You joke, but as I understand it, all internet in the UK has Government mandated 'adult content' filtering by default and you have to go through a process to prove you're over 18 to have it removed...
So they are much more than halfway there already...
- maest 10mo agoYou understand it incorrectly
- stephen_g 10mo ago“ In July 2013, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) agreed to voluntarily offer “default-on” adult content internet filters on all new and existing home network customers” [1] OK, so the entire industry does opt everyone in to content filtering by default, just every single provider, without exception, does it “voluntarily”. 1. https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN07031/SN07031.pdf https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN07...
- maest 10mo agoYes, that is the correct statement.
- fartfeatures 10mo agoIt's worse than that sadly, there is no way to have it globally removed. You either have to use a VPN or age check with every website that requires it (or at least whichever service they partner with, I've not even looked).
