UK to block porn and require opt-in
- nextparadigms 15y agoYou know where this is going, don't you? Next up: opting in to use torrent sites. They always use the porn strategy first to "get in", because it's easier to amend the future stuff to it, than try to add them from the beginning.
- roadnottaken 15y agoI have such mixed feelings about this. What's the bigger evil, censorship or porn for kids? I had porn as a kid and I turned out (mostly) OK... but I had to wait for it to download on a 14.4kbps modem so it was of a slightly different magnitude to what's available now.
- roadnottaken 15y agoCould something like this fly in the US? or would it get struck down due to 1st amendment?
- brackin 15y agoWhat happens when they start to turn opt in for Sexual health content and forums for sexual advice, this could end up as a detriment. In my opinion any internet censorship is bad, especially when a government is pushing this with a Christian Group. I'm from the UK and can see where this is going, all towards Copyright.
