doubleonothing Posted 22 July, 2013 Share Posted 22 July, 2013 So Cameron is to announce that porn is to be automaticity blocked to all UK homes with the Internet, tough you can opt in. What do the w@nkers of Saints Web make of this! Is it going to far? Will you opt in? Will it be a popular policy? I spend months away with sh!t Internet at sea, so to have porn blocked at home is not something I want. Looks like I'll be opting in (though hope they don't send a conformation letter for Mrs OOO to read) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerx16 Posted 22 July, 2013 Share Posted 22 July, 2013 (edited) This is one of the most stupid, sensationalist, narrow minded, fascist policies that Camoron has come up with, ( and that is speaking professionally - part of my job is controlling Internet access for schools and public access networks ). 1) Define pornography. Will the match day threads with the scantily dressed nuns fall on the wrong side of the line ? 2) Who controls the categorisation process for websites - will it be CESG ? Will all ISPs use the same list ? 3) How does a site that is incorrectly blocked appeal and get white-listed ? ( We had an automatic supplier issued update to our systems a few years ago that blocked access to all broadsheet newspapers ! ) 4) Will they expect to be able to inspect the 'opt-in' lists ? 5) It will not stop the creation or distribution of child pornography by the dedicated perpetrators, which is done by use of VPNs and secure communications systems. Other technical controls need to be used by CEOP, etc, to counter this issue. 6) No filtering system is 100% effective, the only way to block Internet problems totally is to disconnect from it. 7) In my experience, most 15 year old boys are able to find ways around Internet controls anyway. One easy way is to use an anonymous proxy based outside the UK. It will be interesting to see how the ISPs respond.

ecuk268 Posted 22 July, 2013 Share Posted 22 July, 2013 You only have to look at Pirate Bay to see how difficult this can be. My ISP (Virgin) has blocked the original site but there are numerous overseas-hosted duplicates available. As soon as one is blocked, another one appears.

No, he wants to criminalise possessing porn depicting rape! What a joke! No one is going to look best pleased with a fire extinguisher and a pineapple up their hoop and a bag over their head but I don't really see the harm. In all seriousness, I think this is ridiculous. If they are willing actors then what does it matter what they are depicting? Why draw the line at porn - surely the depiction of rape full-stop should therefore be banned? And murder. And anything else that might unhinge a nutter. Nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Child porn is already illegal - it is against the law to view it, even accidentally. Depictions of sexual violence are also, in my understanding, already illegal - covered by the Obscene Publications Act.

If I "opt" to nob a willing girly (this is all hypothetical, of course), the government probs won't know about it unless I send them pictures or something.

The law is perfectly adequate already in defining 'illegal' material, although the Government has cut the funding to the organisation policing it. As for preventing access by children, it just won't happen - they already know how to use anonymising proxies based in the states or elsewhere to circumvent access controls; I had to make a change to our systems this morning as another 'loophole' was brought to my attention.

So it has cross party and various campaign groups support Regardless of who tries to bring this in there is no way it will deliver what they want, attempting censorship of the Internet is a forlorn hope unless you go the way of Saudi Arabia or China, and even there the people find ways around the blocks. As usual it's a headline grabbing blanket solution to a problem involving a small minority of offenders. CEOP and the IWF should be boosted, quite rightly, to tackle the child abuse issue, but most websites directly delivering this material are already blocked by ISP's, based on an IWF watchlist. The serious traffickers in this material use heavily encrypted systems and secure communications to attempt to avoid detection. If you choose to buy a 'top-shelf' magazine you don't have to give your name, home address, and IP address before you buy it, but this legislation will require you to effectively do just that before you access www.playboy.com. Also, as I said earlier, who defines pornography ? If somebody posts a picture on FACEBOOK of their 18 month old child naked in a paddling pool, is that offensive ?

Grey Crab Posted 22 July, 2013 Share Posted 22 July, 2013 Well, I think this is a great idea. We can go back to the halcyon days of accessing our pornography through the traditional way of finding nudie mags in hedgerows and railway sidings. And just imagine the renewed thrill of visiting a foreign country and enjoying their laissez-faire attitude to anal fisting and the like when you happen across some videos in a local grocery store? Face it, we've all suffered heavily from bouts of 'porn fatigue' since the internet has take off. This will invigorate us all. I'm horny just thinking about it.

FWIW I'm not against the move particularly as it doesn't change much in reality but might make it more difficult for kids to view porn before they're ready. But it's not going to stop adults signing in and then watching whatever they do now. So it's largely a political statement by DC aimed at getting a few votes from parents IMO. In the grand scheme of things it won't cost much to introduce fairly innocuous legislation that placates worried mums and dads.

St Marco Posted 22 July, 2013 Share Posted 22 July, 2013 Have to stand up against this kind of thing. It isn't about porn it is about a government deciding what you can and can't see. It starts with this and then before you know it it will spread to other things. These people need to remember they are there to represent us not control us. Cameron and co talk about protecting freedom but yet are determined to bring in things which limit your freedom. People need to stand up to them.
