Plan to block porn sites
Quote:
Porn websites face being blocked to people in the UK if they fail to check users are over 18, under government plans.
The plans would give the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) powers to block porn sites based in the UK and overseas which did not verify ages.
Ofcom's guidance on age checks for online video content suggest a range of options - from confirmation of credit card ownership to cross-checking a user's details with information on the electoral register.

Yes, kids should be proected from porn, but is this the right way to go?
Yeah, like people will willingly give their credit card details to a porn site. And UK government giving porn sites access to the Electoral Register? 
The Great Censorship starts. Or is that "continues".

Re: Plan to block porn sites
isn't the porn filter already opt-out on all major ISPs. I guess that idea didn't work :/

Re: Plan to block porn sites
The best porn filter is decent parenting ,the government wouldn't need to interfere if some parents actually paid attention to their offspring

Re: Plan to block porn sites
Parenting is the only effective measure unfortunately there are many parents who wont do well. however trying to block porn though it maybe with the best intentions ( I have doubts about the intentions ) . will fail the parent who see this as good and will help them will find that the very knowledge that there are blocked / banned things out there will lead the curios to bypass any block or filter with little effort.

It makes me shudder some of the technical naivety that comes from our political assembly.

The thing is that these are simple questions that can be asked of experts.
If any restrictions are put in place, it won't take long for people to use Google to find ways around them.

I know of a very intelligent 9yr old who can get around blocks in a few seconds.

Just because we can't stop all, doesn't mean we shouldn't try to stop some.

I'm rather surprised at this comment Hugh if I'm honest, considering we both work in a similar role.
I would of thought the 'Not everything can be fixed with a technical solution' would resonate here quite strongly ?

Some of what though? It won't stop any of those that actually need to be stopped.
