We all know that there are various filters, different for each ISP, which exist because the government pressured them in to it. Generically and collectively we are all oh so terribly lazy and refer to them as a UK porn filter.
Please stop believing that we are stupid enough to take that short hand as literal.
- DanBC 13y agoI've read many posts from people who think that the government controls the filter and controls what is on the filter and that the filter is mandatory. It's important to correct that misinterpretation.

- ghshephard 13y agoAre you suggesting that the UK government does not have a certain list of banned sites that it sends to ISPs that prevent them from being viewed? That sounds like a UK porn filter to me. It also sounds like a filter that the government can use for other purposes, in much the same way it can pick up people for "terrorism" whose sole crime is engaging in political activity the government does not like.
