BT has filters for gay liftstyle, self-harm and STIs.

Firstly BT aren't the only ones doing this. Secondly, it's common practice amongst internet filters like this to drill down into categories such as "gay rights", "shopping", "gore", "self harm", "guns" etc, this is not uncommon and is perfectly reasonable.

I still disagree with ISP level filtering though, it's going to extend to far more than porn at this rate, and could easily be used as a weapon against other political parties in the near future.

They can change the filtering to stop it from blocking specific sites. Like O2 are going to do it after people complained it blocked charity websites such as ChildLine and also government sites. But yeah it isn't just BT - All ISPs are being forced to do it.

Parents should be looking after their children. It's a shame that legislation has to be made because of lazy or ignorant parenting, as it seems to be a last resort (assuming there is a problem with children looking at porn - haven't seen the figures and even then they wouldn't be fully representative).
