adi B Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Sorry but every ISP offers nanny-protection. Every search engine offers moderate safe searches. But hey lets block out the whole internet. It doesn't require much tech knowledge from the parents to agree to have these safety measures switched on. How is this any different from Pakistan banning youtube because 'they' want to control what information you have access to? I don't feel its right that I have to call up my ISP and ask "Please sir, can I have some porn?" The biggest issue is something like this just can't be done. How can you have real-time monitoring of every page on the internet? Its not difficult to post a picture of boobs on twitter, shall we block off Twitter as well? Are they gonna do a mass-block of anything that can be seen as a potential risk to children? We're protecting the kids who already snap-chatting their genitals to each other anyway i can understand ur trepidation :((
G_B_ Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 now what will celebs in the UK who make sex tapes which mysteriously "leak" do? this ban will probably never work........even if you ban porn off the net, you can walk into any supermarket and buy a lads mag anyways. There are a million ways round it as well. Porn cannot be banned.

1983-2011 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 whats with all this boo hoo, you can always opt in but they should be consistent and ban page 3 in the sun newspapers and all the lads magazines which has topless and nude images if they do go ahead with this filtering
punjabi_khota Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Clearly they don't understand how internet works.
indiaregulator Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 lets see -britain filled with pakis and turning into a police state(if not already). I can't be arsed to even go for an educated answer to tell you why you are wrong, because you're not going to listen anyway. Also, it's a bit rich from an American, the country which has one of the highest police brutality and misconduct and abuse of power rates in the world, and also incarceration rates, to be saying anything about Britain. There are 1.2million British Pakistani's in the UK. That's less than 2%. Britain = Pakistan indeed. Whilst you no doubt will come up with an equally retarded response, I'm just off to enjoy my free healthcare, cheap education and living without the fear of getting shot by a police nutter.

There are some right clowns on this forum who have weird views about Britain and life in Britain.
hhunaeh Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Parliament's porn habit revealed as 300,000 attempts made to access 'adult' websites from work computers in last year MPs, peers and staff at the Houses of Parliament have tried to access ‘adult’ websites using their work computers 309,316 times over the past year, according to official figures. Almost 850 attempts to click on pornographic websites were blocked each day, the Daily Mirror reports. The revelations will be awkward for David Cameron who has demanded that internet service providers do more to stop children viewing inappropriate content online. A response to a Freedom of Information request uncovered the number of staff trying to access adult content online between May 2012 and July this year. One particularly popular site was “Out of Town Affairsâ€, a dating site for those wanting to engage in extra-marital affairs, which garnered 52,000 hits in seven months. Westminster computers were prevented from accessing sex sites 114,844 times last November alone and on 55,552 in April, while February saw just 15 and in June officials blocked 397 attempts. It is not clear why the figures varied so much as officials could not explain what the filters on parliamentary computers’ internet access identify as porn. But sources who work within the buildings told the newspaper that many blocked attempts to access porn could be down to pop-up videos and pictures that were not deliberately clicked. A statement from the House of Commons said, “We do not consider the data to provide an accurate representation of the number of purposeful requests made by network users due to the variety of ways in which websites can be designed to act, react and interact and due to the potential operation of third party software.†A Commons spokeswoman added, “We are not going to restrict parliamentarians’ ability to carry out research.†:hysterical: But Jim Killock of the Open Rights Group, an organisation that campaigns against censorship, said the huge variation in figures showed the flaw in Mr Cameron’s plan to install porn filters on home computers. The Prime Minister wants an “opt-in†system so customers have to ask service providers not to block adult content. The TaxPayers’ Alliance told the paper it was alarmed by the numbers. Matthew Sinclair, the group’s chief executive said, “These figures highlight the fact that many people working in Parliament are spending far too much time on websites that have nothing to do with their job. “The internet can be a useful tool for MPs and their staff when it comes to scrutinising Government legislation. “However, taxpayers expect their MP and those working in their offices to get on with their important jobs rather than spending time surfing questionable websites. “It’s very important that these figures are in the public domain so that taxpayers can see exactly how the time they are paying for is actually being spent.â€
