Internet porn restrictions

[mj.scuba]

Browser or OS level controls should be sufficient, I don't see why people should have to contact their ISP.

You miss the simple difference.Popeye is a cartoon character,whereas I understand pornography mostly employs human actors,or do you watch the XXX versions of Scooby Do? However I do ascribe my violent episodes to a diet of Popeye when a youth.

 

Is he,

because you would be allowing your computer to access over 18 websites, i.e. you could not get it applied to your childs laptop but you could apply it to your own.

 

Your ISP cannot tell which PC it is that is accessing the broadband. Either the entire account is filtered or the entire account is not.

You don't think making it easier for parents to block porn would be better?

 

It should definitely be opt in not opt out, that would mean that parents with very little knowledge could still prevent access. It makes so much more sense.

 

How does a lack of computer knowledge make a filter that must be requested more difficult to apply than one that you must request not to be applied?

[Cyclone]

Anyone who wants to watch PORN should be brave enough to register and give up their anonymity,the same way many young women are stripped of their privacy.The restrictions are full of loopholes and there are so many to**ers who advocate libertarian views,who probably clamp their wives in chastity belts.

What are you going on about?

they could make that possible.

I'm against censorship, I think adult content on the internet should be opt-out.

 

It could be made easier for parents to block their kids from seeing adult content, but to be fair the burden should be on the parent to educate themselves in how to block the content. Maybe schools could distribute educational DVDs to parents instructing them how to block content?

 

And smart phones: should kids under, say, 13 have smart phones anyway? You need to be at least 13 to have access to most social networks etc anyway so what benefit would a smart phone have? I doubt most 9 year olds need access to their email 24/7.

because you might not know that you need a filter. You might expect hard porn or how to commit suicide or how to be a terrorist sites to be blocked at the source.

 

Clearly the less you know about computers the more in need you are of a filter so it makes sense to opt in not opt out.

that would make the best solution be "don't let your kids use it when you are not available to watch" which isn't good either.

 

Also its not censorship on any level if all you have to do is opt in to use it.

when I were a lad you used to just find mags in hedges in the countryside for some reason.

 

Yes occasionally you'd find a black bag full on porn magazines. Those were the days!
