You know these filters are optional, right? Comparing these to the filters for images of child sexual abuse is bizarre - they're operated in very different ways.
- madaxe 14y agoCensorship is censorship.
- belorn 14y agoAre filters for images of child sexual abuse written into law? It is a industry standard in Europe, but I never heard that UK actually made a law to force ISPs to use it. as for the linked content-code, it is true that its is not a industry regulation but a rather a industry practice code written by large ISP themselves.
- DanBC2 14y agoI don't know if it's a law, but it's done differently to the normal filters. The Internet Watch Foundation provides a list of sites that are involved in images of child sexual abuse. While they're an industry group, they are a bit more serious about their mission than other filter providers. (http://www.iwf.org.uk/about-iwf http://www.iwf.org.uk/about-iwf) I guess they were formed to avoid the need for legally mandated filters.
