Chris_Sleeps Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Can you hear the next Queen's Speech in your head? "In this session of parliament, my government will block access to the following websites, Anal Action, Busty Babes, Crusty Cocks etc etc". Sounds like some of Berlusconi's cabinet.

Alien52 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 "I wonder what they will class as "porn". Back to 1920 levels I guess." This is a quote from post 1. Basic point,you have to define it before you can ban it. If you take the usual definition,people will struggle to find a route to Scunthorpe and find Tony Hancock clips on YouTube. As has been said,gesture politics to make Dave look good. ---------- Post added 22-07-2013 at 16:01 ---------- As time goes on, does anyone else think we live in stranger and stranger times. Makes you wonder when it well come to a head. I like it. Thats straight for the ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fareast Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 So, I 'm out of a job again ! After retirement, I decided to go in for internet lap-dancing. Although I 'm male, medium-ugly and overweight, I was doing quite well. [ There are some very strange people using the internet ]. Now, I 'll have to see if some magazine will employ me...........or maybe even a lap-dancing club ? There MUST be something out there in these tough economic times ?

Ousetunes Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The BBC seems to indicate it is all pornographic content. Although the law hsn't been written yet so no-one can say what will and what will not be banned. ...so there's another use for the internet?

XXTickerXX Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Finally, one should consider whether any of this is going to be effective in achieving its aims of stopping children becoming corrupted and abused. Frankly, it seems unlikely. Censorship of file-sharing sites is being carried out in the UK almost every month now and as time goes on users are becoming more and more adept at evading the blocks. A sampling of Twitter comments from the last few hours tells the story. “Wow, they couldn’t even block Pirate Bay. Now they think they can take on porn. Morons,” said one unimpressed individual responding to BBC News. “For the effectiveness of efforts to block anything on the internet see the ban on accessing the Pirate Bay,” said another. Worryingly, if circumventing blocks is this easy for people casually looking for some MP3s or a TV show, imagine the simplicity for the hardened child abuser looking for his fix. The solution is not to force ISPs and Google to hide this criminal behavior away in an effort to pretend it somehow doesn’t exist, but to hit it at its source. But the suggestion of how that may be achieved is also just a little bit scary. According to the Guardian, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) is going to draw up a list of “abhorrent” search terms to enable the identification of people searching for this content. Monitored Google searches? We definitely haven’t heard the last of this. http://torrentfreak.com/porn-to-be-blocked-in-the-uk-whats-new-say-pirate-bay-users-130722/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hans Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 What happens when things are banned? People go underground. The deep web contains stuff far worse than what is up here on the surface. It's only a matter of time before kids circumnavigate it via something like Tor, then you're in dangerous territory, then what? Silk Road? All of a sudden, for the sake of banning some relatively soft material, you get innocent people inadvertently coming by stuff they never would have wanted to see. I mean, is David Cameron an idiot? Seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I mean, is David Cameron an idiot? Seriously? The web sites that we really want to ban, are already under-ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bypassblade Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 TBH I thought all this was over banning such as sites that had kiddie sex or violence towards them on them, now I read it's all porn. I don't look myself but I'm sure that plenty of adults (male & female) look at porn, and not the depraved kiddie stuff either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPC464 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The Nanny state strikes again. Except its only forcing people to choose whether to filter or not. They ability to view porn isn being taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
