Subscribers to four of the UK's biggest internet service providers will have to "opt in" if they want to view sexually explicit websites, as part of government-sponsored curbs on online pornography.

The measures will be unveiled on Tuesday as David Cameron hosts No 10 meeting with the Mothers' Union, a Christian charity. At the government's request the group's chief executive, Reg Bailey, led a review in tandem with Department of Education staff into the commercialisation and sexualisation of children. The Bailey report earlier this year produced a raft of proposals to shield children from sexualised imagery.

Is it me, or does this seem incredibly stupid? Is this really going to change anything?
Kids will swap thumbdrives, use file sharing, emails etc. Couldn't the kids just use proxy servers to bi-pass this?
The UK is going to have future generations of tech geniuses with this new brain fart.

It sets a dangerous precedent too. What happens to the people that "Opt-in" when some fundy hacks into the log files and publishes there names for everyone to see?

I thought parents could already block questionable content with filters, software and user priviledges.


Why do fundy christians cry about not being respected while imposing their beliefs on everyone?

This might be interesting to watch if there is a lot of blowback.
