In the UK, they are going to filter "ordinary" porn

Yes, we have heard so many times about the struggle (or the simulation of the struggle) with child porn, that news on this topic is no longer surprising. But now something new has appeared: in the UK they are going to block ordinary porn as well. Thus, lawmakers hope to protect children from inappropriate content. Yes, again the children, only already, as it were, on the other hand. It is worth noting here that the blocking will be carried out according to the new scheme, when connecting a new client.

According to David Cameron, British Prime Minister, when connecting a new client, the provider will immediately install “family-friendly” filters. Such a filter will need to be configured at the initial connection. If you skip the setting, then pornography will be blocked automatically.

Of course, all this means that all providers of the country should put into operation a web filter (albeit family-friendly) of a single sample. The filter will work for all devices in the family connected to the Network through the established connection. At the same time, content filtering will be carried out according to the "black list", which have already become commonplace. The most interesting thing is that no one knows how and by whom all this is administered.

Among other things, Cameron requires Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines to take urgent measures to combat illegal content, such as child pornography (again she). The Prime Minister has already stated that the words “impossible” should not be in the vocabulary of telecommunications companies. On the contrary, they should use their “magnificent brains” to deal with problems that may arise in the way of fighters with illegal content.

Of course, all this causes discontent of many thousands of citizens of the country. If you have British citizenship, you can put your signature on the protest against such innovations here .
