I know for a fact that the viewer can ban - on the channels. Adult content.

I find that, this is the broadcaster telling us, you can longer do that.

Its disgraceful, being dictated to
For one thing, I don't think the law considers your ISP to be broadcasting content to you, any more than it would consider your phone company to be broadcasting premium rate phone lines to you assuming you called premium rate lines.

For another ,Broadcasters have always, whether legally required to or not, told us what we can and cannot watch. Try looking for any explicit video of sexual organs on broadcast TV before nine o' clock, or hardcore sex at any time.

Personally, I have no problem with the filters ISPs are putting on net connections to block adult content, as long as I have the option to turn it off, should I want.
