David Cameron wants to take your porn away

Behold Big Brother!

Isn't that the point of good parenting, low hormones and / or parenting software?

Sounds like a total porn ban. Having said that, I'm not a big porn fan....yet. But still...BAAAAAADD Idea

I don't live there, and don't plan to, but still this sounds rather invasive and big brotherish.

Besides, you can go to Bing Images and find pictures of ANYTHING including rather naughty porn and that's not even a porn site by definition.

I'm not sure what you're saying but a peer based system, make it harder to track this.

I think people have a stereotype of P2P, it includes a lot of thing not commonly called P2P, but essentially peer based or federated.

'Dark web', is a stupid phrase but I know what you mean.

I also specialize in building premium services and private communities (not anything dodgy), and that content never touches a search engine.

The information could still get intercepted by ISPs and via blackbox sent to government agencies, which is why there is often encryption, and custom protocols involved illicit networks.

Anyway like you say there real issue is the amount of ever changing information.

If you want something to survive in the wild create a moving target.

To be honest, I get the impression this is a "Helen Lovejoy" law. The government are fully aware it will do absolutely nothing practical, but it will satisfy the "won't somebody think of the children?!?" hysteria.

"won't somebody think of the children?!?"
Gee, where have I heard that before?

I still snicker a bit at the idea of some British lad (or gal, hey, some women watch porn too!) calling her ISP to allow her to watch porn again

Seriously though, the idea of a database with the opt in/opt outs is unsettling.

I guess the Brits will have to go back to getting their pron in printed from from the other countries in the E.U.

No, we'll have to go back to using the 'what the butler saw' machines on the seafront promenade.

Now, has anyone got a spare ha'penny?

Same can be said for the Left. Big brother knows best.

Yep that line was overused since July of last year....GOSH

It's been used in its various forms for a lot longer than that.
"Think of the children"
"Do it for the children"
"Won't somebody think of the children?!?"
Or in any other form, screeched and bleated by do-gooders in an attempt to get us to go against our better judgement under the false pretense of child welfare.

please sir may i have some porn.

Another Lib-Dem policy that may never get through, This government loves its knee-jerk politics for pro-family voters.

Even if there was policy and law in place, if children wan to see porn, guaranteed there are way around it, most often than not Proxies or other means that bypass ISP Protocol. If there was a monitored opt-in, there are ways to circumvent that as well. If there was an outright ban any porn, it will make sex offenders more likely to offend and limit artistic creativity.

Just another policy that may not get challenged and become law, one of many policies including the Bedroom Tax with no exemptions, I'd say the UK is often going backwards.

Speaking as a resident of this country, it may interest some to know that Cameron's had to somewhat backtrack on his policy - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/po ... 26991.html This bit of news was obscured because all eyes were suddenly on the Duchess' baby. Make of this what you will.

I have worked in software development for many years and have a degree in computing. Save from creating an AI system that can analyze images and decide if they are pornographic or not there is no way of stopping images being viewed.

Even if an AI system could detect pornographic images I doubt it would be able to tell the difference between a page 3 model and a harder porn image.

It is a lost cause.

DC should be encouraging parents to educate their children. If anything is corroding childhood it is poverty, unemployment, lack of education and opportunity, which are all economic policy consequences.

Dont you think, they already have a database, that tells them how old you are? From my oppinion, the only information they will get from that, is how many citizens of their country are already beyond 18. ^^
