Yeah, I agree that if this spreads, then its a real problem for web sites, however, many sites have gone too far and annoyed users to the point where they will not care for the concerns of web sites.
I assume that this sort of thing is a for-runner to general opt-in censorship, like parental controls. Now, we in the UK avoided mandatory opt out porn filters. Meaning that if I didn't want it, I had to essentially declare my self an internet pervert to my ISP. Well, as a parent, I would welcome some controls. If I could have this function on my router, on a per machine basis, that should cover all concerns. Odd to me that the French started with ad blocking and not porn blocking.
- tonfa 14y agoMaybe porn is more relevant to the company culture ;) (Niel was running adult services on minitel before starting an ISP) And it might also be part of the negotiations to get Google to pay for peering that's been going on for a long time.
