Porn to be opt-in in the UK

[Yupt]

love how this is a near whole male conversation.

Actually this could be stopped because it would encourage piracy, and once they're pirating porn it's not to difficult to start pirating a lot more.

I guess sky will be getting more subscriptions to the porn channel

Lol yup.

This is encouraging illegal downloading as Chippie said...what nonsense.

I'll have to Opt-In,

What am I supposed to do on Friday Nights? Joke.

In truth, I don't think it should be allowed? Maybe more boys will get GF's/BF's then? It's like Men's world evolves around pornography, and as most people have mentioned it encourages more and more people downloading illegally.

Although, this won't work as Child Pornography is banned, but I'm sure some people still put it around on sites? It was in the news just a year or so ago about it. I don't know maybe it has stopped? Whom can tell?

I know this is a bump but thought I would since there is only THREE days left for people to protest against it.

Only three days left to protest UK porn filter

The UK’s Department of Education is currently holding a public consultation on parental internet controls, the results of which will influence the coalition government’s decision to implement an mandatory ISP-level content filter, designed to block pornography and other adult content. The consultation ends on Thursday, so there’s only three days left for you to make your voice heard.

Not read any other posts but surely this is ridiculous, most households (I imagine) will opt out, even if the parents don't want kids watching they surely wouldn't block it for themselves too? Parents should be making the most of internet protection tools that are already in place rather than complaining about the ISPs. It's like the Habbo scandal, parents - not ISPs are responsible. If they're that desperate to stop their children watching porn then take away their computer, internet privileges or just monitor it. God.

If this is forced in and we have no choice. Where does the line start? Because there is sites like Tumblr that isn't a porn site fully but you can easily find it on there.

if they're seriously saying

LETS BLOCK EVERYTHING THAT MIGHT CONTAIN ADULT CONTENT

....bye internet
