Cameron said:
"I'm not making this speech because I want to moralize or scare-monger...
He says right after doing BOTH OF THOSE THINGS.
You aren't fooling anyone here, Cameron.

...but because I feel profoundly as a politician, and as a father, that the time for action has come. This is, quite simply, about how we protect our children and their innocence."
Oh yes. "Save teh childrens!" Because that has just been a colossal boon for humanity since its inception...
At least the adults who want their legal adult content have some say in the matter. For now anyway.

The only poisonous and corruptive influence I've ever had in my life was going to school. The only thing I took away from my education was that you can do anything you want as long as you're on the majority side.

Ladies and Gentlemen, British SOPA has come.

Also, have we got any clerical way of telling what is or isn't a Porn site? I mean this filter could end up damaging more sites than you possibly think it would.

Proof again that Cameron is a moron, and should be booted out of office by way of revolution.

You'll excuse me, I'm sure, if I don't take any parenting advice about protecting any fruit of my loins from the big bad internet from a guy who famously left his own daughter in the pub.

It's parental, not governmental, responsibility to monitor what your child does online.

If you, as a parent, can't take reasonable precautions to make sure they're not subject to the types of people online who'll happily take advantage of said child to further their own ends, well, that's what the foster care programme is for.

The government in the UK needs to stop making it's policies based on the scaremongering of tabloid newspapers looking for sales.

Would any Brits who laughed at the USA being so "backwards" and "conservative" under George Bush like to make that statement now? I present now is the optimal time for Brits to talk about how backwards the USA is. Please render your judgement on us.
Because now that our Prime Minister is suddenly being a massive twat, America is like a golden saint of freedom, huh? Let's not forget about the whole PRISM business.
I doesn't matter anyway, he's going to lose the next election, and this isn't going to work.

B-B-BUT T-THE CHILDREN! THINK OF THE CHILDREN.
Why do politicians need to keep pulling this shit? BAN GUNS, BECAUSE OF THE CHILDREN, ban kinder eggs because some mongloid tard might choke on the plastic toy, ban dodge ball because muh feelings, ban little red riding hood because god forbid some body has the freedom to get pissed every once in a while.

But now they're taking our PORN?! This is bullshit, what about that grotesque violence that is spewed from every orifice of the media? Two people fucking, an act of intimacy and love might I add, over someone's brains being bludgeoned in whether it be virtual? What shit is this?

Holy shit the western would is becoming one big whiny pussy.

Huh... A politician in my country made a comment, last year, about how he'd liked there to be a universal pornography filter in place. British media chose to interpret that as serious move on our part to implement a national porn filter. Naturally, this was accompanied by a floodwave of British commenters, making fun of our repressive bakwards ways. Of course, nothing came out of it; the guy didn't even get a chance to put forth a motion before it was shot down.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm just gonna sit back here and appreciate the irony.

They were prolly thinking something like this: "screw our debts, let's block porn just for the sake off being an arse".

The amount of censorship going on right now is really scary... Wonder how long before someone does anything about it. More importantly, I wonder when these ignorant authority-holders will finally die off so someone reasonable can gain power?

Okay my views have already been expressed better than I can put them in this so far 8 page thread so I'm just gonna ask: how can I still watch porn? I wanna keep watching porn I'm sexually frustrated and young I want porn.

The Problem with this isn't what they're trying to ban, since you can ask for the filter to be turned off.

The Problem with this is that it's censorship and is going to pave the way for more censorship. Instead of a calm and rational argument, I am just going to change this idiot asshole's[footnote]And he must be an asshole, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten so far up in the political hierarchy. Non-assholes just think "fuck it, I don't want to put up with this shit" somewhere around the middle.[/footnote] quote:

"I want to talk about Cameron, and the impact a 50cal bullet would have on his head."

This is how I feel about this. And now I'm going to make a meme about it, maybe then I'll calm down a bit.

Government censorship is wrong. Not only is the government not my children's parents, they are not MY parents either. Who can decide what's "Adult Content?" Let's see, say I've just been appointed to the leadership role of the organization that decides this stuff. Aaand I'm a devout Sikh. I ban the porn, because I believe it's immoral. Nobody wants their kids to watch porn, right? Let's ban the violence, too. No war movies, because we don't want our kids to be violent, right? Hmmm, as a Sikh I'm a monotheist, and I believe that Polytheism is false, so people who follow that might be in danger of some form of damnation, right? For their own good, ban anything polytheistic. Oh, and technically I consider religions with a Devil as Polytheistic, even though they don't consider the Devil to be a god. So we've taken out pretty much everything besides Sikhism and Buddhism. Ban the Anime; it frequently has sexuality, demons, giant robots killing people... Ban Sesame Street: Ernie and Bert might be interpreted as homosexuals. It can get absurd.

DISCLAIMER: Sikhs wouldn't do this kind of stuff. I used them as my example because they're really meek, nice people, and don't freak out when you mention their religion and threaten to blow up your country like SOME religions that are famous for their draconian, unjust, acid-throwing on women ways.

Somebody please put this guy out of our collective misery.

This is bad, really bad, let's hope people from the UK put a stop to this idiot and his plans. The Internet should not be censored.
Notice how governments put these type of things forward when nothing else is going on so that it can make front-page news, allowing it to be judged accordingly by the public?

OH WAIT.
My major issue is that it's being decided by a single man, off the basis of a fucking internet forum.

I see the point about kids being damaged by porn (because if you wind up overwatching overdone pornstars having weird sex, you get deviated standards and expectations), but what I don't see is where this has to be done at an overall level. Take the fucking tags off things: you have to have choices in life, and parents have to have responsibility, otherwise what the fuck is there? You block it at top level, kids cant get access but don't get any feedback as to what's going on. Then, one day, they get on their mum/dad/brother/sister's laptop and find stuff that has been downloaded and it makes no difference, except that the parents haven't imparted any wisdom to the child, the child hasn't learned anything, and thousands of people who are old enough to understand what's going on can't whack off because someone jumped on electioneering 2 years before the next election.
Cameron's set his sights on ruining the NHS, education, and now free-will and making parenting 'easy-mode'. With all the financial catastrophes supposedly caused by the preceding Labour government (which is bullshit he keeps on banging on about, 3 years into his government), so naturally you slaughter the vitals, and then waste time, effort and money on this shit, and increasing your own fucking salary, then hammer students, causing riots (both from student protests and the major 2011 riots) which costs further. Fucking genius plan, all the while condemning people for doing similar shit, supporting riots overseas and generally being the least likeable prick aside from Nick Clegg and the rest of his dickhead cronies...

Sorry, got a little angry there...

Wait, this guy is conservative? Aren't conservatives supposed to be against empowering the government more than it already is?
In the UK it's the complete opposite :(
Nah dude, they're pretty much the same as each other. That said, the Tories have given back some - though certainly not a lot - of the civil liberties taken by Labour. I think this new measure, along with the blocking of torrent sites, puts them near level again.

So how does it know when it's porn? Is it just child porn and other weird shit? Will it ban other 18 rated stuff? If I remove the block to watch 18 rated stuff, am I going to be viewed as some kind of perve and put on a register of people?

Just so many questions...

Also, time to put investment back into DVD pornos? Could make some cash... In fact, I guess I'll still be able to go on ebay and order some porn DVDs. Then I could just share it with people peer to peer. So remind me, how does this help stop this?

I don't buy it, censoring the internet can't be done but if you absolutely MUST try to block porn shouldn't that be a parents responsibility? I mean the tools to block mature content are sitting right there built into the browser or Norton or whatever. If a parent can't be bothered to look into this for themselves and rely on chubby-cheeks Cameron to act as there moral compass then they're not doing it right.
