Isn't this specifically intended to identify images of child abuse though, rather than rifle through the average users pornhub cache?

- beaconstudios 9y agoYes, but we are in fact getting a nation wide porn filter in the near future.
- shocks 9y agoAre we? Source?
- have_faith 9y agoI believe they are referring to the opt-out default filter isp's have been enabling. Not sure on the laws surrounding it.
- edjw 9y agoNo laws requiring ISPs to apply filters. It's just a voluntary agreement between ISPs and the Government. The Digital Economy Act 2017 has provisions in it to allow ISPs to apply default filters if subscribers agree to them in terms of service. There are requirements in the DEA 2017 for 'adult' websites to verify the age of people who visit the site with the threat of their website being blocked if they don't comply.

- noir_lord 9y agoI think they just want to introduce a generation of teenages to VPN's because any sane person can see how this is going to go, that's assuming any site outside the UK even bothers to comply.
- merb 9y ago> to verify the age of people which is just silly. because they only need to ask for your age.
- nly 9y agoYou're missing one important detail: the reason the agreement is 'voluntary' is that the Government threatened to force ISPs to do it through law if they didn't volunteer.

- pjc50 9y agoI do wonder how that's going to pan out. Are they going to block reddit, imgur, 4chan, and tumblr?
