Porn to be banned by ISP's?

[Less]

UK to block all porn by default later this year | The Verge

Now I have no real worries about this, after all it seems if I'm into porn I will be able to apply for a pin to continue such 'browsing?'.
However what do we class as porn? Who is going to decide what is porn?

Of course it's quite obvious that anything involving, children must be a no, no, but (and there is at least one big butt in most porn), during the 17th, 18th centuries weren't there people going around knocking bits off statues or adding robes to classic paintings?
This is now classed as desecration, are we going back to a similar mindset?
Will todays art students have to get themselves onto a porn register to study the human form?

We all have in our minds eye a definition of what porn is, but what I may find pornographic may just be a mild form of titillation to you.

Some of you may be naturists, will legitimate sites for this rather drafty pastime also be banned?

Somehow, even if these measures come into being the people that want their brand of porn will find a way to get around any censorship, this could just be yet another worthless sound bite showing that yet again the politicians are putting on a show of looking after OUR interests when really they are doing nothing at all.

lmao this will not stop a horny teenager yet alone a dirty old man from accessing porn

do they really think the majority of people pay a subscription to a porn site hahaha

all puff and wind and a very poor excuse to begin restricting internet access.It will start with porn and end up with you having to request access to your facebook account and have eveything you type approved before submitting lol

ps:

Labour were just as bad at wanting to control ouractivity on the internet they also dont liek been embarrassed and exposed as liars world wide

I purposely didn't mention any one party, because they all know what is best for us, (usually because they have tried these things themselves).

yeah with labour it was the mandelson media bill which on teh surface looked liek it was for our own good but in reality served the government and gave them cart blanche to basically do whatever they wanted with what you sent via the web

now its this

have the cons skipped directly past obesity and alchol to blame for societies woes and jumped straight to porn..Maybe the mass use of tissue paper is causing the destruction of teh rain forrest hahahahaha

With some of your thoughts, YES.

[gpick24]

I do have a contract with them. Only seen that screen a few times though so not really been a problem.

I think most people know what porn is. It is the kind of stuff you don't want your children to access...the depiction of violent rape of women,beastiality, other stuff which is aimed at perverted tastes......and if you(and I use 'you' in a collective sense) really want to view this kind of stuff you will be able to...you will just have to register to receive it.

It cannot be a good thing for children to be able to type into a search engine something innocuous, but with a double meaning(of which they are unaware) and stumble on porn images.

I'll wait now for the hurling of the red stuff.

I don't see why any right minded person would want to hurl anything at you, you are only saying what most 'normal', people feel.

However let us consider the sledge hammer and the walnut?

If the Government wants to ensure that children don't see porn, throw the responsibility onto the child's parents, teachers or anyone that is supposed to keep the child safe by not giving them access ensuring the nanny protection is in place, check what they are looking at, Any child that comes to my house wouldn't be able to see porn of any kind, Parents should be far more careful when dealing with THEIR children and the web.
Some porn is legal, why should childless people be denied their pleasures?

Though I must say, if they spend their time looking at porn instead of developing healthy relationships, no wonder they're childless.

I agree wholeheartedly Less...it IS the responsibility of parents to ensure that their child is safeguarded, and a lot of parents will already be doing that, but suppose your child goes to a friends house and his parents haven't ensured internet safety .......perhaps your child will see something that they should not see...something that in their own home they would not see.

Some parents are not fit to look after a gerbil, let alone children.

If adults wish to view such images then they will be able to sign up to do so.

This is one governmental intervention that I am in favour of.
No child should be able to stumble upon pornogrphic images.

As to the red stuff...some people hurl it for very flimsy reasons.....it doesn't have to be justified.
