... At the Con-Dems. (Especially Clegg. Fucking liar...)

"Unfortunately, It's technically not possible to completely block this stuff," said Trefor Davies, chief technology officer at ISP Timico.

It's technically not possible to completely block sites that contain child pornography but UK ISPs do it anyway based on a list compiled by the Internet Watch Foundation. So I'm not sure whether you're suggesting the UK abandon its policy of trying to block kiddie porn sites or just that the UK government would never, ever consider implementing a similar idea for regular porn, but either way I don't think I'd share your confidence that there's no way something indescribably stupid could emerge from the meetings between Vaizey and your ISPs.

Which, by the way, is still taking place.

Their parents won't either, because of the internet.

In which case the parents would download some for themselves. Unless they ask to have porn for themselves.

In which case kids would get into it anyway.

Sex is natrual.
Porn = spreading something natural.

I don't see why adults should be denied it?
