Not true, BBC and The Guardian are okay. But the Telegraph and the Daily Mail are jokes.

Why, Dave? Why are you doing this? What does this achieve?
> The idea behind the initiative is to shield children from pornography, the Guardian says, and was first proposed by the Mothers' Union, a Christian charity "that seeks to support families worldwide." The group has also petitioned Cameron to force content providers to put age restrictions on music videos and require retailers to sell clothes for children that are considered "age-appropriate," the Guardian said.
Why are these people deciding national policies? I thought we had stopped listening to whiny prudes. Fuck.

Never said the BBC is unbiased and completely trustworthy, their reporting isn't bad for a variety of topics. Obviously I don't read just the BBC.

Here's a thought: stop importing prudes from the middle-east.

They're far better than the papers when it comes to being biased, usually.

Well at least it's opt-in, I suppose. But to be honest, I think if you have to physically stop your children from viewing inappropriate content rather than teaching them about the dangers of the internet, then I think you've failed as a parent.

According to the BBC ISPs will "offer customers the option to block adult content".

Yes, I was actually considering this the other day. I'm going to have a monocle permanently attached to my face so I can act fancy to my coworkers and get away with it. But the top hat is extra.
Anyway, I was thinking about hobbies the other day. Is painting brake calipers a good way to waste time?

True, his comment about Muslims is more of a Walter thing.

This. They should let parents handle this on their own instead of hoisting this on everybody. I thought that Dave was against the government meddling in everything? :(

Putting up fences is a much more rewarding hobby, I've heard.
@231,655 (TTEH !penisGseqs)
If that's the case then it's not so bad. As long as nothing is forced on anybody.

Nah, I just said your comments are racist. Psychopath hates Muslims for some reason.

The state shouldn't force anyone to do anything... if people want an ISP that has the option to block content, they will find one. Don't force it on everyone...
