Filters are already in place, and have been for at least the last ten years. They're currently maintained by the Internet Watch Foundation under the premise of "won't somebody please think of the children", but repurposing the technology would be trivial, and could quite easily fly under the radar since its all centralised.
- vidarh 13y agoYou are quoting what I wrote out of context. The quoted statement specifically is addressing the claimed filtering of extremist views. > but repurposing the technology would be trivial, and could quite easily fly under the radar since its all centralised. Could, yes. If someone wants to document that and/or make a claim about that, then let them write an article about it. There are plenty of potential problems with the IWF. But lets try not to blatantly make up stuff and present it pretty much as if it is a quote, and link it to a page that does not support the claim made in the title at all. It does not benefit us in any way to be flat out dishonest when there is so much that can be legitimately criticised based on real, actual quotes.
