What will be extremely interesting is when one of these databases of people who have opted in to receive pornography is leaked. Especially if it contains the names of politicians and other high profile individuals.
I believe that's when the issue of privacy will start to be publicly debated and taken seriously.
- ancarda 13y agoI wonder what will happen if David Cameron is found on that leaked list.
- harrytuttle 13y agoOr placed on that list? We haven't discussed the security of the aforementioned lists as well either. It could be ruinous to be on it couldn't it!
- Tichy 13y agoShouldn't politicians have extra ISPs that are not being monitored? I think politicians deal with so much sensitive information that they should be exempt from monitoring. Also, how are they supposed to form new policies on porn if they can't check it out unchecked?
- AnthonBerg 13y agoHahahahahah Yes, and they should be given the right to judge and execute people, because they are in this special uncorruptable position that has the most information so it is best for society that they be able to weed out predators and parasites. They were voted for by the public majority, the voters have chosen! It's only natural!
- cmsj 13y agoThey should not be dealing with sensitive information, unencrypted over a non-governmental Internet connection, so your point is irrelevant.
- wjoe 13y agoI don't think such a database would mean anything though. If these new filters are anything like the filters that mobile networks currently have, there will be a bunch of false positives, and sites blocked that are sort of "for adults" but not actually pornography. So chances are any adult will want to turn off the filters fairly quickly.
