TalkTalk have already enabled their filters. To disable you just log into your account and un tick the things you dont want to be filtered. When you see the full list you realise ho fucking ridiculous this is. So you have your porn, and gambling and violent websites filtered, fair enough, but add to that social networks and web forums!! this is how state controlled internet begins, we already have the press regulators looking over the newspapers, now the government are restricting what you can see online, this can easily snowball and I hope that enough British people can see this for what it is
Yea, so other words this is nothing too huge to panic for those people who just want to watch some porn. This just weakens little bit their privacy and might lead to some embarrassing or funny moments depending from personalities, when their girlfriend/boyfriend finds out that they have actually opted-out from this. Main difference is that they will have now their own separate "pervy" -database with list of names who have opted-out to watch stuff in internet, instead of being one of the millions of people who have pornsites logged to their internet history. Those worried for spying, it's not like they'd care so much for some random people to have some fat government dude in a black suit sitting on his computer in their spy offices stalking your porn surfing habits and sending you anonymous suggestions depending your tastes like that talking-microsoft-word-helper-clip-thing, unless there is some kind of reason for them to spy or government dude is just bored.
To scare people a bit... Just wondering how long it will take until something like wikileaks will reveal whole list of people from ISPs pervy database linked together with their facebook accounts or sell those informations forward... :stir:
I'm against these government controlled restrictions and just wondering how they will plan to even keep this credible. Something similar has been shown already multiple times in these kind of situations, where they end up much blocking more than they should, block completely innocent sites or sites that just don't do too good for their business image and even breaking some laws and rights when blocking things they shouldn't block. We have enough old people who have their ways and beliefs burned and rooted into their brains like some uncureable disease and are trying to force everyone to follow their ways...
While this thing is mainly to protect childrens and it's easy to blame parents for bad parenting, but unless parents want to grow their childrens trapped in a cage forever and control their every move and friend their children can have, they cannot prevent everything. I've seen so many parents who think their lovely little sweetie is a nice little boy, but whenever they are watching another direction, their lovely little honeybunny doesn't seem all that innocent anymore at all. Boys are boys?... What kids cannot do at home, they will do it elsewhere. Their animal instinct, hormones combined with curiousity will lead them earlier or later to seek out what's all that hashle hidden under those blurred parts shown in TV and then they will want to have a little taste of that forbidden fruit. We live in very sexually open era, you see sex every where, porn is bursting out even from mobile phones. Nowadays some laws are so funny that parents can't really even do anything if their children goes crazy, but to take it and cry, they try to punish their kids and soon they find themselves sitting in court sued from child abuse and violence as someone comes and takes their children away for being such a bad parent.
This is bit related to child watching porn, so I'd be maybe little curious to hear some "professional" views about this video thought:
