dead.cell Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I hope the Daily Mail gets blocked by this filter, a good 50% of their "articles" are "Celebrities" getting out of cars with upskirt shots, bikini "babes" and underwear shoots. Not to be "that guy", but I don't understand the part where anyone ever forced you to visit that website. :huh: Unless you can't opt-out of that in the UK, in which case I'm truly sorry. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I don't see the big deal if it's an opt-out? At least they're giving you the choice, more like making the choice FOR you, but still, want pr0nz, opt out! easy!

Tuishimi Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 It has probably been posted and I missed it but how is the opt-out list maintained and protected and what is done with the list (or, who has access to it)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Smith Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 14,820 ppl have signed a petition opposing the porn filter >> http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/51746 In 1 day !!!! Hope u all have signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will just be contacted by their ISP and asked if they want filtering disabled. It's not at any sort of government level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see their reaction to their own site getting blocked by the very thing they campaigned for, for so long. I won't be affected by the filter because I own my own internet in my name, I just find it undignified asking to have it removed. And I'm positive its going to go on a big list somewhere as "potential sex offenders". I can imagine in 10-15 years time when people are running for Prime Minister, it'll come out as a scandal that "John Smith wants to be your Prime Minister, John Smith had his Porn Filter removed on his internet, do you trust John Smith to look after YOUR children" etc. FiB3R 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun N. Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I imagine they are going to do a decent job like they did with blocking TBP etc lol FiB3R 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguekiller23231 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 there are far worse sites on the net that wont be blocked, suicide sites and extreme dieting sites, which actually dose do harm to children. this block on porn is more for the adult population, linking porn to child murderers who had obsessions with child porn. there are networks that bypass the general internet sites for such systems anyway, they wont be effected. why dont the government take their finger out and tackle the real issue.

I didn't know they were campaigning for it and all. Totally agree with you. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGourmand Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'm curious on how this block will work. I mean how the filter is made, blocking a list of sites someone made? Word base filter? That can't work really well. Anyways it's not like it's gonna be effective... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's putting a burden on the ISP... but I suppose they can do that with an automated phone or email system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
