Topic: Confusion reigns as Government announces porn ban
SQUARED :3 !L.....AlN. started this discussion 15 years ago#13,455
Huge confusion surrounds a Government announcement that Britain's four biggest ISPs will be blocking adult content.
BT, Virgin Media, Sky and TalkTalk have all agreed to put blocks on porn reaching consumers, according to various reports in the national press, with several reports suggesting that consumers will be forced to opt-in if they want to view adult content.
Those reports have been dismissed by the ISPs, who claim customers will be asked to make a choice over whether they want filtering on their connection or not. Adult content blocks will not be implemented by default.
Porn blocking
What the big four ISPs are actually doing
The ISPs will use a variety of a measures to attempt to prevent children from accessing inappropriate content. Some will offer network-level filtering, which prevents any computer or device on the home network from accessing adult content; others will use PC-based software that doesn't protect smartphones or tablets connected to the home Wi-Fi.

Why? For fuck's sake, what the fuck is the point of this?
@241,203 (!jEsTERxAng)
The last paragraph seems to imply that they'll be doing a few things on our end, not clear on what exactly though.

You can kill the revolutionary, but you can't kill the revolution.

They're just making the parental blocks more obvious on new sign-ups. There's no blocking going in place, that's just shit-tier tabloid scaremongering.

No they're not. You're insulting every fucking true revolutionary by giving them that title.
They're filthy fucking ignorant scumbags.

The point I was making is you could imprison the rioter but the people would still riot because the causes would still be there.

This. In the recent riot, it was just people with no morals or rspect for others who realised that they could get away with it for a while.
If anything, their cause was to steal and vandalise things.

Can you put Britain or something in the title next time? Otherwise we'll assume it's the USA.
