Having signed a number of these in the past I can predict what the official response will be. They will say that they are not forcing anyone and that the system is entirely voluntary. They'll say it's on by default merely to help protect children from accessing inappropriate content, and they'll say that the block lists are under constant review by a panel of independent experts.

- nextw33k 13y agoYou missed the point, the petition asks not to create a bill for a filter. However the current filter is being put in place without ANY law being enacted. The PM is threatening the ISP's into doing this. This is not a democracy because I actually wrote to my MP about last year. He said he would vote against it. However there has been no vote in the commons.
